The entire file! My biggest frustration with cursor is that it doesn’t support reading from multiple projects at once so it can see the context of how the projects interact or how interfaces are implemented.

What? Why would a job in Mexico pay enough to live in the US… That makes no sense. Cost of living isn’t even the same across the US.

It is. They’ve got you conditioned to accept that government is just there to hurt you, it’s supposed to make society worth living in.

Americans have such a shitty life that they’re addicted to drugs and can’t stop buying them, but sure, it’s Mexicans sneaking it in.

However ideology like this leads to issues in reality.

Issues for who? The consumer? Or the capitalists?

If a competitor gets lower prices would hint at some questionability.

It would hint that it’s a shitty product, presuming no foul play by the government and the product is not overpriced (doesn’t appear to be).

Government correction becomes suppression. Suppression leads to . . .?

Government correction how? From suppression I think you mean lowering their price? The scenario you’re laying out doesn’t make sense.

The point of this kind of product is to be the baseline, no capitalist should be able to afford to offer the same product for less, because the government already has the lowest possible margin.

You start by making a better product, and you can charge whatever people decide the improved product is worth. It’s a good thing that an asshole capitalist can’t market a $7 bar of chocolate when a very good quality one is $1. At that price difference, your chocolate better be amazing.

That’s objectively not true.

I love Pop OS because it got me back into Linux after ditching it for windows for the last 10 years, partly to do .net development and partly because I hated the state of Ubuntu/Unity.

As soon as cosmic is stable and easy to install on Nix I’ll switch to it.

You guess very stupidly, and without evidence. No one suggested “anything goes”, and you’re once again implying an action that occurred in an attempt to stop genocide is isolated act of aggression.

It doesn’t “go”, Houthis don’t just get to sink ships, that’s not the argument being made.

Israel is actively slaughtering children, and they’ve been warned for well over a year now to stop or ships heading their way will be attacked.

I know you understand the concept, you’ll happily attribute the death of civilians indiscriminately bombed in a besieged enclave to the resistance militants and disgustingly call them human shields… But here they aren’t living in an open air prison that they aren’t allowed to leave, here they took a job on a ship going to a state that’s currently unapologetically live streaming a genocide.

Let’s trace a line from Jimmy Carter’s presidency through to Trump and the broader neoliberal catastrophe we inhabit today… Connect the dots with me…

1. Carter deregulated key industries (airlines, trucking, finance), under the logic that competition would lower prices. This deregulation began dismantling worker protections and union power.

He appointed Paul Volcker, whose interest rate hikes (to “fight inflation”) tanked employment, crushed organized labor, and shifted power toward capital. This “Volcker Shock” initiated decades of wage stagnation and debt reliance for working people.

And he began rolling back the welfare state while not building meaningful alternatives, opening space for Reagan to fully gut it.

The economic consensus began tilting toward free-market absolutism: austerity, privatization, and attacks on labor.

2. Oh boy!

Afghanistan: Carter (through Brzezinski) greenlit support to Mujahideen warlords before the Soviet invasion. This led to a brutal proxy war that helped incubate violent jihadist networks, including the early precursors to al-Qaeda.

Iran: Carter supported the Shah until the regime collapsed. The hostage crisis and U.S. blowback paved the way for U.S. militarization of the Middle East.

Israel/Egypt Accord (Camp David): Removed Egypt as a counterweight to Israel, entrenching U.S.-Israel hegemony in the region, with Palestine marginalized entirely.

The U.S. became further entangled in Middle Eastern conflicts and oil politics, setting the stage for endless wars, 9/11, and Islamophobia.

3. Reagan didn’t invent neoliberalism, he codified what Carter started:

He Used Carter’s deregulation as precedent to further destroy labor, defund public goods, and privatize government. He pushed tax cuts for the rich, shifting wealth upward. And he expanded the security state and laid ideological groundwork for the racist turn in U.S. policy.

4. Clinton continued deregulation (Glass-Steagall repeal). He was responsible for mass incarceration (“tough on crime” laws), and he signed NAFTA, decimating domestic manufacturing and labor organizing, and he “reformed” welfare which deepened poverty.

5. Obama bailed out Wall Street, not homeowners. He expanded drone warfare and surveillance, and he sold a technocratic sheen over systemic rot, giving way to disillusionment.

6. Neoliberalism’s mask fell off, the culmination of 40 years of rot, Trump used populist rhetoric and fascist tactics to deepen wealth inequality, gutted regulations, and emboldened white nationalism.

I’ll skip Biden and his genocide and go back to Trump, since Trump is continuing it, and we’re back at the end of the line, what shape did it make? A pile of shit on fire.

Climate catastrophe unaddressed, mass surveillance and militarization is well entrenched, working-class despair fuels far-right movements, and Palestine remains occupied and brutalized with U.S. complicity.

All this starts not with Trump, but with liberal acquiescence to capital: Carter’s pivot away from postwar social democracy toward corporate and military alignment.

If you’d like to do some reading, and if you’re willing to hate everyone you ever respected. First learn about neo-liberalism and why it’s really bad, then review Carter’s presidency.

Jimmy Carter started the fire everyone blames Trump for. He kicked off deregulation, empowered Wall Street, and backed brutal regimes abroad, all while smiling about “human rights.” That shift gutted unions, killed good jobs, and fueled endless wars. Reagan doubled down, Clinton made it bipartisan, Obama gave it a pretty face, and Trump lit the wreckage on fire. It’s not about party, it’s about 40+ years of selling out working people to corporations and empire. Carter didn’t end the New Deal. He started the funeral.

No, but I did warn my mailman not to deliver the ammo to my neighbor who has already killed my uncle’s entire family and is promising to murder my wife next.

We can play this game forever. The reaction to genocide isn’t worse than genocide.

Man, imagine watching a live steamed genocide for two years and when a few people get hurt because they’re working on a ship that supports the genocide, that’s when you feel empathy.

Because Democrats are not your friends, and this is just another attempt to keep up the illusion that they fight on our behalf.

it would suck to be under rocket and terrorist attacks frequently.

Two years and you still don’t see who the aggressor is?

In 2023 alone before October 7, Israel killed 242 Palestinians which includes 47 children. Israel killed 47 Palestinian children in 2023 alone before October 7.

The Gaza ghetto uprising might have been gruesome and unpalatable, but it’s Gaza that was defending itself against Israel, not the other way around.

Domains need to be registered annually and DNS servers are needed to route traffic to them. But using an IP directly, you don’t need to worry about domain registration issues that can brick your systems, and you don’t have to worry about DNS providers knowing about your traffic (or maintaining your own private dns).

If it’s not a user trying in a memorable domain, an IP serves much better.

Easy, you’re a salaried employee and “seasonal duty: light warehouse work”

Boom, it’s part of your job.

That’s irrelevant…

You continue to ignore that what I’m saying is right: you only care because you can blame the USA.

That’s a baseless assertion, why would I entertain it.

You are choosing to be here.

Right. See, if you’re actually curious to talk to Palestinians, we can clear up these idiotic talking points you keep repeating brainlessly. Let’s try. This story is very familiar with many Palestinian Americans, but this is mine.

No, I didn’t choose to come here. My parents did. You’re right, they could have chosen to stay in a refugee camp and became mujahedeen, but they were born right around the Nakba and they only know Palestine under occupation. They were not very well educated, they learned their trades through apprenticeship and UNRWA schools.

They left Palestine for Jordan because of economic chokehold Israel has on Palestinian, they had no choice. They them immigrated to the US again for economic reasons. They were not very political, they looked at Arafat the same way you seem to look at Democrats: genuine fighters for the cause and just waiting to bounce back. They didn’t know what we know now, that he sold Palestine for personal comfort.

I was an older teenager when I immigrated with my family, again not by choice. As a Palestinian/Jordanian I knew of the struggle, but I knew the Jordanian propaganda version: (then) king Hussein is the protector of the holy sites, he saved the West Bank by annexing it, and was working hard for a two state solution. We (most Palestinian expats) accepted the two state solution.

We lacked the class consciousness and historical readings to understand that the two-state solution was always a distraction while Israel conspires with Jordan and Egypt to slowly eliminate all of Palestine. Look at the map of Palestinian territories today.

So in short, we didn’t know. We didn’t know that the biggest misstep Arafat made was to recognize Israel, we didn’t know that America’s interests are entirely aligned with erasing Palestine, we didn’t know the Democrats position of support for a two state solution was fake.

We bought everything the Democrats said about human rights and morals, we celebrated Obama, we voted for Biden and the first time and worked SO FUCKING HARD to convince everyone we know to vote for Biden because democracy depends on it… We elected our Hitler.

We’re awake now. We’ve seen enough shredded babies, enough IOF soldiers publishing their own gleeful war crimes, and we watched the Democrats blame the babies for being human shields while our tax dollars funded Biden’s unwavering support for the genocide. The illusion was destroyed, the propaganda became obvious, they’ll use Palestinians or African Americans or LGBTQ Americans and they’ll give those communities small advantages while preserving a system that’s designed to exploit all of us for the benefit of the ruling class.

The issue is not America, the issue is capitalism. Capitalism is the root cause of all of the above. Hard to communicate that to an audience that lacks class consciousness in a thread specifically about US domestic politics, so I’m attempting to just put questions in peoples’ heads so maybe they’ll start asking more questions that should lead to the same conclusion: the Democrats are not your friends.

If you came to learn the party you supported would take an exception for ALL of the positions you supported them for when it comes to Palestine, why wouldn’t you ask questions?

People genuinely argue that Trump is worse for Palestine, but so far he’s been mostly talk. We’ve seen the worst of the failing genocide under Biden and he showed no signs of remorse. Trump is worse for the US.

Both parties want to take us right and turn us into wage slaves though.

For the record, I see futility in arguing with a (possibly a bot) disingenuous asshole. I’m responding for posterity so maybe others passing by can see this conversation and judge for themselves.

I am Palestinian, and I’m living in America speaking not my native tongue and arguing with an asshole who in response to me saying “Democrats backed a genocide” wrote all the awful shit you did. You’re a bad person.

Both parties suck and are ruining the country. Here’s an idea, let’s take the jackass that jumped around with a chainsaw and sawed away people’s benefits before giving two Seig Heils at the worse of the two horrible parties, let’s go with his new party.

What a joke.
