  • As the operator of the other circus once said, “all publicity is good publicity,” and “there’s a sucker born every minute.”

    And as the other clown, Dr. Strangelove, once said, “the whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost, if you keep it a secret!”

    The idea of a Federal cemetery being “sacred” and the strangers buried there being “honored” is so far removed from the every day fight for survival of the average, brutally exploited wageslave American, the notion that starting a fight there could budge the needle on an election lacks credibility. However, injecting the knowledge into the global zeitgeist that there’s a cemetery in America where rows of uniform gravestones extend as far as the eye can see, marking the depths of USA’s brutality and Will to Power - that sends a message.

    That’s not a solution. From the sidebar:

    Users that . . . weaponize reports . . . will be banned.

    One of the things that went wrong with reddit, is some mods weaponized that rule itself, using it to provide immunity to rule breakers they agreed with by banning people who reported the rule breaking behavior.

    Its unreasonable to ask users to report bots while simultaneously forbidding us from testing if its a bot before making the report. It reeks of having a pro-propaganda bot agenda.

    Are bots now explicitly permitted? Or is just that users are banned from revealing them, making bots implicitly permitted?

    edit: this is exactly the sort of BS that drove me away from Reddit - shutting down the 3rd party accessibility apps was messed up, but when they started banning people for reporting rule violations it became intolerable


  • Once the factories come online and there’s domestic product to buy, that will probably become an important component of the strategy to bring manufacturing back home.

    On the other hand, tax credits don’t benefit everyone who might want to buy an EV. For example, government agencies like the USPS would save nothing on the taxes they don’t pay, but they would benefit from lower prices brought about through economies of scale in domestic manufacturing. Non-profit 501©(3) and not-for-profit 501(d) corporations likewise find tax credits to be unhelpful.
