Honestly not sure the situation for immigrants is that much better under Biden. Especially with the immigration bill from earlier in the year they tried to pass and the It Could Happen Here episodes about the border conditions under Biden. At least during Trump's term there were news reports and people were more active giving aid.

That's why I stopped using Google a few years ago. I moved to ddg and liked it pretty well. I switched to kagi earlier this year and it's going pretty well. I still run into some captchas that refuse to let me pass. I usually just turn around at that point
Dams are scary too, I just hope people are able to decommission them slowly when the time comes. Otherwise the deluge is going to suck.
Sounds like it would make repairing batteries harder unfortunately.
I will say my Fairphone is a good bit thicker than my work Iphone but honestly it's not a significant downside for me. The weight is a bigger deal but still not worth the trade-off for a phone I can be confident I can repair myself
But we had to rename them to freedom fries after 9/11

Unfortunately for riders, louder bikes have a negligible effect on driver awareness

The Deficit Myth uses a different reasoning that's more widely applicable to fiat currencies. Fiat currencies have value, are used in commerce, because you have to pay your taxes in them. You can't pay with Bitcoin, real estate, or commodities.
Inflation on the other hand is caused by basic supply and demand. Inflation happens when more people want to buy a good than is in supply. The most recent inflation in the US was caused by supply shocks due to covid and eventually the war in Ukraine. Because so much of our economy is monopolized, a few players were able to artificially raise their prices using the real inflation as a smoke screen.
Hypothetically a treasury could print, or swap some numbers in a spreadsheet, as much money as they wanted into existence and no inflation would occur. Assuming everyone was able to buy what they wanted at a fixed price.
I think a lot of neolibs conflate the two because both groups are more likely to think the system is broken in a significant way. They're also more likely to do the worst thing imaginable, advocate for things in a tone neolibs don't approve of. Obviously leftists want good things to happen and conservatives want to hurt people so the conflation is just smug BS
I'm glad Biden ended family separation and has increased electronic monitoring over detention. Unfortunately, tons of people are still in abusive privately run immigration prisons. Many are dying during border crossings. Plenty of kids who immigrated are laboring in meat packing plants.
Biden continues many of Trump's awful policies, but because he does it in a quieter, more respectable tone he receives less backlash. The lack of support people get from us is stark and the abolish ICE movement has withering away.
Both these situations are bad. I think my point is less about the election and more that we collectively should do something about these conditions. Mutual aid, volunteer, harass a representative, just something.
