  • “When you have fear and you stop going to the doctor, then in the future there are important consequences” of missing prenatal care, Bustamante says. “Your children are more likely to suffer, for example, low birth weight, and this will ultimately have lifetime consequences.”

    This is the crux of it for me. All of this is to punish and be cruel to brown people. The same so-called Christian principle following fascists who rail on and on about abortion and babies are 100% on board be cruel to adults, which leads to the pain and death of babies.

    Conservatives don’t care about babies, only about getting to be legally racist. The slavers never gave up, they’re just wearing elephant pins now.



  • The law field is already facing this. They took on many specialized tools to replace clerks and people hired to search case law. The people normally hired to do that work were the future lawyers hired by those very firms. The total pool of candidates to hire from shrunk and now they’re having to fight over the reduced quality of candidates to keep many of the firms afloat.

    Fewer trainees == fewer qualified hires in the future (duh).

    It’s back to a Tragedy of the Commons all over again. With all firms hiring and training lots of young lawyers, there were plenty of people to hire in the future. Then, each firm stopped training as many themselves to save money and get a personal advantage, which leads to a smaller future pool to work with for everyone. Rinse, wash, repeat across the industry and now there’s a crisis.









  • I don’t feel this push for locking us out of control over our own systems under the cover of “protecting the children with age verification” is anything more than a continued effort to secure a DRM-based hardware system for the MSFT OS and media companies. This smells just like their pushes in the past to steal control over hardware through legal channels. It’s the same war we’ve been fighting for 30 years now.

    Read up on the Clipper Chip from the 90’s. What’s old is new again.



  • When we had flagpoles we had a pile of flags to fly. I’d get most of them on AliExpress for cheap.

    Universities, states, cities, vikings, pirates, scifi, pride, peace, extinction rebellion, etc. I love flying something for larks more than anything else. Fly what you feel, it’s your flagpole.
