It would take more than a couple. Trump is terrible on his own, but he isn’t the sole problem, he’s largely just a symptom of the bigger problem.

I wonder what universalmonk is doing now. Probably spending their big fat new commission/check.

He of all people has earned a retirement, but I’m still thankful that he’ll be around to add a voice of sanity.

Nah, it would have just kicked the can down the road, leading to accusations that promises mean nothing. UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml is already doing so a post or two below you.

But yeah, she should have said that from the start.

Good thing I wasn’t talking about what he was convicted of, and instead was talking about what he did. Defense lawyers always try to negotiate and reduce charges to lower ones.

Now answer my question. What would you have us do with him?

A life sentence for attempted 1st degree murder isn’t draconian. What would you have us do, set him free?

As a modern state with a functionning justice system

That might just be the best joke I’ve heard all week.

Do you honestly think right wing media is jumping at the chance to share the pro-hitler side of Trump?

For me personally, it was easier to just write a few python scripts to parse the CSV files from my banks.

I switched over to this last month, and I’m already a fan of it. It did take a bit of time to port over my old shtitty excel tracking, and to write a few python scripts to parse the export CSV files from each of my bank accounts, but it is very clearly worth it.

One of the nice things is that it uses a SQLite db to store everything, so if shit ever hits the fan with one of my drives or the software, it isn’t the end of the world.

You can self host it so you can access it over the web, or you can choose to run it entirely locally. It’s pretty nifty, and I’ve elected to using it for the second option.

I prefer companies owned by many people over one person or family owning the company.

Agreed, which is why the stock market needs to go. The only way for labor to truly own their workplace is if they’re the only ones who can control it (within reason). A stock market allows for the rich to single-handedly buy up a majority of the shares and control a company.

Instead, every company should eventually be turned into co-op nonprofits.

because it would just be to hard to make money at some point that we would want to titrate to make sure no company becomes a monopoly.

Sure, however having multiple avenues of preventing megacorps from forming is better. It’s easy for a powerful corp to undo one or two regulations, but not so much if it is a cohesive system of regulations.

Honestly I think we should outlaw holding companies and such.

Absolutely agreed.

Only allow stock to be owned individually by individuals.

I’d say we should go a step further and kill the stock market in it’s entirety through a moratorium on IPOs.

We can absolutely do both, and more.

Here me out, the biggest X companies should automatically be split on a yearly basis, with a ban on company mergers.

Are you seriously trying to compare the 2?

You’re a fool if you think that the lives of queer people aren’t in danger from GOP policy.

Having concern isn’t the same thing as comparison, or even statement of equality. Quit assuming bullshit.

Get this, we can fight for more than one thing at a time, even if certain things have higher priority.

Queer lives are at stake too, and it isn’t just about living.

OP post is concerned about LGBTQ rights

Which they should be, because they are being threatened.

we are not under threat of life.

This isn’t true, and is a moving the goalposts fallacy.

I wonder what the chances are of him living just long enough to see Harris inaugurated before his rotted brain gives out on him.

a person either is concerned about all human rights or they’re concerned about none.

‘Very all lives matter of you.’
