@icedquinn I just use full fledges android devices with e-ink displays.. has almost as good battery life, and givesme all the advantages of android apps.
@icedquinn Sounds like their "existing" customers wont exist for much longer because they are about to buy all the junk they need for the next year at half price somewhere else :)
@TruthSandwich Im not trolling, I concede, you win.
@TruthSandwich Ya know what, you are right you convinced me... I will take your suggestion and just vote for Trump... sure he is evil, and horrible, but like you proved it is a two party system, so looks like I will just have to bite the bullet and vote for Trump.
@admitsWrongIfProven Yea its amazing people are still arguing over if climate change is real while we literally cook to death and have deserts spreading around the world.
It means she now looks closer to what the "average" professional photo looks like.
@TruthSandwich I'm not a trumper, just cant stand evil people. If that makes me an asshole then happy to be one.
Right now? No we have not enforced anti-trust or similar rules on unions... both sides need to be reigned in.
Fair compensation is the default in a free market. I define a free market with strong anti-trust laws and similar boundaries set on unions.
Now I am not saying we shouldnt have unions, no more than i would say we shouldnt have corperations.. But both need to be kept in check from price-fixing practices.
Just FYI #WhatsApp appears to be down. The web client is down for me.
@mekkaokereke So high crime rates causes people to want to vote republican more so than usual?
One could argue (im not sure if im one of them mind you) that a collective in a free-market is no longer a free market. If you support anti-trust legislation that stops companies from collaborating to fix prices, and that such things represent an unfree market, then one can argue large unions are equally violating.
@jerry Awesome, good luck to you guys!
**CALLING ALL FRIENDS, ADVOCATES, AND ACTIVISTS** A leaked e-mail from a Texas Department of Protective Safety trooper documents the remarkably cruel measures Governor Greg Abbott has instituted at the border to deter crossings. These include hidden razor wire traps, the withholding of water even in extreme heat, and orders to push migrants—including children and infants—back into the Rio Grande where they might drown. The sight of razor wire to corral innocent human beings has echoes for me personally, when similar wire surrounded the Japanese American internment camps of my youth. We cannot let Governor Greg Abbott get away with this. I'm calling on you, my friends, advocates and activists, to help put a stop to this by signing the petition demanding the Biden Administration puts an end to these inhumane practices against migrants in Texas.
