He’ll never have the time to reflect.

He’d need the ability to first.

To state the obvious, this is an intimidation tactic. They don’t even have to do anything with the footage. Just the fear that they might could be enough to deter future protestors. This is important. Because when we lose our fear, they lose their power.

Slaps!

Meanwhile, our rail system is so slow in most of the US that it’s quicker to drive. Not to mention you can’t get around your destination in 99% of cities without a car.

Yeah, I reported that shit.

I’m worried about this as well. Once the pressure is off, they can do whatever they want.

I couldn’t find a Telegram channel for UCLA specifically, but this may help: https://t.me/PopularUniversity/445

What has led to “the relative decline in U.S. standing,” as the report asks? The opening chapter explains America’s problem starkly: “Its competitive position is threatened both from within (in terms of slowing productivity growth, an aging population, a polarized political system, and an increasingly corrupted information environment) and outside (in terms of a rising direct challenge from China and declining deference to U.S. power from dozens of developing nations).”

This decline is “accelerating,” warns the study. …

What causes national decline? The Rand authors cite triggers that are all too familiar in 2024. “Addiction to luxury and decadence,” “failure to keep pace with … technological demands,” “ossified” bureaucracy, “loss of civic virtue,” “military overstretch,” “self-interested and warring elites,” “unsustainable environmental practices.” Does that sound like any country you know?

The challenge is “anticipatory national renewal,” argue the authors — in other words, tackling the problems before they tackle us. Their survey of historical and sociological literature identifies essential tools for renewal, such as recognizing the problem; adopting a problem-solving attitude rather than an ideological one; having good governance structures; and, perhaps most elusive, maintaining “elite commitment to the common good.”

No chance in hell on that last one, so here’s hoping the rest of their analysis is right.

This sounds like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Which of course the US has done and will continue to do, but wouldn’t Big Tech suffer from taking it this far?

Lenin with a fan!

Labor saving devices are a good thing in socialism!

But at what cost? No seriously, we need this everywhere.

It’s not the final battle, but a very important step along the way.

It’s cliche, but often people are moved more by anecdotes than facts or theories. A good video or even pictures showing isn’treal’s impact on a single Palestinian family could go a long way.

Just spreading the wealth!

I think this is the key bit:

After covering its day-to-day operating expenses, the central bank is required to send the money it earns on its securities portfolio to the Treasury, where the revenue helps offset federal deficits.

Um, don’t do anything that would get you in prison. But do what you need to take care of yourself. Do you have anyone or any resources you can rely on?
