Yeah but in this case they weren’t actually trying to starve the beast. They just really suck that much at governance.

Absolutely no due diligence by any of those investors either.

Smart move.

Attack the money that actually runs this country and they might get their dog to heel.

A spokesperson for Google said: "We disagree with the verdict and plan to appeal. This case misunderstands YouTube, which is a responsibly built streaming platform, not a social media site.

Being a streaming platform doesn’t preclude it from also being a social media site. This is a bullshit deflection.

They have user registration and profiles, publication of user generated content, and interaction with that content through comments, likes, following and subscribing. Sure sounds like social media to me.

This is what we get when we allow regulatory capture.

Gotta get that both sides in there.

Is this the new Astroturfed counter argument? The USA Is big? Jesus we’re fucked.

Part of me tries to rationalize the current state of the world as a last gasp by those who know we’re all doomed and can’t change anything. The elite and powerful. And instead of trying to fix anything, they’ve all decided they’re gonna go balls to the wall before it’s all fucked beyond repair.

It’s not religion that makes people stupid. Plenty of religious people aren’t anti-vax.

Plenty of atheists are also stupid. Stupid people are everywhere, don’t limit them to one group.

My friend got shot in the inner upper thigh with a rubber bullet by ICE in Minneapolis. I have no doubt they were intentionally aiming for his genitals. Left a gnarly bruise that encompassed his whole inner leg down to right above his knee.

Of course the piece of shit landlord gave permission.

Tesla paid less taxes than me. And you.

Currently? They do everything in their power to make sure companies can poison us with complete abandon.

Wasn’t always this aggressive though.

You’re welcome to not have guns. No one is forcing you to defend yourself. You can fight ICE with your bare hands if you want.

But maybe don’t shit on others for wanting to be pragmatic.

So you plan to just take the abuse and the loss of your liberties and freedoms?

I’ll stick to my guns.

Little late there.

Gotta make sure the gestapo can afford to kill us.

Damn. They should have really lynched him.

He’s gonna make an excuse whether you give him one or not. Stop sitting on your hands.

Wtf kinda answer is this? Trump already invaded Venezuela, kidnapped the president, and no one did anything. Lindsay Graham couldn’t stop drooling over that oil.
