I have assumed they want downward pressure on labor costs but by removing labor you just raise the cost of it. Supply vs demand… cut off the supply and the demand peaks.

Raise the labor cost on manufacturing, food, landscaping, etc and you just raise prices for everybody, more runaway inflation happens and the US competes even less with the rest of the world.

Just doesn’t add up to me. Maybe for billionaires the math works out in their favor though.

I’m really wondering what the real reason is behind the anti-immigrant actions. Sure, racism is part of it, but there has to be a money aspect for somebody because of all the extra business.

This is generating a ton of jobs in louisiana, which is basically the last slave state as-is with how their prisons are run anyway.

RIF

was detained Friday at Harry Reid International Airport but was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order

they were literally fleeing religious persecution. Why would they bake religion into what they were creating?

Because everyone thinks their opinions are the right ones.

Someone persecuting you doesn’t mean you’ll go somewhere else and not persecute others who are not on your side.

It’s not the 80s anymore. The correct term is that they are Ignorant, racist, bigots.

I know quite a few spanish speaking people here who are hyper conservative. In general latin america is a greatly more conservative place than the US, so it’s kind of amazing seeing the conservatives here targeting them.

Poorer immigrants usually work in conservative spaces for poverty wages especially if they are not fluent in English, but the conservatives want to kick them out and start the white breeding programs to get some more white homegrown poverty cases going in red states.

Why these people absolutely hate this one guy is completely indeterminable.

it’s like the only thing dumpy really wants is to never be told no, regardless of how wrong his mistake is.

He’s certainly old enough to be significantly impacted by mental decline. Some have it happen much earlier than others.

“Everything is everyone else’s fault! Why can’t everyone see that my way is better for me and my interests?!?!?!”

Sorry donnie, we do see it.

They do not understand and the understanding they have has been formed with propaganda for decades.

American politics has been so far from it’s idealistic roots in democracy and supplanted by the wealthy for decades if not a century or longer. Allowing businesses to fund campaigns openly in the 70s has to have been a big tipping point and why we have allowed it is bizarre to me. We have basically no media today that isn’t highly politicized one way or another. Bezos has altered his media to fit whatever party furthers it’s business goals… like most oligarch owned businesses following suit whether or not they are media.

I don’t think things can be changed anymore though. I think pandora’s box opened at some point and it can’t be shut again without tearing civilization down.

Yeah, you guys made a lot of mistakes. How about you take your thumbs out of your asses, say fuck it to partisanship, and vote your fucking conscious instead of just rubber stamping what your cheeto tells you to do.

If you all stand up to the guy all his power is gone. He only has power over your party because you all give it to him. The nation is only dysfunctional because you just carte blanch vote down anything that isn’t created and edited by your party even if it’s the best thing for your constituents.

in my experience the credit unions I am eligible for are no better than commercial banks.

The best credit unions are highly restricted to a small population with a common association. They aren’t made for the masses.

lol you can’t turn off overdraft protection. I fucking tried. They wouldn’t let me do it.

I am not using a major national bank, just a local/regional one from my hometown.

I wholeheartedly agree with electing young people to drain the swamp that is the state of US politics.

After what happened to bernie and then now what is going on right now it should be clear that the house and senate are not doing their jobs. They should be the ones creating laws, not the executive branch.

You’ll notice that I didn’t call out a particular party. I think it should be a bipartisan effort. Maybe we’d finally get the younger generations to vote if they could relate to the people in office.

They already decided what they’re gonna do about being caught using signal exclusively for communications:

Nothing.

Any republican party member who stands up for this will be threatened with having their seat put up to a primary challenge. This is just a fact.

Remember, whatever the administration says can only be interpreted by fact by anyone who is part of the party. If you aren’t in line you aren’t in the party.

The undesirables will be shipped off to a camp far from the public’s eye and shaven, beaten and humiliated.

So you made a claim, that’s cool. Zero examples though dude? really?

It’s a pretty risky game he’s playing, being the public face of his business while also being an unelected president.

I think most people probably have a lifetime plex pass for their plex server, or they are using alternative servers.

Lifetime pass grants licenses to all clients, at least it used to unless this changes that.

My server has many users and nobody has paid anything aside from my original buy of $120 in 2019. So far that comes out to about $1.67/mo for unlimited users and unlimited updates.

I’m not saying I really like the updates though. I think they should have remained slim, but someone is trying to make more and more money by branching out into bullshit beyond private media serving. All that trash should be separate products that are divorced from the private media server / client product.

All this being said, check out Jellyfin, little reason to use plex over it for private media but it has some limitations if you need subtitles or cannot relocate file structures.

I completely understand. In ITIL terms they’re addressing the incident - the thing that is causing someone immediate harm. To continue the ITIL analogy, the problem is not being addressed and will never be addressed. I am confident humanity will never stop using the concept of mental disabilities as a slur regardless of the verbiage used.

Any ‘nice’ term you can think up is immediately ammo for someone to use once it starts getting traction as the new way to talk about it. “Trump has a mental disability”, “republicans are mentally disabled” are two examples of what people could say until that term is no longer acceptable, and the cycle repeats.

Really what should change is that mental disabilities should be normalized so that descriptors cannot be used to degrade people based on a reality that cannot be changed.

Anyway, regardless of our best intentions, empathy, patience and understanding for others, the cycle will just keep continuing. Idiot is a great example of a word for the same thing and is used frequently and often because people simply have forgotten over the generations how it was once used. It’s original term was innocuous, simply describing common individuals, not necessarily implying any truly negative thing. Eventually it was used to describe the mentally disabled, and then used as a slur, and then it fell out of favor for a long, long time. Ultimately the meaning and the application is the same. The problem remains.
