@Itmustbetues@PeterMcCormack@TyKeynes Yes, there is an assumption by libertarians that the markets have educated and informed consumers. Which leads to the conclusion that consumers want profit-seeking corps and monopolies, that sustainability, stability and equality are not priorities to consumers.
@AwesomeSweetTea@RealHousewifeMi No, though the premise is clear. How about Islamic commandments displayed in public classrooms? Or mandated lessons in scripture from the Quran? All the dogmatic Abrahamic religions should serve no purpose in schools except to be studied academically, not as moral guidelines.
@AwesomeSweetTea@RealHousewifeMi TX classrooms in schools are required to display the 10 commandments. Republican legislators have passed a law to require study/lessons of biblical scripture in public schools.

@Butters09016449@thebellacissa@RussBrownTX In Texas right now, the 10 commandments must be displayed in all public school classrooms due to a Republican law. They also voted to phase in literal Bible study. How is this fighting for religious freedom? Is this not state enforced religiousity?

@Cindyknowsit2@sarahadams@FordFischer@FBIDirectorKash A disgruntled 16 year old was literally groomed for 2 years by the FBI to engage in this behavior and then they provided a weapon. Rather than getting him legitimate help, they created the threat just to thwart it. It is the definition of a psyop to propogandize rubes like you.
@billshajrozt@AudraTesluk@tomaskenn The vast majority of deportations have been non-violent offenders, regardless of your opinions and biases. That is a matter of fact.
@AudraTesluk@tomaskenn "Crimes." Disappearing a non-violent person into a hellhole prison system seems a bit harsh, but I'm not a vindictive demon so what do I know.
@Johnny153331@usuallycringe@DenethorChud We can see similar images in the rural US, yet the US govt has no plan or desire to help them, while China's does.
Yet, poverty still exists. Though the Chinese govt is doing major work, and has uplifted almost a billion people out of those conditions already.
@whatever_karen@LHWesteman@grok No, we probably we should not. My point is we also should not give the state executive such authority that cannot be checked by the legislative, nor voted on by the public. They still allow foreign investment and ownership, at their own discretion, without democratic approval.
@usuallycringe@DenethorChud You are deliberately missing the comparison or are obtuse: poor town in China gaining infrastructure and culture from the state, while poor towns in America are neglected by the state.
@whatever_karen@LHWesteman@grok Republicans are pro big govt and against separation of powers: SB 17 permits the governor & state agencies to unilaterally add countries to its prohibitive list, restricting land ownership by nationals of those countries w/o requiring legislative approval or public oversight.
@RenaissanceXMBT@POTUS This admin has cancelled over $8 billion in renewable energy projects as well, cheered on by many conservatives for cancelling "woke green energy." Their short-sighted stupidity will never cease to astound me.
