No shit

Edit: Mamdani should run for president, he’s by far the most popular Democrat right now, and for good reason.

Edit 2: Darn, he legally can’t. Still, it would be great to have any actual leftist run. And charisma helps too.

How about we adapt by raising taxes on you assholes and funding social programs?

They weren’t already?

Maybe if more of “the economy” went into the pockets of consumers they’d have money to buy phones as often as they used to.

That’s the thing: They don’t care about this. They only care about issues that affect the wealthy. They care more about stopping policies that negatively affect the wealthy than about anything that would help the working class.

They have concepts of a plan.

Imagine if he waits for people to panic and sell off and then buys back into the market.

In this case, I expect that the market is due to tank for real soon, so that would maybe be a stupid move, but it seems like in general someone could literally trade on the perception that they’re an insider (regardless of whether they have real inside information or not) to manipulate the market in their favor.

Isn’t that the standard way titles are written?

To be fair, I probably couldn’t spell Louvre unless I was looking at it written out.

They’re wrong about that. It’s not a good excuse. It’s a bad excuse.

More like the illusion of what America claimed to be is gone. It’s never really been what it claimed to be, but the mask is fully off now because Trump is incapable of subtlety.

He is taking it further away from that ideal too, but the ideal has never been remotely close to real.

Continuing in Charlie’s legacy.

There may very well be a correlation, but the causation probably runs the other way if so. That is - autism may increase the use of painkiller use in pregnancy. Since all evidence points to autism being genetic.

Classic passive voice headline.

I’m not a lawyer, but from my understanding there’s actually no legal obligation for them to delete US citizens’ data. They generally delete it anyways to avoid creating backlash that would lead to regulation, though.

I don’t think that RFK Jr. is personally a fascist. He’s in league with fascists, which is the main reason why I am still heavily against the autism registry.

I think that RFK Jr. is extremely mentally ill and deluded. I think he is probably a true believer in what he says, it’s just that the stuff he believes is batshit insane (and can do a lot of damage because of that).

This whole situation just makes me laugh because in order to do eugenics with that database, RFK would have to believe that autism is genetic - which it is, but which he doesn’t believe.

I still don’t want the Trump administration to have an autism registry, but it’s such a farce that the guy who doesn’t believe autism is genetic is the guy doing it.

Honestly, I’d believe that they probably never fed them antibiotics on purpose, and that they were exposed to antibiotics via their food and/or water supply.

I blame that one on the physical design. Probably mandated by Musk. No one who knows about software would make the decision to require the use of software to be able to exit the car. :P

Due to budget cuts, “Get into Magic so you won’t have money for drugs.” has now become “Don’t worry about it, you won’t have money for drugs anyways. Or for housing, for that matter.”
