I think he used to care more. I’d also say he was never a good engineer, but he was better at learning what his top engineers were trying to show him and pushing through answers that made sense.

He’s since lost any of that touch with reality. The engineers he listened to said no too much. He found right-wing grifters that are now teaching him, and they say “no” a whole lot less than the engineers did.

Money out of politics. We need a constitutional amendment that money is not speech, and that it’s in the interest of the people to control how much influence money can buy.

Having a domain name and access to some kind of basic text and video hosting should be considered speech. (But that doesn’t need to be in an amendment.)

Corporations should be required to serve the public interest, even if that public interest is just providing a useful good or service. It should be made clear that persuing profit in a way that’s counter to the public interest (see Fallout) is illegal. (Note that prohibition under this would become an interesting discussion.)

I’m fine with disallowing people over X age to run for office. Term limits outside of the very highest office are generally a bad idea.

Clearly we need to patch some of our biggest vulnerabilities, the pardon process, the independence of the judicial branch, and the ability of the President to wage war without congressional approval.

Gerrymandering is a problem that needs to be addressed. Perhaps proportional representation should be encouraged here.

They can get paid through insider trading. Why do we need to pay them an honest salary?

Representatives shouldn’t make any money at all. We don’t need poor people trying to represent us.

I guess we can tax churches then.

Or the Russian regime. Or at this point the combination.

Would your country like to join the Internet borg?

There are absolutely reasons. Firefox is done by a reasonable job of anti-fingerprinting, and it’s a fine line to walk to disable as many of those indicators as possible without breaking sites.

Browsers do give away too much, but at least Firefox is working on it. And it’s not extremely straightforward.

Gabbard belongs to Putin. She’ll stay.

I think you missed the point, which is that I think the way to handle this was Obama’s treaty before Trump dismantled it because it was an Obama accomplishment.

While that’s true, it doesn’t really contribute to the conversation or the problem at hand.

Are you implying that because the US has nuclear weapons that you’d like Iran to have them too? Because that’s the only way I can relate this back.

30% of the American public voted for these grifting idiots, not just the president, but his enablers too. This slightly disproportionately affects rural areas. We should be getting off of gas and investing in green energy anyway.

I choose to laugh. It’s better than what the people of Iran got out of it.

Man, I wonder if a better president would have come up with some kind of treaty to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

He’s not that bright. They expect everything to work, or at least he does.

He gave the green energy sector to China because it’s “woke”.

Should be fine. They don’t have to use a browser to retrieve that feed.

the ads went away when the internet access did.

Then why are you mad?

It can be both.

8GB ram though.

He had enough evidence to state the conclusion clearly.

It’s obvious he wanted Congress to do that part, but he still needed to say it.

Even so, he did fight the good fight, and I’m not going to hate a man for a slight miscalculation of strategy that only became obvious with hindsight.
