Who said it wasn't? It's literally defined and authorized in the constitution and has it's management team appointed by the president, who can also fire them if they perform poorly. It also requires congressional approval for things like stamp tax increases (the price of stamps are exactly that, a stamp tax).

It's always been a government function, just a mostly independent one.

Looks like poo water.

My local recycler explicitly prohibits giving them glass.

So the factory is going to be owned entirely by the workers? I didn't see that in the article.

Oh, you don't know what socialism is. Got it.

Not exactly. The "top moderators" who attempted to sell the rights and were subsequently removed were log inactive after the sub's creator was removed for trying to monetize the sub previously, and only showed up when they smelled money potential. These top mods that showed back up also happened to be friends with the founder of the sub, basically just lying in wait for the next chance to monetize. The active WSB mods should have petitioned to have them purged a long time ago but they didn't.

One super active mod was caught up in it, and reddit removed him as well due to some of his comments in the whole mess (I haven't seen them, but I suspect that's where the death threats part came in to play), but he was one of the ones fighting against trying to monetize the sub

I really hope this is satire, because Russia is extremely oppressive, has no right to free speech or privacy, and hasn't had legitimate elections in over 15 years.

They allow things like Parler there because Parler makes democracy look bad, and that's been a core goal of Putin since taking office.

I hope we don't get to a point where we as a country ignore when leaders try to cause a violent overthrow of the government to stay in power, as happened Jan 6th.

If we don't punish for this, then we can expect it to be done every election. There must be consequences.

The Monday after the DST change in spring sees 3x higher heart attacks and 2x higher traffic fatalities. It's the single most deadly day on the calendar.

The fall change doesn't have a reduction in this increase by a statistically notable amount.

Ending DST is the only logical conclusion, if you value life in the least.

Yes, people really do care about it, because it can help identify where money is coming from for the people expected to lead us.

We know without a doubt he over-inflates his net worth, and has done so for decades and has proven to do so in court. The over-inflated net worth isn't the concern. The concern is him claiming he's not being paid by Russia, despite Trump Jr literally admitting that the family is being paid by them on TV.

The concern is knowing who owns our politicians, and Trump is fully owned by foreign dictators. The senate even released a report very recently confirming as much.

Pretty close. Several had their passwords picked up in one of the breaches

It's been economically feasible to do it since the 50's, but it was less profitable than just destroying the environment so we haven't. We're close to a point of no return outside of the tree issue, and showing no efforts to fix the problems it'll cause. When it hits, it'll be too late to start caring. We're also already seeing signs of it. It's called Climate Change, and we're going to suffer because of it

This is entirely false. At one point the area that makes up the United States was 90% tree coverage, and that was less than 250 years ago, well within civilization. It's now less than 15%. The rain forests are almost gone. They also were destroyed in that same 250 year window.

We're suffering from what is unfettered greed and capitalism, and there's a lot of blood not yet paid to keep capitalism working, since capitalism runs on blood, and blood alone.

Tagging deliberate misinformation from influential people with fact checks is something social media should do. If the right would start being honest, instead of relying on lying constantly then maybe they wouldn't have to fact check them.

Frankly, Trump should have started having fact checks included with his tweets back when he created the birther lie. If a Democrat lied like he does on twitter, they'd have been banned by lunch time, yet he's been allowed to spread the most heinous lies, anti American comments and actual terrorist propaganda for a decade without even so much as a critical eye on him.

If he was any regular person and not a "wealthy" republican, he'd have been referred to the FBI as a terrorist leader.

But then, if he was any regular person, he'd also have been imprisoned for money laundering the 3 times he was convicted of it.

Enough that he's currently modded positive. Hopefully people with actual humanity also have mod points.

I'd tell you to keep your neo nazi crap to stormfront, but it was shut down ages ago. Either way, quit being a racist asshole

They modified bacteria to make gelatin a few years back.

I don't know if it produces CO2 to do it, or what inputs it needs.
