@GottaLaff@ErickaSimone I muted them as well after reading the exchange. Her presentation is exactly why Kamala lost. Whether it's an exclusive focus on racism or Gaza or hate Anerica first, it's all so dumb and shortsighted. And, it totally misses the point. The "white" folks she's focused on as "the problem" are only part of the problem. Mexican-americans, Muslims, disillusioned youth, christo-fascists, and some African Americans pushed drumpfry-dumpty across the line where it mattered
Nice plan, but it's time to play chicken with the reTHUGliCONs.... Democrats for once should shut down the government. Nobody cares if the party that ultimately shuts it all down is responsible. We're in a situation where they need to force congress to shut down drumpfry-dumpty as well. They need to be clear, concise, and ready to burn the whole thing to the ground the way the other side has. Time to fight fire with fire!
As an engineer, it has been my experience that you can pay H1B visa engineers less than a citizen. Startups rely on this, not just for the ability to keep expenses low, but diversity actually brings more imaginative and critical thinking to the brainstorming table!
I'll boost this because I think everyone should get a peek behind the hood of these things. I don't know about Bluesky, but if it's driven by advertising, I will not touch it. The beauty of Mastodon is no ads. I'm sick to death of people trying to sell shit. If I need something, I know where to look. I don't need absolute garbage shoved in my face incessantly by folks only interested in our money, not our issue. To that end, I say fuck that aspect of capitalism.
