So, American here. My family immigrated from Germany, Poland, England, and Italy (the nationalities of my four grandparents). My family never owned slaves, never owned farmland, never profited from any of that. Why should my tax dollars go towards paying reparations for something my family had no part in?

That’s the part that I struggle with. Should the families who directly profited off of slavery pay reparations? Perhaps. Should the families and individuals who had nothing to do with slavery? Absolutely not.

This is almost worse for me. It is clear to everyone he did it, the recordings are there for everyone to listen to. The charges hung for so long because there was good evidence we don’t know of. They only went away because she refused to cooperate at the end.

Covering it up and saying he did not commit the offenses is total bullshit. But, as you said at least he’s gone. It’s a shame he won’t be held accountable for his actions, but that is a societal problem, not a Manchester United problem.

Yes, “becoming” wouldn’t even be true 15 years ago.

This is probably a correct assumption, plus it also keeps it relevant. More of his supporters/underlings going to jail and it keeps the heat on. It drew it out for how long and now the nation is ramping up for another election and Trump’s indictments start flying in.

Well, I actually think dogs and cats come out on top. So I think they are using their chance to the maximum. My cat’s almost got nicer shit than me.

I would not assume anything when it comes to unemployment. I’ve seen it awarded in all sorts of circumstances, including during a resignation.

Essentially, the Supreme Court ruled that Henry Ford had to operate the company in the best interests of its shareholders, not his employees. It’s an awful ruling by the Supreme Court that has never been revisited.

Artemis is one that’s in development and using the new beta API on the Artemis.Camp server. It’s great so far, I’m replying to your comment with it.

Avelon is a great app. It’s my go to for Lemmy.

I hope he comes through, I’m a bit concerned he’s so inexperienced at the top level. But I’ll keep my trust in the boss as he’s had great signings so far.

And they still haven’t caved to his demands.
