While you have a point you might consider what little free time young people have is largely spent on social media full of dark patterns and negative feedback loops and/or gaming stuffed with gambling. One does not detract from the other problems you outline. “Phone bad” holds true as long as these big corporations insist on regulating themselves when all they do is feed people propaganda to keep anything from changing.
Isn’t this why you have the VP running mates? You vote for them just as much.
They fund their political campaigns via taxes and put limits on spending and campaign seasons, just buy european-made instead if you’re a fan.
It’s hard to convince people to bother and to care or participate when a bunch of rich aristocrats run the circus, everything from the news to the courts have been corrupted to the point where money and power have practically become synonymous words and now democracy is on the line - so if they want things to change now’s the last chance to make a difference.
Technofeudalism
Scared into submission while getting squeezed out of every cent.
Probably just a fool thinking free fusion energy was just around the corner
I mean they can try but I think most politicians / parties would consider such a move political suicide regardless if they manage to ram it through or not. In some countries retirement is a pretty vague thing altogether though so the quick and easy fix is to just quit voting the people you consider too old into congress.
Just let agelimits apply to judges as well and make judges appoint judges while you’re at it to minimize the politicizing of the bench.
Sad but harsh reality, it’s not pretty but just how democracy functions under FPTP-voting with zero campaign finance subsidy available. If you can’t pick up popularity in one of the two big parties you’re shit out of options in the current system - designed by wealthy romans for the benefit of wealthy romans. If not allowed to evolve the great experiment is doomed at the whim of the super rich whenever enough lose their minds into fascism.
Would you rather be dependent on foreign supply while waiting for renewable energy to be built? A lot of america still runs on oil and it’s gonna take a long time for that change even with the green transition finally happening.
Atleast with Biden there’s a good chance Harris will have to step up and become first female president
skeleton incumbents
quit packing congress with them then and demand age limits
Probably right, it’s unfortunate the people that ran her campaign were idiots and she listened to them.
In short the rich folk have the country over a barrel due to FPTP-voting and a lack of campaign financing subsidies. This scheme was designed by ancient wealthy romans for the benefit of ancient wealthy romans and it’s not a coincidence this form of democracy is the one America seeks to deliver upon the rest of the world.
Literally it’s called “the great experiment” because it’s failed before and will fail again if not allowed to evolve and advance into a form with better representation and where wealth doesn’t dictate everything happening.
The greatest driver of violence, crime and corruption is wealth-inequality, it’s no coincidence unions and such worse are branded as communism and criminal behavior by the plutocrats running the country, unite and demand change!
This is google we’re talking about, there never was any privacy to begin with, and what you believed was there was always just an illusion. This was always their interpretation of the ideal and power of the internet with its “free sharing of ideas and knowledge” - they literally went with including personal data in that much like facebook and both have yet to be stopped or held accountable to start treating it as such.
It’s like whoever is offering up these names and convincing them to use them is trying to tell consumers and workers something in the countries they work and operate. That a rental service is literally named Hertz is pretty on the nose even without all the movie culture references.
You’re not wrong but them being the executive class beholden to the investor class is a pretty big distinction from the rest of the working class that they oversee as a part of their work.
The rest of the investor class consider Musk a joke to actually run the companies he owns himself.
What you describe is just another example of poor urban planning + untapped market of public transport.
