Voting participation is public record. I don’t know when it’s published.

Machine code? If you can’t build a circuit to solve your problem it’s a lack of skill.

It’s the new “promotion machine.” The first manager: “I saved this company x dollars using AI, promote me.” The new manager: “I increased productivity by x percent getting rid of AI, promote me.” Repeat.

In the old days the mob would have broke musk’s legs over this

I doubt this is going on “in every county in PA.” The article mentions that many of the 2500 fraudulent applications that were flagged have what looks like the same handwriting. That’s a lot of handwriting for one person. Also the deadline for applications has passed.

It’s almost like the system of “the first Tuesday in November” and “no you can’t have off work” is stupid.

Most people only really care about 2-3 topics in a federal election. People pick the candidate that aligns with what they believe is important. In the 2 party system that almost never changes because each party has a somewhat unified set of beliefs.

Aren’t weeks made up of days?

Sound byte starts at 48:20 for those who want to verify.

At least we’re Free™ or something.

I don’t think anyone should need to own a gun. But I also don’t think owning a gun and talking about it makes you a “gun nut.”

It was somewhat reassuring for the future that the USA can still have a “normal” debate and members of government. There was classic question dodging and some over the top rhetoric but nothing that made me think one of the debaters might actually live in their own fantasy land with no concept of what government is. I tuned in for a few minutes and it was boring in a good way.

“Theyre just so excited they can’t sit still. These people they have to get up and run around. We have the fastest runners. They get up and run and sometimes they leave but they come back they always come back. I met one guy he left and he came back he said “they’re not doing it like you over there. They are not good.” And I said I know.”

I think it is wrong to assume “all doctors are greedy.” ask any child why they want to be a doctor and they’ll tell you “to help people.”

…it’s called triage.

The problem is many Republicans believe the exact opposite. The moment you bring up any form of socialized healthcare they will start rattling off stories of people in Europe having to go to a different country to get treatment. Many citizens of the USA have been conditioned to believe that paying for health insurance gives them priority care compared to an uninsured person and if everyone was the same then they’d lose that priority status. They think that if everyone can get healthcare then they’ll die in a waiting room, and there is no evidence to support that our hospitals will not be able to keep up.

Case and point

The winner take all method is stupid anyway. It leads to less accurate representation of people’s beliefs.

Getting an ad for Harris on a Harris ad feels unnecessary.

It’s very easy to lump anyone in with “the bad group”. If you believe in one conspiracy you’re more like to believe in others.
