  • Trump threatens to move $3B in federal grants from Harvard to trade schools

    Jump

  • I'm cool with this. Let's devalue the trades by having an over-abundance of blue collar workers while simultaneously increasing demand for white collar jobs by reducing the supply of educated workers.

    I get my toilet unclogged for even cheaper, and I get more money ten years from now when demand has risen.

    I'd prefer to just have educated workers instead of glorifying back-breaking manual labor that the employees hate, but ill take a win where I can lol

  • Not sure how anyone can look at this and believe these two things concurrently:

    1.) This is acceptable, and............ 2.) I'm not the bad guy

    There is really no acceptable justification for any of this, tbh. If there are still "bad people" and "terrorists" in Gaza, why doesn't Israel just man up and go get them instead of starving this random person to death?

  • Alabama lawmakers approve additional legal protections for police officers

  • Right? What else is left? The red police state just grows stronger.

  • President Trump's Qatari 747 is a flying security disaster

  • This was literally my first thought. You'd basically have to go through every one of the millions of components across every square inch to verify there was nothing sketchy going on. Not to mention, you'd have to review all of the software and firmware to make sure it wasn't modified or sabotaged in some way. It would take an excruciating amount of effort to make it "safe".

  • I think Trump has Trump Derangement Syndrome

  • I don't really care what you think, tbh

  • Gas stoves nearly double children’s cancer risk, Stanford study finds

  • Tbh, I'm always smoking the house up to get the right crisp on my chicken. I might be using the wrong oil, and I know I'm probably not the only one lol

  • Maga voted for cuts and gets cut.

    Jump

  • "They were supposed to cut the things that I didn't think were important, even though other people thought they were important. They were not supposed to cut the things that I thought were important, even though other people didn't think they were important." Lmao!

  • Stephen Miller claims Americans likely ‘willing to pay more’ for US-made dolls

    Jump

  • Yeah, and I think everyone has forgotten that even the cheap, easily broken stuff helps us save money. I'll happily buy the cheap 100 dollar Chinese tool to fumble with for an extra couple hours on a one-time car repair that saves me 500 dollars compared to the only American option, or 900 dollars going to a shop instead.

    Things are just going to end up broken and unfixable in the non-industrial world too.

  • After killing unarmed man, Texas deputy told colleague: 'I just smoked a dude'

    Jump

  • I never see more cops than when I go to Texas. It's insane

  • Sanders says Arkansas in 'dire need of federal assistance,' but Trump says no - Arkansas Times

    Jump

  • I'm honestly pretty surprised they're not favoring red states in matters such as this.

  • Toyota expands electric car line-up with bZ7 large sedan

    Jump

  • I wish they would just suck it up and commit to making these things into full-on hatchbacks, shooting brakes, and estate cars. They are way better designs than this weird slope-into-a-high-trunk they are doing. More functional too

  • Canadian politician thanks ‘malignant narcissistic slug’ Trump for uniting his country

    Jump

  • An amazing insult, tbh

  • China orders carriers to suspend Boeing jet deliveries amid trade war, Bloomberg News reports

  • The Repubs wanted to come in and strong-arm everybody into doing what they wanted. They didn't consider that the other guy could just walk away and avoid the interaction entirely tho. Gonna be seeing a lot more of this

  • A common pro-government argument is "How would you protect yourself without a government/the state/the police?" How would you refute this?

  • You have two roads that need to get built and nobody wants to wait. Who gets their road first? There is no escaping the necessity of having a decision maker.

  • People have short memories. The reason the "government" exists in the first place was because everyone agreed that it was better with it, and it turns out people are shitty and they're going to abuse you to the maximum extent of their physical ability if nothing is there to stop them.

    This "organization" you talk about is literally just government. Sorry you don't understand the system that was painstakingly set up for you over the last couple thousand years through bloody trial and error.

  • Agreed. All this shit is just a hop and a skip away from literally every other nation out there that's not already devolved into such bullshit.

  • Retaliation against US tariffs is the EU’s only real option.

  • AGREED. We need to be moving further away from tribalism and isolationism, not back toward it. This path we're on is the complete opposite of the Star Trek-esque utopia I always envisioned.
