It is when the play store is not the only store allowed on devices. Their play services, with this change, are again acting as a monopoly, and again will be again be sued by the eu for violating anti trust laws.

People that correctly recognize the state of the world are naturally antinatalist, if not misanthropic.

We took a world that produced practically infinite food for free and somehow invented credit scores while causing the single fastest mass extinction event in earth’s history.

Suspension exist, and if horses had built in suspension systems we wouldn’t have stopped using them.

Liberals appointed Hitler, liberals are currently fully supporting trump by approving all of his appointments (and many of his bills).

Liberals are the only people in history to bring fascists to power.

The two people arrested were freed after charges were dropped and the doh never spoke a word about it or made any additional arrests. Additionally no other country made arrests, despite it he ng alleged by the US doj and tabloids that this is a global phenomena.

Found the racist.

Given how anti china a lot of Dems are… I wouldn’t be so sure that 25% is just republicans. How many Dems fell for the ‘secret Chinese police stations capturing us citizens’ nonsense from a few years ago?

The source is the fucking article you’re commenting on, the one that explicitly states being homeless is a mental illness, being unable to procure food legally is a mental illness, and that all first responders, i.e. cops that are absolutely not trained to deal with mental illness, are the sole arbiters of who gets these holds now.

You’re as much of a freedom advocate as Ronald Reagan.

5150 holds are a minimum of 24 and have no maximum. Not ‘just’ 24 hours. You also have to prove the conditions that caused you to be admitted arent going to happen immediately, which is impossible if you’re homeless or were made homeless by your confinement.

To your escalated comment… No shit. That is actual reality and actually what happens. And has been happening. And will likely continue to happen. Even more than non medical prisoners, those forced into hospitalization have such a significantly higher incidence of being assaulted that it’s pretty much the same as explicitly damning them to it.

And to your third point, that’s my point. Its not just going to be used on the unsightly or dangerous, it is an indefinite hold where you have to prove a negative to get out of; one that has extremely low standards to apply, and one that is applied by people that objectively are not trained to make the determination.

More people are isolated from support systems than ever before in history, and the rapidly rising homeless population across the US is absolutely a counter to your narrative.

We do need systemic reform. We need housing first solutions to homelessness. Not forced ‘hospitalization’ for anyone too poor to live free and too useless to work for the state as a slave.

Forced hospitalization is, at best, the same as jail, at worst, worse than the worst jails in existence. Let’s see how you feel after sedatives and anti psychotics get forcibly put into your system you you statistically get sexually abused by an orderly, see how much unlike jail it is then.

To your second statement, absolutely no part of this proposal limits the action to indigent or houseless persons. If you can’t pay your rent on time you, objectively, cannot house yourself. Congrats, you’re now in a ‘hospital’ and have to prove you’re not crazy. Something that is famously difficult to do in the best situations as it’s proving a negative.

How this bill would be used is not some neoliberal fairy tale wherein only those you personally think should get help are forced to get help; this is yet another criminalization of homelessness that is written vaguely enough to apply to anyone on SNAP or at risk of eviction.

Its genuinely not. Its a practice of multiple ‘churches’ like scientologists and some sects of Mormonism.

Edit: For evidence see Leah remni’s multiple lawsuits podcasts books, etc. its a real tactic absolutely in use right now if you manage to piss off the wrong people.

Jail isn’t better, and this will be used to hunt the poor even more extensively, not just the homeless. A day late on your rent and keep your apartment messy? Congrats, you get a nice vacation under this proposal.

Wildfires? Seems more like the barbarians set the fire themselves to get attention. Its God’s will then if they spread and really shouldn’t be fought. Heck I’m pretty sure Hamas should shoot any un backed aid destined for Israel because it’s clear they brought this on themselves and are too dangerous to have aid. Really they can just get themselves out of this situation by just burning to death so why are they even complaining?

The literal living deification of Washington guaranteed that would happen, though, so its not exactly surprising they developed a sacred text along side their new god.

No you dont understand, affecting 12% of exports representing a total of 8% of their gdp will totally bring down chayna and make them pay for illegally seducing capitalists into removing manufacturing from the US in search of destroying socialism. It’ll be the end of chaaiiiina this time.

That’s the same as all voting systems currently implemented around the world.

So they needed to fix it in the 1700s? The US has always been an authoritarian shit hole that replaced divine right with capital right. The whiskey rebellion is proof none of the founding fathers gave a singular shit about democracy or freedom.

He’s a billionaire, and he’s a normal billionaire at that. Investing is literally the only thing they do.

They genuinely aren’t, Muerza in South Africa and a variety of other local brands across Africa and Asia have cheap cars.

China cuts it down further by completely subsidizing education and opening vocational schools near factories that specialize in what those factory owners need, allowing hyper specialization. When you have an entire neighborhood able to produce all the parts of a car, instead of importing parts from across the world and assembling it like us car manufacturers do, you’re able to massively cut costs.

All manufacturing in china takes this approach of having almost enclaves of specialized knowledge and factories, and is genuinely an engineers wet dream to work in since you can get any part you could possibly want the same day, even if you just designed the part yesterday.
