Do you literally hear yourself? You think large corporate and oligarchs run insurance, tech, etc., is a better route than a public option? 💀 Jeff Bezos, Musk, Thiel, and Ellison for everything?

Large corporations and oligarchs are better? I’ll take the government. At least we can vote on them.

I hope they consider other ways of doing things after this incident.

Why do we place so much reliance on one mega company? This level of importance. It should be seized by the government.

Eh, the rhetoric was still being pushed just in different ways.

Surely, this is going to eliminate many white collar jobs!

They are Christian nationalists and many of them want authoritarianism.

Is this enshittification final boss yet?

I think our best bet is to support local, co-ops, etc. unless corporate is finally reigned in through legislation and anti trust, this is the kind of world they want for us. A world devoid of human interaction.

I do not agree with Trump but the NG (so far) have not done anything crazy where they have been deployed. Sitting around twiddling their thumbs is hardly harming anyone. Most of them do not want to be involved in this nonsense. They have not been like the sociopaths in ICE.

I see small government is among us!

Most of the general public buries their head in the sand. They are convinced being politically involved is either a waste of time or makes you crazy.

Why are so many European countries doing this? Why the sudden push for chat control and internet restriction laws?

This was bad enough for the public sector but giving this task away to evil Silicon Valley billionaires is incredibly stupid.

I hope Elon meets the same fate as good ol’ Charlie

They need to go, whether through legislation or other means

The whole system modeled on infinite growth is not sustainable. The population is aging and we’re running out of markets and increased competition abroad. We’ve hit the end of the road for the post WW2 era. The American model in almost every industry just milks and extorts the working class and they are running out. Between big pharma price gouging citizens, banks trying to deregulate, and big tech out of any innovation just making harmful advertising/surveillance capitalism. They are running out of ways to extort and keep maximizing profits without harming citizens. They are trying to seize more control and influence of the government because of this.

Amazes me how the UK Labour Party and Starmer managed to absolutely squander their one opportunity after gaining power for the first time in many years.

Republicans call anything that does not align with their billionaire funded think tanks and knockoff media sources fake or lying. I mean they literally replaced AP with some knockoff bullshit media source for the White House. You think this is about verifiable sources?
