That’s the spirit.

aaaaace , in FTC head wants investigation into grocery stores over inflated prices

Why not just unmerge Kroger?

NIAAS, National Incorporation As A Service, fee is the difference between highest paid employee and lowest each year. What they receive, not what some outsourcer charges for a limpeza.

Alternative is full incorporation required in each state operated in.

bookcrawler , in Racism Is Why Trump Is So Popular

They fear becoming a minority.

clutches pearls Goodness gracious, someone might treat them like they treat minorities!

That is literally what the white “christians” have been stressing about here. As a minority mutt that “passes”, maybe try being less of an asshole?

Novman ,

I don’t know if you understand, but every ethnic minority in every part of the world have problems. USA now is involved in at least two ethnic conflicts ( gaza and ukraine/dombass ). What do you american don’t understand is that a country without an ethnic majority is unstable. See jugoslavia of austro-hungary empire. I think that usa enemies are really happy about a balkanisation of the usa. Your comment should be make chinese happy. You start to talk like a balkan ethnicity.

draneceusrex ,

I guess this is one of the few times American Exceptionalism actually proves right. We’ve always been a melting pot of cultures. That includes many different “white” cultures for a good few centuries, but go ahead and ask the Irish and Italian immigrants if they didn’t feel like minorities as they were coming off the boats to Ellis Island. Even next to the oppression and brutality both Native and Black Americans faced, their contributions to our society are innumerable and invaluable. The new immigrants coming from Latin America are just being played for political gain while we appreciate and depend on their willingness to work our farms and construction sites. Their kids are just as adapted to American culture as mine are, just as every second generation of immigrants turns out to be. We stress a huge amount about racism (and yes we still have a long way to go, as Trump shows) but when you really compare us to other countries, we seem to be doing alright. The melting pot will keep going, even once us white people are under 50% of the population.

Novman ,

I think that you overextimate the american exceptionalism. In the xx century the europe was destroyed in the ww leaving the usa as the only state not touched by the wars. The rest of the world was lagging techlogicaly. Now the situation is different. Usa is a young country and it is not different from any other.

draneceusrex ,

11 aircraft carriers, the dollar being the fiat currency of the world, and our cultural dominance pretty much seals the hegemony win for the US since the '90s, but ok, sure dude. We’re no different than other countries…

Novman ,

To be an empire doesn’t mean be different

thedirtyknapkin ,

white people aren’t even close to becoming a minority, we’re just approaching a point that no race is the majority. there will still be more white people than any other race here for a long long time, and when that changes it’s only going to be because of racial mixing and a loss of racial identity or the birth of a new one. white people will not be a minority just because they become less than 50% of the population. they will lose some of the privilege they have and that may feel like oppression to them, but they will not become a minority.

Novman ,

We will see.

Deconceptualist , in US air force avoids PFAS water cleanup, citing supreme court’s Chevron ruling

So “federal regulators lack the authority” to order a cleanup, even though feds made the orders that led to environmental damage in the first place. Riiiiight.

xenoclast ,

This is nothing. Wait until you see what the corporations will do when they’re told to stop polluting say the water source of a major city and they say fuck you to the EPA

It’s gonna get so so so much worse

"Millions leave Chicago because Dow Chemical poisons the water table. When asked for comment a DOW chemical PR representative said: ‘Yeah, suck a dick losers’ "

NotMyOldRedditName ,

The EPA can still take them to court with a jury over things like this, but they won’t have the resources to take everyone to court.

So you still gotta be smart about it and not do something like completely wreck the water source for Chicago, because they’ll use their limited resources to go after them.

But some small town no one cares about? Probably much easier.

xenoclast ,

You’re talking about the same companies that own entire local governments. That get to choose the rules they play under in normal situations.

This is like nothing any human currently alive in America has experienced. It’s worse than 1800s robber Baron America. It’s the same attitude and people with (and I means this literally) million of times greater resources than the government.

The 44 years of dismantling and disrupting any power the government had is starting to pay off in spades.

The reality is, we’ll look at my original comment and laugh at how naive and quaint it was. Like people saying “Trump will never win” then "How bad could he fuck it up really?.. and then…

Delusional , in ‘A different level than 2020’: Trump’s plan to steal election is taking shape

He keeps on repeating the lie that the election was stolen without any consequences at all. Fox lies to their viewers every night without any consequences at all.

When will we stop letting these fascist assholes lie to Americans and brainwash them into thinking the lies are true? It’s obviously damaging to America and they’re just allowed to fucking damage America without anyone stopping them or them receiving any consequences. It’s fucking ridiculous. It needs to stop otherwise America will never recover from the fascist bullshit.

crusa187 ,

When we reform campaign finance laws so that corporate media can no longer buy policy positions, things can change. Until then it’s not happening, because this exact thing resulted in the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine during Reagan’s presidency in 1987.

SeaJ , in The politics holding back Medicaid expansion in some Southern states

Of course it is not driven by cost concerns. There is no cost to the state.

some_guy , in GOP House candidate was blamed after handgun was stolen

You should get kicked off the force for this level of incompetence. Instead, you get docked vacay days and later run for office.

Edit:

“The incident speaks for itself,” New York Democratic Chair Jay Jacobs said in an interview. “It’s great to have a lot to say [about crime], but when you make mistakes like that and are sloppy like that it speaks volumes for the seriousness that you take your job. I would just say it’s certainly not something that helps her argument.”

There it is.

Viking_Hippie , in Biden dropped out because “the most important thing” is “we must defeat Trump”: CBS News

Funny how he used to say that he decided to run again and then insist on not stepping aside for the exact reason he’s now giving for making the (correct and beneficial to the world) decision to bow to pressure from the rich donors and thus Nancy Pelosi to stand down.

It’s almost like he’s a notoriously dishonest and very vain old man trying to save face after having lost a power struggle…

TheReturnOfPEB ,

Or a human being and a leader that is capable of change and sacrifice in the name of something bigger.

Whichever.

Viking_Hippie , (edited )

Nah, he was pushed out.

For the month that he stubbornly refused to withdraw, you guys told us that he was doing the right thing and anyone who said otherwise wanted Trump to win.

Then when he was forced to by major donors and their chief enforcer Pelosi, THAT was the best course of action to avoid another Trump presidency (true) that he decided on all of his own (extremely obviously false) because he’s a heroically self-sacrifying hero (gimme a break).

No matter what he does, you fanboys and fangirls say it’s the only right thing to do and that it was all his idea. It’s eerily reminiscent of the MAGA cult in its obsequiousness.

Burn_The_Right , in US air force avoids PFAS water cleanup, citing supreme court’s Chevron ruling

While corporations are at the heart of this, conservatives are to blame. Conservatives made this possible and are genuinely delighted by it.

Conservatism is the single most deadly threat humanity faces today. It is a hate-based ideology opposed to science, health and basic human decency. There is absolutely no place for conservatism in a modern civilization.

Soup ,

The best part is that it’s not even as easy to say “opposed to science”. They love that shit if it gives them power. All conservatism is, or has ever been, is an ideology to give to the stupid in order for those in power to maintain their grip on it. Any common themes over the years and in different cultures are just so because that’s the meta.

henfredemars , in US air force avoids PFAS water cleanup, citing supreme court’s Chevron ruling

It’s only a little poison, obviously.

skuzz , in FTC head wants investigation into grocery stores over inflated prices

Not only inflated prices, start measuring and draining canned vegetables. They’re all slacking off with the ratio of food to filling. One can of veggies that allegedly had 425g of vegetable in it ended up only having 200g of vegetable in it after the liquid was drained.

Kit ,

Fresh or frozen vegetables are better for you, and usually cost the same as canned.

skuzz ,

That’s not the issue at hand. The theft part is.
