#Harris says she'll cut #taxes for the #MiddleClass.
#Trump says he's going to institute a national sales #tax.
Average #American voter: “I'm voting for Trump! If Harris wins, she'll raise my taxes!!!”
What fresh brainwashed illogical hell is this?!

Reined in how? He clearly takes his orders from Putin, not us. We can't assassinate him; he's got the best national security apparatus in the world. We can't stop giving him weapons or oppose Israel militarily without handing Trump the election on a silver platter.
We appear to be doomed.
The only reason you think most Americans don't support Netanyahu is because Biden has yet to incur their wrath by rejecting him and his regime.
The Biden administration are not idiots, nor are they ill-informed. They must've calculated that they would lose far more votes than they'd gain by rejecting Netanyahu. I have no reason to doubt the correctness of their calculation.
But yes, Biden is clearly cornered by Netanyahu's American supporters.
If that is done, Netanyahu will publicly scream that the Biden/Harris administration has turned antisemitic and betrayed the people of Israel. Many American voters will believe him and, in rage, vote for Trump. Game over.
And now #Biden / #Harris are caught between a rock (pro #Palestine / #Lebanon voters refusing to vote) and a hard place (pro-Israel voters who would regard disarmament of #Israel as an act of #antisemitism and refuse to vote).
#Trump and #Netanyahu are the true enemies of both groups, but they don't seem to realize it. 🤦♂️
#Cryptocurrency is a threat to national sovereignty and the wealth of the common people, and should have been outlawed a decade ago.
Now we will all pay dearly for our leaders' negligence.
Well, so far this problem seems completely impossible to solve, so with all due respect, that's not good enough. A serious proposal is needed. One that even the experts in the Biden administration haven't thought of.
What would you have Biden do? Cease weapons shipments to Israel? Many Americans would consider that an act of antisemitism. Harris would lose even more votes.
There's a reason America has been helpless to rein in Netanyahu, and I don't see you or anyone else proposing a solution that has a snowball's chance in hell of success.
If all it takes to extract all your data is to scan a barcode, then your device is hideously insecure, and it's not the barcode that you need to destroy.
There are two road intersections around here that I have named.
One, the Intersection of Doom, is a huge, confusing intersection that's covered in merciless red-light cameras. Sometimes the cameras flash even if you've done nothing wrong, and you won't know until a month later whether you've gotten a ticket.
The other, the Intersection of Death, is a three-way with no light, and the road curves such that one approach can't see the other two until it's almost too late to avoid a collision.
My mom got a new #phone.
There was a time when a new phone meant cool and exciting new features, but it seems those days are over now. The only thing particularly new about it is that it has more “AI”, and there's nothing cool or exciting about that.
How about more battery life? A physical keyboard? Multiple USB ports? You know, features that would actually entice me to buy a new phone? Is that really too much to ask?
Interesting thought.
I foresee a problem, though. If you must join a co-op to receive care, and can only join one co-op at a time, then the vast majority of care providers are unavailable to you because they belong to a different co-op.
Moreover, you can't leave your co-op for another one without leaving your entire care team behind and assembling a new one from scratch. You're locked in.
It's like US health care's “out of network” problem, except even worse.
Well, now you've got me curious. What, in your estimation, does sane health care look like?
No. They both know. Trump doesn't want it because it's unprofitable. Harris doesn't dare propose it because she'll lose the election if she does.
It is the American people who don't have the first clue about what sane health care would look like. And that's also true of the populations of Canada and the UK, which used to have it, and continue to elect politicians who promise to destroy it.
I can't believe our species has survived this long. We clearly don't deserve it.
Billionaires trying to talk a recession into existence, like W did in 2000, so that Trump will win, give them their precious tax cuts, and halt all antitrust enforcement.
Don't be fooled.
If you are doing #Java #programming, and you've downloaded a jar of #Javadoc documentation for some library, #Firefox can directly display it without unpacking the jar!
Just prepend `jar:file://`, and append `!/index.html`, to form a URL.
For example, if the jar is located at:
/home/you/.m2/repository/com/example/example-library/1.0/example-library-1.0-javadoc.jar
Then use this URL:
jar:file:///home/you/.m2/repository/com/example/example-library/1.0/example-library-1.0-javadoc.jar!/index.html
We didn't have none of these new-fangled light-emitting doohickeys when I was young. If you wanted to see a picture on a screen back in my day, you'd point a 27-kilovolt death ray at your face, which came with a screen attached in front of it, and the death ray would light up the screen. This contraption somehow didn't kill us. Usually.
Having trouble figuring out which politicians are lying? Here's a helpful tip.
When a politician tells you that a certain group of people (such as #LGBT people) must be avoided because their way of life will infect you or your children, you're being lied to. That's not how humans work. There is no such thing as an infectious way of life. It might reveal something in you that you didn't know was there, or you might consciously choose to live that way, but it can't infect you.
I dream of a #society in which everyone is #equal. No hierarchy. No exploitation. No #oppression.
Achieving this goal is not going to happen quickly. Overcoming the hierarchists who oppose such a project is not going to be easy. It will likely take centuries for humanity to make the necessary cultural changes and technological advances.
This is not a good reason to burn civilization to the ground and try to build utopia from its ashes. That will not work. #Accelerationism is foolish.
Building utopia requires patience. So much patience that you carry on knowing that the project will almost certainly not be completed in your or even your children's lifetime.
It is the ultimate project. It's going to take a while. There are no shortcuts to success.
There are plenty of shortcuts to failure, however.
