    Ahh the free market. Free from people voting with their wallets as we will now force people to buy ads on twitter, purchase Teslas, and purchase anything that we disagree with now I guess.

      They can try but as long as people are able to withdraw funds / sell investments, they will move their money to a market that allows them to invest in what they want.

      In other words this would only hurt the markets they try to control.

    How do people get around paywalls nowadays? 12ft ladder appears to be down.

    I was hoping to find out what “goes after” entails. Like are they not going to allow people who own stocks to vote to do less damage to the environment? Punish companies that try to be ethical with their products?

    Future generations are going to look back on us and giggle at how fucking stupid all this is.

    They’re really going to have to go to school and learn about how the fascist bigots took over the US and cried about everything being “woke”.

    This is the legacy we are leaving behind. It is so stupid I just want to hang my head and weep.
