can't wait for the "work from home tax".

where is the uptime ?

What we need is for them to have to carry personally paid malpractice insurance that is tied to their access to qualified immunity.

And if their camera is off they lose their insurance policy. Then no more access to qualified immunity.

Being police is a luxury not a right.

I know that some container ships are using sails once again to help with fuel costs.

It would be a neat triple play to have the sails be solar panels and the batteries, too.

Does anyone think that music company executives (the boss's boss) have ever paid money for mp3s, cds, tapes, 8-tracks, and vinyl ?

and we have found the genesis of corruption.

The discovery of Ötzi didn't lead contemporary humans to believe something like that.

On the other side of this point: getting paid for work is a lot better than not getting paid to work.

Or the leaders of these "shops" have a variety of national politicians as clients.

Are you saying that a virus population has a conscience or morality ?

I can imagine that a single nucleotide polymorphism doesn't care about what seems natural.

"The process for a subpoena takes forever"

No, it doesn't. And that "forever" are human rights that are established and should require a subpoena to contest.

I care. I care that we look past the end of our nose for public health to give the Saulks of the world a chance and let the billionaires grab some fucking pine.

This reads like big co marketspeak of "go suck eggs twice"

as a mediocre programmer who is now old let me tell you that you still do not need me.

I read this out loud last summer on my porch.

It was joy. My neighbors still look at me funny, though.

Never ask the drivers about unionizing. I'm not saying that they will report it to their boss who will mess with your orders and deliveries.

But I am also not not saying that.

Compensation goes a long way to making customer service agents care. So does equity.

" if ads were needed for monetization,"

It is a solution to monetization. It is not the only solution. Lack of economic development has been because of the addictive nature of fascist behavior.

Non-personalized vs personalized is not the question for me; companies might still collect the same data from my "experience" habits.

If they are going to do that I want more profit from it than a custom news page.

Like I want money from the company leveraging my identity for the company's bottom line. I want some of that money if you are going to get a simulacra of me in a fucking database.

And until we get there we are stuck with a few rich lawless men keeping me for themselves.

The country has elected a fraudster involved with organized crime whose response to power has been to envy authoritarians.

And that is the current US Federal leadership. Every other federal agency is going to follow suit. Then the congressional departments will do the same to try and maintain hegemony.

The Federal US is not just fucked ... the US Federal is actively fucking every nation state that the US Federal can fuck as a triumph of criminality.

This is also including US state & municipal governments.

If there was ever a time for a coalition of forces to invade the US it would be with this president. Trump would give up Alaska to Putin in a trade to stay in power.

Seems like that means of productions being shuttered to protect humans might have a bigger play on that.

Materially in 2010 twitter was not the bullhorn of a political dictator.

Twitter requires phone numbers.

I wonder if the millions of US Americans whose stimulus checks got "lost" are somehow correlated to people that have criticized Trump on twitter.

"Exploiting the rich"

I don't even understand how that works.

I thought this was proto-union-busting.

yeah like i want the only thing that has stayed with me my whole life to leave.

reverb.com is a great option for music related equipment.

"hardcore jerk" is someone that isn't interested in the bottom line of some capitalist while seeking one's happiness.

It has always seemed weird to me to pay someone yearly to write software for their OS.

Having to pay for the tools that ban you reminds me of a digital (urban legend?) "bullet fee" like that Mao supposedly levied to the families of executed prisoners.

Does Duck Duck Go use google ?
