It’s no accident that fascism is increasing as the wealth gap is increasing, and more and more people are being pushed from the middle class and into poverty.

The Paradox of Tolerance:

“In a free society, tolerance is a virtue, but it cannot be unlimited. If we are tolerant of intolerance, the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.”

I think the real reason Google is funding Firefox is because they’re afraid of being targeted in antitrust lawsuits. As long as Firefox is around, they have someone they can point to, to say they’re not a monopoly.

Do you think Big Pharma wants a cure for cancer? Me neither. That might be the real reason it was voted down.

I think the non-native US population has some unique characteristics due to having been settled by immigrants. No matter how desperate the situation was back home, you still have to be a certain kind of person to leave behind most or all of the poeople you knew, and set out across the ocean. On the positivie side, I think this makes for a resilient and adaptible population. But I think it also makes for a population that is self-centered and lacks empathy for those worse off.

We can probably thank Lina Khan, chair of FTC for this. It’s amazing to finally have someone back in the FTC that cares about protecting consumers.

If cats could talk, they wouldn’t be cats. So it’s not really possible to answer this question :)

Full Self Demolition

Biden COULD have just not said anything on this one. Instead he doubles down on his support for the genocidal maniac, Netanyahu, that is dragging him down in the polls.

Cruel and unusual punishment.

Amazing how bad those panels look after what, a few months?

In this case the screw was at the bottom of a narrow slot, and they only found it after breaking things.

You lost me on the seatbelt thing. What’s going on there?
