As their bosses, We, The People just can’t afford these congress members anymore.
We can’t afford to pay their salaries, healthcare, housing allowances and food allowances.
We're going to have to let most of them go.
Mitch McConnell’s return is a good reminder of a few things:
Modern medicine is miraculous for those who can afford it.
Mitch was able to take months off work, fully paid, with no worries about losing his job or his house.
During his many, many years in Congress, Mitch has actively worked to prevent regular people from getting the kind of benefits he enjoys as a public servant.
We desperately need term limits.
Mitch McConnell disappeared for 3 months & kept his full salary
Disabled people are forced to prove they’re “still disabled” to remain in legislated poverty
Folks on SNAP must re-apply and prove they’re “still poor”
Republican Senators don’t even have to prove they’re alive
America has 5,427 data centers.
China has 513.
China has roughly 5× the population.
There is no “AI race” in any meaningful material sense. There is a U.S. infrastructure blitz dressed up as geopolitical destiny.
Fuck the propaganda.
LG has finally responded after being accused that their smart TVs are secretly recording users.
The company of course says its not true and the TVs dont secretly record conversations, the voice features only process audio when the user activates them with the voice button or a “word”
LG also says that network scanning is a normal smart-TV function used to discover near devices and enable some features.
But the problem is that LG’s own privacy policy confirms that its services can process information such as audio, IP addresses, network environment data and voice recordings in “certain circumstances” so yeah they are probably recording everyone and using it to sell your data or training AI
LG TV spygate is far worse than a simple data grab. Independent researchers confirmed these machines capture clear microphone audio while the screen appears completely powered down in standby.
EVEN WHEN PHYSICALLY DISCONNECTED FROM THE INTERNET, the television stores voice recordings locally on its internal drive.
Ambient room audio is converted into plain text logs, stockpiled, and immediately uploaded the second a network connection is restored.
Furthermore, the system actively sweeps the local network, mapping every phone, laptop, and smartwatch in the vicinity to build a comprehensive surveillance profile of the household. It is not just a screen. It is an active surveillance node planted right in the living room.
@CyrilCador1@David_da_bozz I like Johnny Depp but I agree with you. All I could see was Albino Depp - not the character. Kept throwing me out of the movie.
@JoeMerrick LOL This game keeps getting worse. I spent nearly nothing during the Armored Mewtwo event and suspect I’ll spend way less in the coming months. Scopley has no understanding of their game or player base. They just want our data.
🚨 BREAKING:
Buttigieg: "In a country that amended its Constitution so you couldn't buy beer, then realized it was a bad idea and amended it again, surely we can pass an amendment saying corporations aren't people and money isn't speech."
@BrookerDOC@Trashandler48@leemarh7099 Betraying friends was evil enough. But he went to them the week before to spend time with them because he knew what was coming… evil.
@Trashandler48@leemarh7099 But we know that wasn’t true. Lockhart did evil things for greed and was a Ravenclaw. Peter Pettigrew WAS evil and in Gryffindor. The narrative is just a kid’s perspective.
@TheGhostReport No one’s posting videos of sagging balls and back hair to humble OP. Men age too.
These women have aged gracefully and many of them are incredibly witty and intelligent. Men and women both age. Choose for brains and compatibility, not beauty.
