What if companies had to pay for the problems their carbon emissions cause? Their profits would plunge, according to new estimates, possibly wiping out trillions in financial gains....
Well, if it were extrajudicial I would agree. Leopards ate her face. But this is our country’s judicial system. It isn’t wholly owned by the far right (though it’s wildly close).
Exactly, a significant portion of people aren’t able to argue about this in good faith and need to be walked through this long list of deep ethics questions in order to sorta meet the right answer.
Could you buy a used corporate SFF off of ebay instead of building a new rig? Maybe an optiplex, Dell 12-core, Thinkcenter, or some sort of multi-core mini micro? You could even buy 4-cores but cluster 3 of them together to make 12. That’s Docker’s best use case, mobilizing your VMs across a cluster of machines. I’m not sure what you need but this is a lot of power and cost. You could start really really small with an Unraid and Plex server to dip your toes in, and then you’d have an idea about hardware and expanding your power incrimentally.
A recent USA Today/Suffolk University poll found that 80 percent of voters oppose a federal abortion ban, including 65 percent of Republicans. And what’s more, their base knows that’s exactly what their party is trying to do. Another poll from Navigator found that a majority of voters also “believe it is likely that...
I love this. We finally have a wedge issue. And Biden’s PAC just keeps pushing it. Put this in front of Repiblican voters, and some of them are gonna notice conservative politicians to be the power hungry, evil control freaks that we see them as.
Socialism is the abolition of social classes. Regulating capital is usually called Social Democracy, or Marxism. Honestly, sieze the means of production.
Well I could do that job, too. But I won’t be allowed. Because I couldn’t go to the right school. Because I wasn’t born to rich parents. Because I’m working class, and they are owner class.
I’m trying to point out that these fuckers are a different class above us. They’re filthy rich and they own us, that’s why they get paid hundreds of times more than us - they didn’t earn it. That’s just life.
The owner class doesn’t work the way we do. They go to private school from birth, their grades can be guaranteed or cheated. Their acceptance into schools is often a matter of being a Heritage admission and then paying full price or more for it.
We work for half the opportunities that are handed to them.
"The forced overtime – we are working to death. We are working 12-hour shifts, seven days a week, every day, week after week, month after month, year after year.

Biden defeated Trump by nearly 8m votes in 2020, a substantial if not overwhelming margin of victory. Matters were very different in the electoral college. A combined total of 44,000 votes handed Biden victory in the swing states of Arizona, Wisconsin and Georgia....
I agree with the sentiment that this system is undemocratic. The electoral college in its current form is enpowering the ‘undecided’ voter in swing states to decide the election in the final hour. I disagree with the sentiment that a popular vote would simply disenfranchise conservative voters. See how other countries cope with direct voting and a higher level of democracy - more parties, coalitions, direct ballot initiatives, increase in amount of local representation.
