7·18 days agoThe market will shrug it off like it did with the tariffs (which were also supposed to tank everything) because line must go up no matter what. Maybe if the market regained some semblance of rationality it would recognize how bad things are, but that’s not where we’re at, so it’s pointless looking at the market as some sort of measurement of anything to do with reality.

politics @lemmy.world•Senate rejects extension of health care subsidies as costs are set to rise for millions of Americans
1·2 months agoThere are ways, but they’re even less effective and impractical than they were when companies weren’t all merged together and government wasn’t flooded with lobbyist dollars. Now industries are dominated by 2-3 major players who collude on prices through “algorithms” and the government is openly for sale to the top bidder. Money completely rules all, guess who has more money. That’s the only thing that talks “peacefully” now.

politics @lemmy.world•Senate rejects extension of health care subsidies as costs are set to rise for millions of Americans
1·2 months agoAs I already stated, peaceful solutions are easier to ignore or quash. You cannot negotiate with someone who can already get their way because they have nothing to gain. Negotiating to them means giving things up. If they refuse to negotiate, how are you going to bring them to the bargaining table?

1·2 months agoI don’t know how you can think I’m giving a free pass to republicans when right in the part you quoted I’m saying they’re worse than democrats. I skimmed the rest of your moralizing lecture and you’ve made a hilarious strawman that doesn’t represent me at all, but I hope you enjoyed your masturbation session, “champ”.

politics @lemmy.world•‘I Shed My Blood for This Country’: U.S. Army Veteran Born In Jamaica, Living In U.S. for 50 Years, Jailed By ICE After Not Using Turn Signal
3·2 months agoOkay, what is happening to him is a humanitarian crisis, but they arrested him for driving without a license, not because he missed a turn signal.
Technically true, but the turn signal was an excuse to pull him over, it’s not like they knew he didn’t have a license. At the same time, is he able to get a license without legal status? He has lived in the country for 50 years, but these technicalities are what give the excuse to deport him.
It can be argued “the law is the law” but what kind of society are we trying to achieve by enforcing these technicalities (while also permitting the corruption and outright illegal acts of the president)? It’s a case that highlights the broken (intentional or otherwise) system of legal status within this country and how it’s used to exercise control over people’s lives.

2·2 months agoCan you imagine being pulled over every time you fail to signal? A lot of times people don’t signal when they’re in a turn-only lane because it’s obvious they’re going to turn, but technically that can be used as an excuse to pull them over.
