Idk man, she is fighting daily for the middle class, and is consistently against billionaires existing. That’s sort of her whole thing. If anything she seems more in touch with the issues regular people face more than anyone in Congress.
This feels like a bad faith attempt to find something not to like about her.
The job of being in congress pays 174k per year, so having some amount of money after doing that job for multiple years is inevitable.
AOC is one of the most outspoken leftists in the government. If anyone deserves the benefit of the doubt it is her.
👀 what is the file name??
Can you quantify soon here? I agree with you that they don’t have good intentions, but I think that framing it as like, a planned genocide is not accurate. More realistically what can happen is more systemic injustices and consolidations of power to prevent anyone from resisting.
Thank you. It’s fine for people here to like these kinds of things, I’m not opposed to that. But be realistic. This will never be the public standard.
Exactly. This makes me feel good! We’re the good guys!
Overall not helpful
I know someone who got it at 17. That said, the only reason it happened was because of connections. Usually, even if it gets approved at 16, you basically have to get in line, and that will take 2-3 years before you can actually get the surgery.
That’s how it was for my friend a few years ago at least.
But if it were, we would be ready to throw him under the bus in a heartbeat. Bad behavior is bad behavior. We’re not in a cult
Yeah honestly space x is rocking it because of the immense talent of the team that exists there. They do over 100 successful launches per year now. It has transformed the space industry as humanity has ever known it. That’s fucking cool.
I think you’re right. The asteroid literally kamikaze’d itself so the analogy actually works quite well
Let’s say both then. Both the US and China are surveillance states, and that makes them both bad.
Btw just so you are aware, there is some underlying animosity toward people who defend China here. Usually people who defend China are just trying to deflect and try to say things like “BUT America does bad things!” While trying to make it seem like that somehow absolves China of genocide and mass surveillance.
The hard part for those people to grasp is that Americans are usually happy to say yes, America sucks. Any country that engages in those actions sucks. Diehard tankies on the other hand are incapable of seeing flaws in China/Russia/whatever country they feel the need to defend.
Yeah honestly let’s make an example out of that horse
Exactly. Why are we federated with people who deny genocides? Fuck all of that
I’m all for defederating from tankie instances. They suck.
Arguably, the average person will not care. My mom will probably buy one because, and I quote, “Your phone takes good pictures!”
Benchmark tests don’t matter to normal people
Squicks. This is a new word, but I approve.
Honestly Lemmy sucks because people here are all try-hard assholes who are incapable of seeing nuance. Anytime I comment on anything I somehow end up offending some segment of the Marxist left. Which baffles me because I’m rather far left as well, but they are too caught up in trying to prove I am an idiot to realize I’m literally on their side on 99% of topics.
It’s pretty discouraging and I’ve kinda stopped wanting to interact here.
Thank you for being a voice of reason. People here are completely out of touch from reality
