The position is to acknowledge results of an election. That should be enough. For more information there is a ton of resources like Harris’ website.

In a two party system this is always true. But what do you mean by “Trump”. What does it mean to not be like him?

This is a result of the electoral college. It is more important to get centrist states to vote than for millions urban voters to be excited.

The FTC is just starting to go after oligopolies. So yes, institutions supported by Democratic bureaucrats are going after powerful conglomerates. Results can be seen in the denial of the Capri tapestry merger and the language used by the judge in the case.

Trump is the urban elitist you are referencing. Why does he get a pass from the voters from rural places?

The state of Maine disagrees. Dems got ranked choice to pass.

I also wish the Dems would promote more progressive policies. At the same time, the media does not celebrate the wins for Dems, such as the creation of the CFPB that Elizabeth Warren established. They don’t celebrate the response to oligopoly through review of mergers and acquisitions by the FTC under Lina Kahn. They don’t celebrate the reduced child poverty rate under the expanded child tax credit. Positive progress doesn’t make it to mass media even when it does happen, which isn’t often enough.

For more context. This was a Oceanis 393. so about $100k boat. And it was in the Strait of Gibralter. Not the poorest area of the world.

Not in our current tax bracket world.

I think the real take away is that there are so many people willing to speak out against Boeing’s procedures that odds are some are going to die before the conclusion of this investigation.

Somebody that fits this description (excluding ACAB) won the Presidency. Self promoting and selfish desires. The “greed is good” era has continued pushing a selfish culture over community driven goals. This is especially true in the large media organizations and social media. Media makes decisions for profits and selfish goals over community engagement, education, and cohesiveness.

But, there are many counter examples in the actual community. The community driven people just make less noise online. I volunteer with college kids and the generosity and desire for community building is really impressive. I would not find this online but in real life it is very evident. But no one makes money selling things to people who care about others more than themselves. So advertising and social media cater to the selfish side of people so that is what we see more often.

There were massive protests. We just haven’t finished the job of restructuring police in America. Once that happens the history books will acknowledge how far and wide protests were. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd_protests

A lesson learned from Animal Farm babyyyyyy

Whether VR works for Meta or not, they have invested in technology and built careers for employees. This is why we should have corporate taxes. I’d rather see corporations keep employees and advance technology instead of giving dividends to the wealthiest people in the world. While the product might not work out, I bet there are many people who worked on it that will take those skills to new projects.

I don’t think they claimed they were greedy because they were Indian. I think it is more of a question on why the Indian people who have been successful in tech are implementing the profit motive policies and what overlapping culture we share with India that would lead people to that capitalistic goal of profits over product. Isn’t that something worth exploring? I think it already has led to an educational discussion where one commentor mentioned the history of worker actions in India.
