Wait, so you are saying you have either lived continuously on a 29ft boat for 5 years, or only have visited land by dinghy or something while its anchored?

Wild. That’s got to be a nasty looking hull though.

Dumbass bills are introduced all the time. The news likes to bring them up but never talks about most of them being shot down though.

Idk why you are talking about scraping when I said API?

And is all that information in the training contract?

Its just an API, right?

60 million a year for access to the relatively public data… That seems pretty good to me tbh.

Is Taylor Swift’s fan base still “youth”?

I mean, check all the numbers around the country. Obviously numbers are going to increase closer to election season, especially another very controversial one.

Let’s just hope Swift isnt the big moving force, since the candidates she endorsed in Tenessee in 2018 lost while she was getting the same type of news stories

I’m not very opinionated on guns tbh, but I do think this only makes it more difficult for poor people. I’m not sure I agree with that.

I was always pretty skeptical about the impact Taylor Swift had on the 2018 election. There were a few other factors from 2016-2020 that definitely increased political involvement and compare 2014 to 2018 Senate voting numbers in any state. They all dramatically increased.

Also, Bredesen(the person Taylor endorsed) ended up losing.

I think this is silly and her influence is blown way out of proportion.

But Taylor Swift has endorsed candidates in the past.

Taylor Swift Endorses Democratic Candidates In Tennessee

Taylor Swift endorses Joe Biden for President

Yeah, when I talk to people about politics, mainly online, it seems like everyone is reciting things theyv heard/read without critical thinking.

Giving all the power to people that line up with your beliefs in office sounds nice, until they ban abortions and have gun classes for kindergarteners next election.

We need checks and balances to work, and local => state => federal is a real important part of that. I 100% believe we should be taking as much power back from the federal government as possible, while still staying the United States. They hoarded power and turned that shit into a reality show

I don’t know Canadians government system well, but I do know it would be comparing to a completely different system. Either way, I’m sure there are benefits and drawbacks.

But in the last few decades, America has funneled more power to the President and the Federal government and I don’t believe the government version of “trickle-down economics” is the right approach. For example, imagine a Republican held Federal government having authority over California. I don’t think that’d have a positive outcome for the Californians.

Our local/state government is a solid structure, but my city of more than 100k people had 8k votes last local election. People should focus on local as much as they do federal, and I bet a lot more people would be happy with the governing of their area.

A unified set of standards that you like though, right? Not what the people you disagree with like? I have to assume you don’t want Republican law choices to control every state.

United States was based of the idea of local and state governments united under a federal government, not dictated by that government. It’s funny how in the 90s the New World Order was a huge fear, but but slowly seems like people online are leaning towards it now.

Do you want a Federal government that has control over everything?

I mean, it sounds great when you agree with the Federal goverment I guess, but people should focus more on their own local and state governments.

Those governments dont make as dramatic of TV though. So where peoples votes really count the most, most people aren’t paying attention.

Did Alex Jones ever hold a broadcast license for the fairness doctorine to be applicable?

Pretty sure he got popped a few years ago for his pirate radio. And then got popped with the biggest defamation fine ever.

They already froze his assets and are in the processes of collecting for the families. They already ruled bankruptcy is not an excuse not to pay.

The legal systems seems to agree with what you want the desired outcome to be. I guess the only difference is you want to government to be able to have full control over everything, so they can take it instantly?

I’m curious. What would you like “America” to do in this situation?

People should be more focused on their local and state governments, rather than thinking the federal goverment was designed to govern the whole population

a person from Virginia really has nothing in common with a person from California. Their lives and cultures are just totally different.

Seems like something the internet just says. Ive lived all over. I can find the same amount of cultural difference in a city, compared to states away.

Political violence is at historic levels in the US,

Im pretty skeptical of this tbh. Pretty sure the 60s/70s were considerably worse. And then the 20s…

But we should strive to be better
