Supreme Court weakens federal regulators with Chevron overturning, threatening net neutrality, right to repair, big tech regulation, and more (www.theverge.com)

The downfall of Chevron deference could completely change the ways courts review net neutrality, according to Bloomberg Intelligence’s Matt Schettenhelm. “The FCC’s 2024 effort to reinstitute federal broadband regulation is the latest chapter in a long-running regulatory saga, yet we think the demise of deference will...

I’ve known this was coming for years. Once Goursich was added it was known to those watching the courts exactly what would happen.

Before one of the hosts did the typical “become an unwanted sexual advance asshole” like everyone seems to become after they gain some fame, Opening Arguments podcast was a great way to learn about how depressing our future will be.

It’s absolutely fucking disgusting that no matter what the outcome SHOULD be, you can almost always call how this court will go simply by asking “what benefits the ultra wealthy and what have conservatives wanted forever?”

Asafum ,

Sadly I did not, but I also just stopped seeking that kind of information after Biden won. I needed a break from the madness. Lol

I think I still need to back away to be honest… Being surrounded by MAGA and having two spiders fighting over a cockroach where my memory should be, any time I try to utilize what I’ve learned I just get shit all over by the firehouse of fox news b.s and the inability to remember things to refute it. I’m doing everyone a giant disservice by being another example of “a stupid liberal who has no idea what’s going on.”

maximizing growth/metastasis/GDP isn’t healthy as society’s sole practiced value and pursuit.

One of their greatest achievements was brainwashing the country into believing that somehow higher higher higher GDP somehow means a better economy for everyone when it’s literally just tracking business profits…

They’re perfectly ok with the idea that our income doesn’t need to increase at all, but their profit MUST increase at all costs…

Asafum ,

Because in the past they thought they had to care about the law, they know now that they don’t need to do anything other than what the owning class wants, but they must drop the large bombs like this one on a Friday and preferably after another event that will keep the media occupied like say a debate? That way there is as little pushback and attention to it as possible…

Asafum ,

a masterclass trash talker. And that is really what throws Trump off and throws him into obscene tantrums where his composure is lost and he comes off like a whining loser: when he’s been taken down a peg by someone else. Nothing sticks deeper in his craw.

That’s an interesting point, I was actually kind of annoyed that Biden was insulting Trump as I saw it as stooping to his level, but your comment on that does make it seem like a valid strategy.

I don’t think he could win, but for a laugh I’d love to see Hunter Biden replace Joe lol convicted felon vs convicted felon!

Asafum ,

Love our land, loath our society.

The natural beauty of America is amazing, but the people seem to be mostly absolute shit.

Asafum ,

I want a president who has a vision and some form of understanding, but who knows what he doesn’t know and knows how to get that information. I want someone who I know has the best team guiding them and has sound judgment.

I can’t fucking believe this is an impossible ask. :(

Asafum ,

I think it’s for when the law is considered vague, they don’t rely on the “experts” in these positions to give an answer they let the SCOTUS decide now.

What project 2025 would want to do is ensure the day to day operations are kept in a “business friendly” manner too so if they control both I guess it’s just more ways for them to get what they want. :(

Asafum ,

We’re so fucked it’s absolutely insane.

I thought Trump had a chance before, but now… My god Biden embarrassed the shit out of himself… Fuck the goddamn DNC for condemning us by REFUSING to have primaries… Yeah it’s the tradition because usually the incumbent has a chance, but 90472828 year old Biden? Ffs…

Yes Trump is old too but it was plain as day how much more lucid trump is than biden…

Asafum ,

It was a goddamn travesty that there was no fact checking by the button pushers moderators.

Everything was allowed to stand as fact. It was disgusting :(

Asafum ,

I don’t think it has been long enough to have gathered enough data on that. Just watching it myself I could clearly see a low information voter seeing Trump as a more fit choice as Biden struggled to even form sentences :(

Asafum ,

Preaching to the choir, but I’m worried about the ignorant people that simply don’t know that about him. All they see is an old bumbling feeble man vs a “strong man.” :(

Asafum ,

NY isn’t that keen on progressive politics outside NYC. Long Island is an extremely populated part of NY and it’s basically Trumpland and “moderates” out here, more Trump the more east you go. “Greater” NY is also pretty red aside from the larger cities. It doesn’t really surprise me that much unfortunately :(

Asafum ,

There’s some stupid adherence to precedent where we don’t primary an encumbant because in the past it didn’t work out well. So now we shut our eyes and pretend he isn’t absolutely one of the worst candidates ever because we refuse to primary him.

Asafum ,

One-fucking-hundred percent.

Warren was my choice over Bernie for strategic value even though I like Bernie more. If we didn’t have explicitly Republican propaganda outlets I think conservatives would have been more comfortable with her too as she was once a Republican and understands business law.

Hell she literally wrote the book on my, and others, biggest issue “the two income trap” where society has defined economic success by “family income” instead of individual incomes. People like myself suffer because we’re perpetually single so we only have one income. Family income says everything is rosy because it’s now 2 incomes. :(

Asafum ,

Lol I KNEW HE WAS ALREADY DEAD!! That picture was taken in the cooler fridge where they keep his body in storage in-between sessions of weekend at Bernies style puppeteering.

I can’t believe I have to vote for an actual corpse…

Asafum ,

And in 2 years they’ll move to 3 tiers, free with ads, paid with slightly less ads and even more expensive than before but no ads…

Asafum ,

These better be fake, because I’m so unbelievably disgusted at the hundreds of thousands of jobs of all professions at all experience levels offering $17-22/hr.

It’s fucking disgusting.

Asafum ,

I was moving to Florida with a friend and he warned me about his friends girlfriend who would also be living with us. “She’s a slut, she’ll try to sleep with anyone.” So one day after being there a wile I’m woken up by someone climbing on my bed and I think “goddamn it not this” and immediately jump up.

It was that guys hot sister that was into me until I bugged out there…

:(

Asafum ,

It was so long ago I don’t remember exactly what I said but things just seemed awkward after that. I tried to show interest after that but it was never reciprocated lol

Asafum ,

I mean it’s hard not to be when we’re essentially 8 people in a trenchcoat pretending to be social media lol

It has actually made me feel really awkward knowing just how small this place is. I have this tension between not being able to shut the fuck up and also not wanting to be “known” (maybe in the biblical sense though lol)

Everyone has “that movie” they’re kind of ashamed to admit they’ve never watched. The Big Lebowski is that movie for me. I know I really need to make time for it one of these centuries…

Asafum ,

Not this exact reason, but yeah I hate most people I encounter in games so I stay away from multiplayer stuff, which sucks because that’s all devs want to make anymore…

'It's Horrifying': West Virginia Judge Revokes Bond of White Couple Who Reportedly Kept Their Black Adopted Children Locked In Shed In 'Despicable' Conditions with No Water, Lights and Little Food (atlantablackstar.com)

A white couple from rural West Virginia is back behind bars after a judge revoked the initial bond and raised it to $500,000 apiece — more than double the amount they faced last year when police arrested the pair on charges of locking their adopted Black children in a barn and forcing them to work as “slaves.”...

Asafum ,

You don’t get it guys, Racism Is Dead! Republicans have said that over and over, the supreme court even did away with voting rights act protections for the south because racism is over and no one mistreats black people anymore!

/s :(

Asafum ,

And I fucking hate it. It just incentivizes not allowing more housing for those that need it because MuH PrOpErTy VaLuE!!

Fucking greed everywhere…

Asafum ,

Does a goosebump really make a sound though?

Asafum ,

From what I understand bibi won’t let this end until he’s safe from prosecution for his previous crimes (that I don’t know enough about) and supposedly the law protects him as long as the country is in a state of war. That would also explain their desire to expand their conflict into Lebanon and continue to be in a state of war.

Selfish mother fucker. Gets thousands upon thousands of people killed so he can get himself a “get out of jail free” card…

Asafum ,

Microsoft is doing an amazing job keeping me off selling windows 11!

Keep up the great work!

Guess it’s time for Linux and for me to give up gaming :/

Asafum ,

Yeah but I’m a weirdo that actually likes early access games and random indie stuff that rarely works with Linux so a large part of what I like won’t work.

Also star citizen… lol

Asafum ,

Duh? We know already know this. Their main concern is staying in office for as long as possible and see how badly they can fuck up the country. much they can grow their own bank accounts.

The destruction of the country is just a byproduct of their greed. :(

Asafum ,

We can’t do that or Republicans will never have control of government.

I mean that’s a good thing, and we’ll finally have some semblance of representation, but it’s exactly why we can’t do it. :(

Asafum ,

Isn’t this just going to be “great recession 2 office building bugaloo?”

Part 1 was the great recession caused by sub prime loaning assholes and combined debt packages.

Similar story different players apparently…

“if you owe the bank $100 that’s your problem, if you owe the bank $932,514,634 that’s their problem.”

Asafum ,

Oh they don’t need to do that, we’ve already determined that some companies don’t have to suffer the consequences of their own actions because they’re “tOo BiG tO fAiL” so society has to suffer the consequences.

Just remember: when they win, they win. When they lose we lose and they still win.

Our form of capitalism is a fucking joke. Socialism for the wealthy owners and rugged individualism for the poors.

Asafum ,

we get to spend time arguing about gay books in the library

Congratulations! You’ve pointed to the exact reason why we’re stuck arguing about gay books! If right wingers didn’t have absolute bat shit social issues to bitch about they’d be joining us in bitching about the real issues we face!

Can’t have that! Propagandists, sing me a tune!

Asafum ,

CEO: share!? profit? SHARE PROFIT!?! SOMEONE CALL SECURITY WE HAVE A COMMUNIST!!!

Asafum ,

No no no, it’s not an issue at all!

It’s Working As Intended* as in there’s a demand (guaranteed by schools) so we charge whatever the fuck we want! Supply is also high? Following supply and demand as theory is for chumps! Supply and demand theory is for us to use as we see fit and to ignore the aspects we don’t like!

Asafum ,

Damn, foiled again! :P

Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day? (old.lemmy.world)

Disclaimer: I am not trolling, I am an autistic person who doesn’t understand so many social nuances. Also I am from New Hampshire (97% white), so I just don’t have any close African-American friends that I am willing to risk asking such a loaded question.

Asafum ,

Not that I needed another reason to point at racists and call them a bunch of fucked up morons, but goddamn they are bunch of fucked up morons.

People are literally killing people who’s ancestors adapted to more exposure to direct sunlight than theirs did. I can’t not see it in just that simple way and think “what the actual fuck is wrong with people?” You can’t even say it’s a culture thing they don’t like, because they don’t actually know the people they cast hate at other than the color of their skin. It’s absolute insanity.

Asafum ,

Shit! If I had more than 2 braincells I’d be in trouble.

Asafum ,

It’s very much a selective thing. Humans vs meat machines.

I’m a meat machine. The factory I work in regularly gets over 90°F in the summer and being on long Island its also humid as fuck like 75%+.

I checked the NY state laws on factory conditions and wouldn’t you know it, the fucking laws are vague as shit to allow essentially anything… “All factories must maintain a reasonable temperature and humidity.” That’s the fucking law. “Reasonable” is not defined anywhere in that law… I contacted my business cuck "R"epresentative about what that law means or how we determine what is reasonable, and yet again wouldn’t you know, he never responded…

Asafum ,

That’s actually the area where I went to learn HVAC! I’m much more east now past Riverhead actually, I couldn’t deal with the traffic lol

Happy cake day apparently! Lol

Asafum ,

Fucking seriously… I make $30/hr and can’t even dream about buying in my area… Anywhere in my area… Hours and hours away, still not even close. The closest area to me that I could consider is roughly 6 hours away…

Asafum ,

“An influx of immigrants in the country also isn’t helping the housing affordability equation as it has in the past.”

Go fuck yourself business insider. The ol’ “America is full” bit is it? The Great Enemy: the poor immigrant who is going to steal your piss poor paying job, but somehow also “steals” your super fucking overpriced house that even natural born citizens with full time jobs can’t afford.

Get fucked.

Asafum ,

I would think that failure just exposes points of improvement. They failed before, but now they know how to succeed. :(

Asafum ,

I hope you’re right!

Asafum ,

They’re ramping up to get to 1.0 so I wouldn’t be surprised to see more of this as we get closer. They can’t be too harsh though because they still need people to test and find these kinds of exploits, they probably just banned the people that accumulated tons and tons of money doing it.
