Didn’t he sue another company that did tests on the site to see if ads would show up beside hateful content, which showed they would, and that case ended up being dismissed?
Edit: There was a bit of hot mic somewhere nearby so you could hear a little bit before he sat down:
RS: “Hi Mister Trump, just take a seat over there, thank you.”
DT: “Uh, how are you? How are you?”
RS: “Good”
Music dies and mic turns on:
RS: “Mr President, we so appreciate you giving us an hour of your time. I want to start by addressing the elephant in the room, sir. A lot of people did not think that it was appropriate for you to be here today. You have pushed false claims about some of your rivals from Nikki Haley to former President Barack Obama saying…”
He has those weird psychological tricks, like standing funny, having a long tie, and the handshake thing. Getting people to say “hello, how are you” to him is probably one of those, and he’s upset that she sidestepped it.
If the republicans and neoliberals don’t ruin it with endless foreign conflicts, this might a great admin (if they win!).
Harris/Walz should run on a platform of implementing something like the Nordic model here in the states, or at least paving the path for it. The Nordic states are not “communists” but have reasonable social welfare and related standards.
States with social welfare have also been shown to be less susceptible to far right ideologies.
Nah, Nordic model is not a good choice. It’s all fine to drill some oil, collect a lot of taxes and give that money away to people as welfare, while enjoying innovations produced by evil liberal capitalists.
I can’t think of anything advanced after Nokia that is built in Scandinavian countries. No cars (Saab is dead, Volvo is sold to Chinese), no microelectronics, no innovative drugs. To be fair, they have IKEA and LEGO, but this is not what makes humanity progress.
I feel there is a lot of options on the left spectrum that is less radical but still beneficial for broad population. Think France or Germany as an example.
Exactly, by a team not just one genius CEO doing all that by staying up late in their lab all night pushing KPI limits, spread those rewards around now.!?
You can innovate and have social programs. Look at the riots happening in the UK, if those people had social programs which weren’t gutted or made inefficient by their hostile government then their communities wouldn’t be getting shafted by poverty or health issues and blaming it on immigrants
FYI, I am yet to have anyone give me a reasonable justification for why CEO pay is multimillion or billions. No one person or CEO is providing that much value to society, and in fact from what we’ve seen concentrating that much wealth into a few places just ends up creating a mess
I’m not saying you cannot have both. I’m saying that US and Nordic countries are like on opposing poles of economical systems spectrum. And in my opinion the better options are somewhere in the middle.
Yeah, CEO salaries are often outrageous. Wealth taxes should be implemented to curb that, and not just high bracket income taxes.
That’s what I love Lemmy for - a new perspective (and down votes, of course). Thanks for the link, it’s an interesting read. I also looked up details on their taxation system and it’s not that crazy, especially on business side. If someone wants it, here is the link to the article which compares Nordic countries tax system to US: taxfoundation.org/…/scandinavian-social-programs-…
It seems that my opinion about lack of innovation was caused by me not knowing or hearing about big names of Nordic companies. No Scandinavian Apples or Googles around.
But as much as I enjoyed this conversation, I feel we have ventured way too far from Tim Walz…
Musk is suing under antitrust laws. I’m not sure they work that way. Antitrust laws prevent producers from consolidating and exploiting consumers. However, when it comes to advertising placements, the companies are consumers, not producers, and I don’t think a consumer advocacy group (which the World Federation of Advertisers functions as in this regard) is illegal.
I don’t know, I am not a lawyer, but it seems like Twitter is grasping at straws here.
I know right? I mean if they colluded to lower advertising prices through collective agreement that would be something. Especially if they had an internal forcing mechanism to ensure compliance.
But um, they set out voluntary guidelines they suggested everyone follow to protect each member’s own best interests, and decided to spend zero dollars to buy nothing, which is a far far cry from trying to spend zero dollars to buy something.
