Upvoted because I'm happy you're right. Biden will lose to the orange criminal if he doesn't stand up and stop money and weapons to Israel. America is fucked if it keeps supporting Israel.
Trump won without the popular vote. He won Michigan by ~10,000 votes in 2016. I'm not the one who decided this system, but this system doesn't give a shit about the majority. It doesn't take much to sway the balance.
The enshittification is very real and is spreading constantly. Companies will leech more from their employees and users until things start to break down. Acceleration is the only way.
Europeans view immigration with increasing suspicion.

Immigration is all about cheap labor. In the US there's a reason why so many seasonal workers come in illegally. It's because it's cheaper for the agricultural overlords and they make greater profits needing to pay undocumented workers less. Remember the money, it's always about the money.
The corporations want us to be xenophobic, they want us to hate "illegal aliens" for "stealing our jobs" because it allows them to continue to profit at record levels.
It is fueled by racism, that's what I wrote in my original comment, the agricultural overlords want us to be xenophobic. The wealthy don't want us to recognize the benefits of making temporary work visas easier to obtain because it would cost them more money.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal judge in Florida presiding over the classified documents prosecution of former President Donald Trump has canceled the May 20 trial date, postponing it indefinitely.
I agree, let's end subsidies for the industries that are fucking up the climate. Fuck all the weak snowflakes who don't want to change their meat consumption. How hard is it to not eat beef? Not hard, people are just weak. So hit them in the wallet then, if that's what it takes.
This isn't anything new, sulfur dioxide has been brought up time and time again, it's horseshit and doesn't solve the problem. We can geoengineer the climate by increasing algae/seaweed production significantly. It's like everyone forgets that algae/seaweed already sequesters the most carbon dioxide out of any carbon sink already. Spraying shit into the air isn't going to lower the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
He should have resigned and endorsed someone who shared the same platform. He's going to be 88 years old when he finishes his next term for fucks sake. We need term limits for congress ASAP (for both sides for whoever thinks this is a partisan issue, just don't bother).
Holy shit, read this title and genuinely thought it was The Onion. I had to read the sublemmy name like 3 times to realize this is Not The Onion. My fucking god what reality do we live in. We split from another universe some time in the 1970s and are living this shit show, LOL.
I'm just making sure everyone knows what the consequence is, whether I like it or not. It's Biden's job to do right by the people who voted for him no matter how bad the alternative may be.
Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don't come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don't really get upset by it...

Theres no such thing as a corporation without consumers, we are where the buck is created, and where the buck stops.
Absolutely correct, glad to have read your comment. People need to start realizing they play a role in what's to come. It's a terrible mentality to think we don't all have our effect on the future.
I would get them to end all subsidies for the beef industry if I could. Unfortunately I'm not in control of that, all I can do is bring up discussion, and I got you to comment, so I succeeded.
No, they don't. I used to smoke, nicotine is a fucking bitch of a drug, somehow I managed to quit using vaping and nicotine gum over 2 years. Beef is not an addictive chemical. You must never have experienced nicotine drug, what a naive ass comment to make.
AI and robotics are here, more people are seeing their futures stolen. If by "pretty much forever" you mean "about 5-10 years" then I agree. I said the system will break, I didn't say I see them changing course.
Absolutely, and the DEA is a fucking failure, we have an opioid epidemic and they've done absolutely nothing to help the US. Complete fucking bullshit agency that does NOTHING to help the American people.
Thankfully electric vehicles are becoming cheaper then ICE vehicles which is a very good sign that we don't need as many rare earth metals. Unfortunately for renewable technology we still need rare earth metals, and they need to be mined using fossil fuels first. That's the stage we're at right now. We still need to get much better at recycling which I believe we will.
Oh and anyone that says electric vehicles are worse for the environment than ICE vehicles are idiots and shills. ICE vehicles also rely on rare earth metals and produce significant air pollution.

I wonder if you're capable of experiencing the irony of writing that, or are just as stupid as you claim all humans to be. Are you stupid? Do you trust yourself to write things that make sense? Just asking based on your own generalized claim. Unless of course you are a bot, then this comment is a waste of time.

Doesn't sound insane to me, sounds like a perfect example of the state of the US healthcare system. I stopped paying for healthcare 2 years ago, best decision I ever made.
