...both chambers will need to negotiate a compromise...

A fine idea saddled by the sad, sad realities of lousy internet for the vast majority of their intended audience. At some point, the major publishers and tech platforms need to gang up and lobby incumbent, sloth ISPs like AT&T and Comcast into submission. Because there’s literally no other way to get them to do…

NASA might be ‘saving’ over a billion dollars a year by stepping away from ISS, but it’s money it will never be able to use for anything else. Congress will simply move that money from NASA’s budget to some other agency’s budget. Because the only thing both parties seem to agree on is stripping funding from NASA. I…

Inequality is the leading cause of death for nations and empires. The next runner up is so far behind, if it were a race, inequality would have *lapped* it.

Sure but are weapons still made of wet tissue paper? Because I’ve had enough of that bullshit.

Pharmaceutical corporations — killing in the name of...

We already know how this is going to go -- the profits must flow. Literally nothing else matters to the movers, shakers, and decision makers.

Say it with me now — inequality is toxic to society; it always has been and always will be.

The only way to accomplish fixing the US’s broken political system, and really all political systems, is to strip ‘wealth’ of its power, literal and metaphorical. And since there are millions of very wealthy, very greedy people and literal armies of sycophants who will gladly follow them to the grave, that will be a…

Spreading Palin around is bad enough. Covid-19 -- any variant -- is more like icing on the crappy-meal cookie.

There are lots of converging technologies that have the potential to make something like this absolutely amazing. This, however, is definitely *NONE* of those things.

Well, throw another log on the “We’re fucked” fire. Because we’re fucked. FREEDUMBS!!

While you’re not wrong that there are people on both sides attacking unions at the behest of the ultra-wealthy corporate owners, the overwhelming majority of those attacks are being done by Republicans. So yes, on a technicality. But only if you don’t look at the full picture. Like saying the fascist crazies aren’t…

Remember when businesses taking actions against unions or unionizing efforts was legally actionable, when the DOJ went after businesses which tried to undermine or attack unions or unionization efforts? I do. Anyone else notice the deterioration of labor relations with businesses in the US that just happens to be in…

So...you’re saying Truth can’t handle the truth??

It is indeed an interesting hypocrisy to hear people call themselves ‘patriots’ and then bend of backwards in praise of some corrupt foreign superpower once money gets involved.

You know, for the people who AT&T has agreed with other providers to offer their service to...and no one else.

Yeah, there’s that, too. But you give that a *PROFIT* motive, and things achieve a whole new level of inhumanity.

It’s the for-profit prison mill system — prisoners who better themselves are less likely to return to prison, which reduces prison populations (for-profit prisons generate their profits off of prison population numbers) and reduces the number of inmates available for incarcerated labor (also where for-profit prisons…

There’s probably more than a grain of truth to that. Getting paid to just *look* like you’re doing stuff is certainly a lot easier than actually *DOING* anything. And, of course, all the rich-people shmoozing they do for personal gains would be negatively impacted by not bending over backwards to satisfying the…
