@DHSgov The taxpayer pays for every calorie here. Every joule of energy and every gram of mass. It is all given generously. Some would even say too generously, based on comments I see here.
@brivael The media has no interest in the Nowak story. I'm a NYT subscriber and I checked last night. One brief article. Buried. Soon to be forgotten, they hope. But many won't forget or, I suspect, forgive.
@Sargon_of_Akkad It isn't even that. It is almost entirely about feeling good personally. The feeling you'd normally get from religion, giving a dollar to the donation plate, is just transplanted into this new form. A practical, realistic, goal-oriented environmentalism would look very different
@Sargon_of_Akkad You can have political cartoons without caricature you know. To be honest, most "caricature" is just lazy. Like "I am the Chad and you are the soyjack" memes. It can be funny. It can be. But its often just lazy.
@cremieuxrecueil If only. The US gets a lot of flak for jailing people, but we've never really tried to just arrest our way out of the crime problem. Not really. The trick is to scale up containment of the criminal population without it becoming prohibitively expensive.
@boreskes@RepJoeMorelle New England in general is already pretty thoroughly gerrymandered. The states vote something like 40% Republican in the general but have zero Republican representation. Squeezing blood from a stone at this point. Leaving aside the constitutional issues.
@reddit_lies It is pretty wild over there.
They all want him dead but also anyone trying to kill him is a totally faked conspiracy. They want all the social kharma of cheering on murder but none of the social stigma. Freakin' weird man.
@Not_the_Bee@nytimes There was SolarCity to be fair. Not "his" company, though. And xAI which, like all AI companies, burns through money like crazy. Not really "struggling" though.
@KirstenGrind@susannecraig Its not illegal though. Its sad that you're so proud of yourself for this.
Please do some real journalism, maybe find someone doing something actually illegal.
