2ugly2live , in FULL SPEECH: President Joe Biden gives address after dropping out of 2024 election
@2ugly2live@lemmy.world avatar

I know he could give two shits about my opinion, but this is the proudest I’ve been of a government official in a long time. I know that decision wasn’t easy and probably took a big blow to his ego, but he is truly trying to put the country first with this move. Thank you, sir. You might save this country from the Orange Buffon and Inc.

There’s nothing that protects your right to violate your genetic dress code in the US Constitution. In fact, the government has a duty to protect children from WrongDress, because of the pedophiles.

genetic dress code

I would like a copy of the Genetic Dress Code. I need to make sure I’m compliant.

NocturnalMorning , in Prisoners fight against working in heat on former slave plantation, raising hope for change in South

Slavery over in the U.S… right

“…except as a punishment for crime” -13th amendment

Maybe “former” slave plantation isn’t an accurate description.

homesweethomeMrL ,

The amendment that outlawed slavery also enshrined it into law.

Nougat , in ‘Unacceptable Levels’ of Hazardous Substances in Temu Products, UK investigation finds

Temu is just a marketplace. Think “Amazon with only third party sellers.”

If heavy metals are a problem, that’s not a Temu problem, that’s a China problem.

girlfreddy ,
@girlfreddy@lemmy.ca avatar

It’s also a Temu problem as they’re the sellers of said products and should be verifying that those products are not made of toxic materials.

Nougat ,

Then I am quite certain it is also an Amazon problem, and an eBay problem, and an AliExpress problem. Singling out Temu is disingenuous.

girlfreddy ,
@girlfreddy@lemmy.ca avatar

Yes, it is also all those seller’s problem as well. And I’m not sure shy you seem to think that’s an issue. It’s not.

Soleos ,

Because the headline frames it as a purely Temu problem and with Temu-exclusive products, when all these other marketplaces should be included as they sell the same things. They should have compared them with other marketplaces as well to show whether or not it’s a broader “online marketplace” problem.

Dkarma ,

That’s not how retail works.

This is peak boomer mentality.

What planet do you have to live on to believe stores vet the products they sell in any way???

one does not simply write a 900 pages plan for sport

hydroptic ,

Right?

Like, even if Trump doesn’t win you can bet your ass a lot of conservatives are on board and pushing the agenda

ceenote ,

If Trump doesn’t win, it’ll just become Project 2029.

hydroptic ,

Oh yeah that too, but what I specifically meant was that there’s a lot of conservative lawmakers who’ll be pushing policy points from the “manual” before that – they’ll probably largely agree with a lot of the goals set out in it

Feathercrown ,

I wonder how long we have left with Trump, though. I mean, the dude’s pushing 80 and already pretty senile.

Voroxpete ,

Trump didn’t write Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation did. This is the agenda of the Republican party, not any one figurehead.

tiefling ,

I’ve spent three years writing a fantasy campaign setting. The result is about 30-40 pages long so far.

900 pages is insane

Voroxpete ,

900 pages is a suitable length for a large scale overarching policy agenda. It’s clear that they put a lot of thought into every detail of this.

The content of that 900 pages, now that’s insane. It’s literally a blueprint for a fascist Christian theocracy.

Soon we’ll all be subsidizing Matt Gaetz raping and trafficking underage girls, while he continues to take a taxpayer salary and the DOJ does nothing about it.

Steve , in Citing recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling, Gov. Gavin Newsom orders state agencies to clear homeless camps and encourages cities to do so

“We must act with urgency to address dangerous encampments, which subject unsheltered individuals living in them to extreme weather, fires, predatory and criminal activity, and widespread substance use, harming their health, safety, and well-being, and which also threaten the safety and viability of nearby businesses and neighborhoods, and undermine the cleanliness and usability of parks, water supplies, and other public resources.”

I don’t even know where to begin.

UsernameHere ,

“The order requires state agencies to adopt policies modeled after a California Department of Transportation policy directive that “prioritizes removal of encampments that pose threats to life, health, and safety, while partnering with local governments and nonprofit providers to facilitate offers of shelter and supportive services in advance of removal.””

Steve , (edited )

Unless they’re setting people up with homes, this sounds like an excuse.

If the shelters were safer and had space, the people in encampments would be using them already.

p2025 is a comprehensive wishlist that ranges from staunch conservative to bananas christofascist stuff.

Now we can tar all of that with the P2025 brush.

This is going to bite them hard.

P2025 sounds like a check engine code.

Edit: looked it up and it is one. It gets better though - related to emissions (OBDII)! 🤣

Thanks for making me ashamed of my state, asshole. Then again, my love is actually for the Bay Area and specifically Oakland, so little change there. Fuck off, Gavinator.

UsernameHere ,

You blame the govenor for the Supreme Court ruling?

conditional_soup ,

Nobody’s forcing Newsom to embrace the ruling.

UsernameHere ,

The growing homeless problem is forcing him to embrace the ruling. Why would he ignore the problem?

“prioritizes removal of encampments that pose threats to life, health, and safety, while partnering with local governments and nonprofit providers to facilitate offers of shelter and supportive services in advance of removal.””

conditional_soup ,

Before the 9th circuit stopped it, homeless sweeps were wholeheartedly embraced as the de facto solution. Somehow, over forty years of homeless sweeps, it doesn’t seem to have solved the problem.

It’s because encampment sweeps aren’t a fix, it’s just blasting money out of the government’s ass to temporarily wallpaper over the problem and make life harder on the people who’ve been brought lowest in our society. He would be wise to remain on the path of housing reform and other reforms that California was starting to embrace when it didn’t have any other choice, that is, if he actually intends to fix the problem.
