LordCrom@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Bill Ackman pledges to bankroll any NYC mayoral candidate capable of defeating Zohran Mamdani24·4 days agoAlways follow the money. Why are GOP and billionaires afraid and against this man who pledges to help the poor and struggling working class? Because they obviously have an interest in keeping the poor and struggling in the status quo conditions in which they live.
If helping the poor didn’t hurt their bottom line, they wouldn’t pay to keep it from happening.

LordCrom@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•RFK Jr. Wants Every American to Be Sporting a Wearable Within Four YearsEnglish9·7 days agoFollow the money. Nominee for surgeon general has a stake in wearable tech.
Just like when those scatter machines were forced on the TSA, it’s because the person in charge had a stake in the company making them.
My company gave these things away to each employee for some ‘fitness challenge’ between departments…I never even opened the package. My group was mad at me for not helping win the free lunch or whatever it was … Until I made them read the privacy policy. Many stopped wearing them immediately

LordCrom@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How much data do you require before you accept something as "fact"?4·15 days agoThat’s the great thing about science.
Things that are considered facts in today’s world can be disproven by new experiments and observations (recreated through experimentation and after adequate peer review).
So for me, it depends on what is being evaluated. 2+2 is a fact. Exact age of the moon might be up for more debate.

They say it helps security, but of course it assures those features are on letting them suck in more data about the person.

Well it’s obvious she wants to be seen as a loyal GOP supporter or Trump with her ‘yes’ vote, but still wants the bill to be delayed. Having the house delay the bill makes her look like a loyal lapdog for optics, but secretly wants changes and can blame someone else for the bill being delayed instead of having the delay blamed on her vote
