Robert Reich kept posting about Republicans and complaining about authoritarianism... The fucking Democrats are authoritarians (look at their last presidential candidate... Tough on crime bullshit just like any Republican) and Trump is a fascist but Democrats acted like that was a word they could never use until recently (Reich finally used the F word a few months ago.)

As long as major Democrats softball fascists they are only helping them and might as well be them.

However much they shit you still need to account for water loss

They have the worst coverage of any major network by far AND are a PITA to deal with these days like they used to not be. Why would you even consider them for anything other than maybe fixed wireless in a location where they actually have signal?

No it doesn't for the simple reason I already explained.. Making it illegal to place the bets or collect will not stop someone from doing it in the first place because they don't know or think they can get away with it. It must be illegal to advertise the bet, let alone to pay it, so that hopefully no one is induced to do it by the promise of reward. Making it illegal won't actually prevent it of course but since this is still the available tool it should at least be used at the right level.

Indeed that will not help because criminality doesn't make people not commit an act, only allows us to punish them later, but you can't squeeze billions in fire damages out of the indigent.

Barring actually meeting people's needs, which the state can't do while simultaneously paying the bills shithole states can't cover, banning betting on wildfires is reasonable.

You support the creation of a right wing dictatorship, you've been telling us loudly how much you support it literally the whole time you've been here.

No, by we I mean the country. You can't just pretend it's not a thing when it's convenient and then acknowledge it exists when that's convenient.

FIFA has ALWAYS been shit so soccer fans are used to shit

We're talking about AI data centers here. The network latency is trivial compared to the processing latency, so it's irrelevant for most use cases.

Explain why something had to be done to reject a population that produces more revenue than it costs to support them and commits crimes at a rate lower than both the general population (slightly lower) and than the people hired to police them (FAR lower.)

Are you talking about the industry overpricing everything so nobody is buying anything here?

Where did you get the ludicrously inaccurate and ignorant and therefore on-brand idea that antitrust only applies to monopolies?

Pelosi and other congresspeople are clearly making what would be illegal trades for anyone who was not in congress. They are not only possessed of insider information but that includes their own upcoming actions, where they know what they will do which will affect markets before anyone else. The only reason it's "legal" is that nobody can hold them accountable but them. So yeah, that's technically legal, but it's also without oversight. (Citizen oversight doesn't count since Republicans deliberately damaged education in this country because they knew they couldn't continue to win elections otherwise.)

Precedent isn't relevant unless it's legal precedent, and the president putting his wealth in trust isn't that.

Shame you got modded down for facts.

Texas IS installing solar and wind, faster than any other state in fact.

But unlike China which virtue signals about the alt power they are building, Texas lack-of-virtue signals by crowing about coal and oil while building... the same alt power.

Chinese are more forward-looking than Texans.
