Ah yes, the nuanced thinking of a 5 year old - everything is black and white and everyone who doesn’t agree w me 100% is evil

Can the legislature be forced to follow the people’s mandate by law enforcement? We seriously need to pass laws that jail legislators who fail to act in a timely manner on the peoples will

This has the same energy as someone who says they want to drive a car less because it has seatbelts installed.

Like fine - its a useful tool that might prevent you being scammed which just displays information you can easily ignore- better run away.

Yeah the quality of my Healthcare is decreasing

I’m not on twitter and never was, but I’m not silly enough to think billionaires don’t shape my world in a million fucking ways with their unilateral decisions. Elon here has a HUGE one recently in deciding to disable starlink during a Ukraine offensive.

Trying to assist his rich buddies with fucking with the union is a lower tier crime but still its fuckery that affects a lot of people.

Modern day capitalism rewards nothing of value.

May the next iteration of the internet include more people journeying to smaller communities that fit them, and less scooping everyone up and exposing them to as much outrage as possible to addict them.

Ideally all social media use goes to near zero

I have been telling youtube im not interested in Joe Rogan for years. It still gives me joe rogan youtube shorts

Feels good to be reading this somewhere other than reddit

Other countries seemed to have some common sense when it comes to capitalism in that they largely don’t allow capitalist incentives to entirely consume areas of public good, such as healthcare / education / and yes even government services such as tax collection.

The USA kind of forgot during the cold war that crony capitalism is a thing and the incentive to make the most money possible isn’t compatible with providing public goods.

Finally AI does something useful

So what makes lastpass untrustworthy and do we think competitors like 1pass are any different?

Capitalism working as expected. 25 flavors of the same bullshit
