They’re like teens who think they can live on their own but have never had a job or had to pay bills. They sit around creating a big mess, spending their parent’s money with their friends, and create a big fuss whenever they are asked to do something useful to help around the house.

The current batch of republicans have never actually had to do the work of governing. They just keep making a mess of everything, piss away money with their rich friends, and throw a hissy fit when actually asked to do actual work of governing.

News: Sen. Elizabeth Warren wants to build a new agency to police Big Tech ( www.theverge.com )

The bill, sponsored by Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), would create a new agency called the Digital Consumer Protection Commission that would be empowered to go after giant tech firms for a slew of anti-competitive behaviors and failing to protect consumer privacy.

Pointless unless:

The agency has authority

The agency can enforce that authority

The agency can levy fines and other deterrents significant enough to make tech companies fear #1 and #2.

Otherwise it’s just another agency that will face regulatory capture and dole out slaps on the wrist that Big Tech can effectively ignore.

Some people literally would prefer to see the world burn. No idea what’s up with that form of psychological gratification from destruction, but fuck them.

Very much the truth. I cautiously suggested that people leave their content up simply as an archive of useful knowledge, but fbfw was downvoted to oblivion. I understand people wanting to depart and take their ball home with them because fuck you spez, but I still have a hard time with the destruction of the knowledge base.

Literally just tried to open it 10 minutes ago. Goodbye, Apollo. Thanks for the great app, Christian, and for dispelling all the BS that /spez tried to spew.
