@AuronMacintyre Heavily regulated industries aren't really capitalist. The US is blended economy, it is not purely capitalist.
For TVs specially, yes we are for all intents purely capitalist. For medical? Not even close. But there are good reasons for medical regs, cost isn't one of them
@RueKat123@TheRabbitHole@SenSchumer This notion that DHS having access to voter rolls will keep legal voters from voting is nearly as dumbassed as the notion minorities can't get an ID.
@BlindSpotsMag@avidseries Sure but claims that prove false are often used to demean people, used in high stakes politics. When it turns out to be wrong, what recourse do the offended parties who were ridiculed as fools gave for the crime of being right?
They naturally want to point that out.
@ReasonRises@DefiantLs Those numbers can't be real. Walz was very clear his admin is super tough on fraud, that he is super serious and stuff. This notion that he and his staff are wildly incompetent gonards is absolutely false and he's confirmed as much.
@DrInsensitive The only way to truly "simplify" the code most Americans is to move away from income tax and replace with other alternatives. That is a massive undertaking and we just don't have a political environment where anything like that is possible.
@IngrahamAngle Either way it is accidental, regrettable, and collateral is sadly always a part of war. They've dropped 5000+ bombs it is just not possible to not make some mistakes. Especially if the space was transformed to elementary recently, not all Intel is up the the minute.
@billd1085676@alexshams_ A warship is a valid target if anything is.
Nuclear submarines are not really valid vess ls by which to rescue a large number of enemy combatants, some of whom have sidearms. For one, the sub would need expose itself. Two, it has smallish crew, almost no firearms, no boats.
@DrexlSpivey18@MasinElije@mermaidtaille Odd how they complain files not releasing fast enough after spending 4 years of Biden hoarding it all. Like they are pretending they haven't spent the entire time covering up until it was clear the files were going out.
@sunnyright I mean regardless of opinions of wars and good guys and bad guys, it is impossible imo to view this thing 6 days in as Iran doing amazing.
They had a 15th ranked military, i.e. considered a very good one on par with Brazil, Israel. They are faring more poorly than expected.
@CraigMurrayOrg Subs aren't designed to scoop up hundreds of people. They don't have rescue boats they can deploy. I mean you do have a general idea what a nuclear sub looks like, right? Have you ever heard of a nuclear sub of any nation doing a sea rescue?
This is a weird take.
@GabeZZOZZ What? They lost their supreme leader in the first minute and are just dumping their arsenal. They've killed 6 Americans, one for every 8 top leaders they've lost.
Some of their targets have no tactical advantage and only diminish with other nations potential sympathies.
@ItsGoneAwry Can you explain the difference between an offensive munition, in the context of bombing Iran, from a defensive munition? I am just curious if you even think you know what you are talking about.
