My great grandfather was a door to door phone salesman for AT&T who went into foreclosure in the Great Depression and was banned from owning property because anything they owned would be seized. After WWII in Philadelphia there was an effort to literally ‘clear the books’ and get rid of old foreclosures. He went to city hall and they literally crossed his name off the list in front of him. That saved his and now my family. Public investment is a necessary and valuable part of creating a strong economy. The economic value that my great grandfather, then my grandfather, then my mom, and now me, have provided are far far beyond the cost of wiping out that $10,000 in debt in 1945. Cancelling student loan debt is an investment in the economy and I will not be convinced otherwise
@BarryGoodStocks@SnazzyLabs@Tesla@Rivian No hate towards you personally but I genuinely cannot fathom how you think no buttons is better than buttons. I abhor the idea of having to dick around on a screen to turn my heated seats on or change the temperature, when I can simply do it by feel in most older cars
@DelusionPosting That's correct. Owning a property title isn't real work, because you're not selling your labor.
Maintenance is work. Construction is work. Hell, property management is work.
That's why any property owner with the resources to do so will hire workers to labor for them.
Hot Take:
It should only be called "Full Self Driving" if the auto manufacturer takes *full responsibility* for the cars actions.
Everything up to that point is a "driving assistant."
@Tesla has been selling their $12,000 lie for 8 years now.
Texas has effectively banned abortion. They're trying to end no-fault divorce. Now they want a list of every adult in their state who watches porn.
Don't worry, I'm sure Christian Nationalism won't come back to bite you specifically. You're a good person.

DEBUNKING YUZU LAWSUIT MISINFORMATION 🧵
there's a lot of terrible information going around painting Nintendo as the good guys here, so I want to make a thread clearing up all the nonsense I've heard.
retweets appreciated!
@PC_Focus_ One funny thing that has come out of thisis that yuzu in its final build performs better than the switch on plenty of games. Nintendo waited until yuzu was a fully functional piece of software to destroy it
Nintendo does not deserve to survive this decade. hope they are forced to go the way of SEGA because their anti-preservation efforts are the reason that we will not be able to show future generations their games.
The endless wheel of capitalism will crush everything in its path
@halomancer1 it’s not using your identity, it’s living in a red state and being reasonably scared for what might happen to my trans friends that live here too.
@halomancer1 voting is about picking your enemy, not signing off on genocides, christ almighty. the gazan genocide isn't being stopped at the ballot box right now.
