  • These past few years have been very illuminating

  • It wasn't blue on blue. It was vested interests Vs a genuine candidate. The state of NY voted trump in, not because they like him, because they didn't want the democrat party. This party as a tool of the corporations is finished. You're watching its death throes.

  • Feeling concern for the welfare of a corporation is a lot like caring for a lion or some other large predator. You don't want to see it suffer but you know that it could turn on you at any moment, when it's convenient for them.

  • We are wistful for the days when our biggest problem was getting rid of kings and queens. Our first order of business is getting rid of bigots and racists. Then we can focus on alleviating the stranglehold of business, which will clear the path for dealing with climate change and investing in our health and education.

  • Why did Trump appoint so many incompetent underqualified sycophants to government positions?

    Jump

  • It matters if the boss is an idiot but if most people in an organisation are competent it can limp forward. Probably won't achieve much of lasting value. These type of populist regimes tend to evaporate as quickly as they arrived.

  • English people. The Scottish, Welsh and Irish mostly disapprove of the monarchy. Very few people aside from the English actually like these people. I guess that goes with the territory of being a billionaire family for hundreds of years.

    How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?

  • Is this mostly a ADHD thing? They tried to make me learn times tables at school but that never stuck. Recently had to solve a problem with a CRC and part of that was manually calculating a long division in binary. At some point realised I didn't even know how to do that in decimal so wound the clock back 35 years and learnt it from scratch. Badda bing badda boom, working CRC 🤓

  • Why do fancy cars look fancy and cheap cars don't? Can't you just slap a Lamborghini-style chassis onto a lawnmower engine if you want?

  • I would not argue against that. Two steps forward and one back is usually how it goes with technology. Reliability is the problem that has only been achieved relatively recently. I remember a time when the hard shoulder was full of stalled vehicles. Japanese cars from the 70s and 80s were notably inferior to their competitors. We've come a long way in making this technology polished and affordable to the masses. Now the science shows us it is contributing to climate change and we have a new challenge. So it goes.

  • I would argue that it is already the case that cheap cars look and perform excellently, compared with cars produced fifty years ago. They are more reliable, economical, comfortable, higher performance, superior in virtually every respect.

    The other factor to consider is the use case. Something like a Ferrari is not reliable compared to a VW Golf, it sucks at carrying passengers and cargo, terrible fuel economy, it is horrible value for money and inferior in most ways apart from one - compensating for a small penis. That is its chief purpose and it is supremely well crafted for this use case.

  • English DNA and the green party do not mix. You will never explain that car culture, shit education and healthcare are a problem to these people. What you need to do is directly access their feels and leverage their innate sense of entitlement with a populist message and a cultish leader. Or wait for the ecosystem to collapse, that's a good option.
