Sometimes mandatory arbitration doesn't work out so well for companies either as Valve found out. When they run into what are effectively class action lawsuits but they get forced into individual arbitration with hundreds of thousands of people that clause starts to look really dumb.

An informed voter base that votes based on understanding the policies is of course the ideal, but the problem is a significant chunk of the current voters are already those brainwashed idiots voting for the loudest moron. If what it takes to unseat them is an equivalent group of brainwashed idiots voting in the opposite direction that might just be the compromise we have to make. The critical thing is going to be that the person those idiots elect needs to actually pass intelligent policies. If you can convince morons to vote for someone actually intelligent, that's still an improvement over the current state where morons are electing either pure evil, morons, or both.

That's how desperate they are to get people talking about anything but Epstein. Unless Trump keels over dead don't fall for it, keep pushing on the Epstein connection.

It's been a thing people have talked about for a long time that Trump wears lifts to make himself look taller.

The problem is the majority of the legislative and the head of the executive decided to collude to just ignore the constitution and then proceeded to stuff the judicial branch with their puppets. The problem with the checks and balances is they don't have an answer to "but what if 2/3rds of the government decides to wipe their ass with the constitution at the same time?".

No amount of reorganizing the deck chairs changes that calculus. The system was broken the moment they just decided not to remove Trump from office during his first impeachment. The only way I can see to do anything about that flaw is to just make it ridiculously easy to impeach any politician, say something like a general vote of the public that only requires a 25% margin to pass. Sure the Republicans absolutely would have used something like that against Obama, but at least we'd be able to clean all the corrupt bastards out of congress and the supreme court as well.

I'd argue the 9060 and 9070 are less AMD not screwing up and more Nvidia setting records for screwing up. The 5060 and 5070 are wastes of silicon that are out competed by Nvidias own hardware nevermind AMDs offerings. The 9060 and 9070 are not bad GPUs, but they're not really good either.

If Intel can close the performance gap with AMD while also maintaining their price points we might see some genuinely good GPUs as AMD is forced to compete with someone (Nvidia isn't really a competitor, AMD isn't even attempting to compete at the high end, and Nvidia refuses to compete at the low end). My only fear in this scenario is that AMD does the same thing they did previously when they struggled to compete with Nvidia and just exits the GPU market entirely.

It would be truly ironic if we ended up in a situation where AMD is the dominant CPU manufacturer, Intel dominates the budget GPU market, and Nvidia dominates the market for people with more money than sense.

He's a moron that doesn't understand economics and ignores the advice of anybody smarter than him (which is pretty much everyone). He has an incredibly simplistic concept of how domestic markets work and doesn't even remotely understand international trade. All he sees is the word "deficit" in "trade deficit" and thinks that means the US isn't getting paid for its exports. It's why he's so hung up on the concept of tariffs (which also don't work like he thinks they do).

The only thing Trump has ever understood is how to rip people off. If he had been born to someone poor Trump would be running the sleaziest used car lot for a thousand miles around somewhere.

Don't forget medical expenses as well. The cost of living in the US has been on the rise for decades while wages have remained flat. The simple reality is while the US economy has continued to improve, only the rich have benefited from that and it's approaching the point where the majority of the US population literally can not afford to live in the US. The oligarchs are going to be forced to share that wealth or the entire US economy will collapse and they won't like what happens when a large, angry, and very well armed population decides they're tired of living off the crumbs that fall off the plates of an incredibly tiny group of the ultra wealthy.

Isn't it an international human rights violation to make somebody stateless? For that matter is there literally any legal mechanism in the US to strip citizenship from someone once it has been granted?

This is the first I've heard of the neoliberals being driven out of the DNC and frankly I find it a bit hard to believe. Outside of the win in NY I haven't heard of any other significant shakeups in the party, and frankly the number of politicians in the DNC you'd need to oust to dislodge the neoliberals makes me think I'd have heard something.

Just going to ignore everything I said that proves you wrong? OK, you do you and keep being wrong, I'll keep driving legally and keep my perfect driving record.

The only good thing about all this I suppose is I learned not needing to use turn signals in turn only lanes is a unique thing to my state, it seems like most other states do require them.

Anyway if all you're going to do is keep saying wrong and re-quote the same debunked statement there's not really anything left to say.

Because the Republican/Libertarian dogma is that government does not work and is inherently wasteful, that only private corporations are efficient and good. Their goal is to destroy the entire government and replace it all with private contractors doing the same thing for more money and half as well. Ignoring the fact that they are themselves government workers, and that there are many necessary services that explicitly should not be run to maximize profits, they're also fundamentally wrong that the government is somehow uniquely wasteful and inefficient. It's just one of many false beliefs they have, the biggest and most damaging of which being the idea of trickle down economics.
