You're even more naive if you believe that nonsense. "bOtHsIdEs" is a dishonest argument that attempts to equate the rather "meh" Democrats with the democracy subverting dumpster fire of the modern Republican Party in an attempt to excuse the GOP of the abhorrent shit that they do. They are NOT the same.
Ole Nixon is down there in hell asking himself why the hell he resigned. In today's presidential administrations you have to resign if you're not corrupt enough.
Nixon didn't have a cult following him, nor did he have a complicit Congress letting him get away with his BS, and he also didn't have a SCOTUS that wants to let him get away with more BS. SCOTUS at least isn't rubberstamping all his activities, but they're done so on far too many cases.
7. Massively increased prices on practically everything due to tariffs and oil prices. Oops, that's not a good point on the economy now, is it?
Your list itemizes why the economy is doing great for the owner class, and has everything to do with why it's not doing great for those on the lower end of the scale.
you succesfully tried to gain grants and reach political goals while ruining the global economy
Hyperbole at it's finest. Compare the monetary amounts of those grants to the amount of money involved in the fossil fuel industry and you'll see an orders of magnitude difference. It is incredibly foolish to sacrifice the planet we live on for the sake of making money.
The harm you caused to life and civilization of Earth will not be forgotten.
The harm that your deliberate obtuseness and stubborn ignorance won't be forgotten either. But it's OK, you won't have to care because you'll be dead and gone before the shit really hits the fan. The planet may become uninhabitable, but your rotting corpse can rest easy that you didn't have to do anything.
Or it's simply financial motivation. Any steps taken will cost them money, and the problem is likely not going to really become a problem until after they are dead and gone. They'll be spending the money, but will personally get no ROI from it. Therefore, they choose to do nothing.
Why would they lament about the AI failing to train juniors? Isn't that who the AI would be best used to replace?
I take that back; the best people to replace would be the CxOs.
It's almost like Chesterton had a very good point.
Also largest defamation suit in history was Fox. Actual lying, with evidence they had to pay for
Yuuup. Honest news organizations don't settle defamation lawsuits by paying three-fourths of billion dollars.
Be that as it may, another truthful thing is that said billionaires don't care about you beyond how they can manipulate you. They do what they can to gaslight people into defending them, and in your case it appears to be successful. I hope you're happy being their useful idiot.
Just look at DOGE, Republicans have been trying to lay waste to the US government for decades, but Musk is the only one to actually do it. It was a complete disaster, but it wasn't ethics or common sense that stopped the previous attempts, that's a legit talent for Musk.
DOGE was a huge success.
For the stated goal of eliminating "fraud and waste" it was an abject failure.
For the actual goal of eliminating or neutering any government entity that might pull the reins on Musk's (or Orange Man's) activities it was a rousing success.
How big is a moon?
(Take a look at the objects orbiting Saturn and Jupiter)
Or even the moons of Pluto (Of course it can't have moons since its not a planet)
Pluto is still a planet. It's been termed as a dwarf planet, which is still a type of planet.
(It should still be one of the major planets, but that's another discussion)
Do you think the crabby lady at the DMV knows anything about cars, or has ever turned a wrench? No, she's sitting there to one day collect her pension and make your day there miserable.
After several dozen assholes have already made her day miserable? Maybe a bit of kindness would go a long way towards improving your experience instead of looking down on her like she's a lesser being.
The ad is not the enemy.
Bullshit. Advertisers made themselves the enemy with their shitty tactics like pop ups, obnoxious animated video ads, stupid loud audio, and generally annoying intrusiveness. And let's not forget about being vectors for malware, which is the worst sin of all.
If the ads stayed reasonable and sane I likely wouldn't run adblockers. The reality of things means that insanity reigns, and I am forced to take my sanity into my own hands. Fuck advertisements, and the horse they rode in on. Marketing types made this bed; they can sleep in it.
And bye every other browser except Firefox
Some of us never left. When Chrome took the 800 lb gorilla role from IE it inevitably embraced enshittification wholesale. Firefox has also done so to a much lesser degree, but at least I can remove or disable all of it.
With the NoScript and uBlock Origin add ons I can keep my browsing reasonably sane. MS Edge is here for those crap sites that won't work in FF. Chrome is persona non grata on my PCs.
Indeed. One of the easiest ways to know that someone is lying to you is when they insist that everyone else is lying, and that only they are telling the truth.
