They don’t “think” in general. Abstract concepts and long-term consequences do not trouble their minds.

Weird how that account and the IndustryStandard account woke up at the same time deploying similar messaging.

Did a ban end?

Data analysts, medical researchers, astrophysicists - gone. You’ll work in a factory making plastic toys.

no reproduction would be held by a museum, and museums would hold even “low” quality artifacts that represented a significant aspect of creativity or innovation, so that’s weird wording.

But, it’s going to be oil paint on a canvas instead of a digital print. The work being reproduced is probably not covered by copyright.

sure you can do that but how will you shelter and feed yourself?

Clearly, meeting in the middle at $500,000,000.50 is the right price

This reply looks like some “get discouraged and angry” bullshit right here. Of course repeating the targeted message of the month about Democrats. And a wild falsehood about the homeless rate in the US.

you can’t distinguish any differences in policy or values between republicans and democrats? Nothing that furthers labor, climate, consumer, or justice/equity goals?

if the executive and agencies that are tasked with enforcing “the law” (vs the executive’s instructions) ignore judicial rulings, it’s kind of a moot point. Republicans and right-wing media have spent 30 years rotting out the conceptual foundations of “ethics”, “integrity”, and “values” to the point that the only qualification for leadership positions is fealty to Trump. The people they are hiring reject principles or integrity, to achieve power.

Regardless, The historical norm is that judges who have a stake in a case recuse themselves, but we know the game has changed. It seems unlikely an EO would target a named individual, and it can’t direct the judiciary or create new law or crimes……

At some point, we may be down to the level of the guy executing the arrest warrant or holding the keys to the jail cell or cutting the power lines to the courthouse being cognizant and responsible to their oath before their orders.

If that seems hopeless - start communicating ideas about loyalty to founding principles, the constitution, the laws, and the people. Enforce traditional and shared values rather than arguing and causing people to entrench into factions. It’s time to act, get that shit out there rather than reposting news articles or battling trolls

Connect people back to value systems instead of aggressively debating specific issues.

For example, when we think about Jesus Christ’s teachings, why are we erasing the nation’s historical decision to help the poor, sick, and hungry - an action executed by the most greedy, vain, and boastful people on earth?

if you do that, the risk is that you miss out on buying at low share prices during the slump, which will be the lots that show the highest return when the market heads back toward normal.

The periods of fastest gains are usually immediately following a downturn, so selling your holdings when you hear bad news about the stock market going down, is exactly the wrong thing to do.

If you believe that The Trump administration policies represent a foundational destabilization of the American economy, which is a reasonable take, you might make the choice to diversify into more international funds.

That’s its uninitialized position, I believe

Can you briefly describe how you’d fit the two together?

I always wonder about the people who describe calling out Russia’s dirty tricks and non-stop toxic behavior as “Russophobia”

You haven’t really thought through this have you

Guessing you’re behind one of those <1%ers like Jill Stein?

This seems to be the next “talking point” after “genocide joe” - somehow Trump’s actions are the democrat’s fault!

Don’t fall for it. We need to unite and support the one viable alternative to Republican power expansion, not quibble and bicker over “leftist” vs “progressive” vs “liberal” vs “centrist” and how the Democrats aren’t pure or perfect enough.

living in a city with a lot of housing demand, people definitely don’t all want a single-family house. The big push is for zoning changes that allow higher density development: townhomes and small multifamily construction on what were single family lots with setbacks, accessory dwelling units, mixed use apartment buildings with less parking, etc.
