The people saying they haven’t heard US citizens oppose what their govt is doing, just are trying to hear it. MuRicA bAd! No, American politicians are bad. American people are being disenfranchised by the wealthy, just like in Russia or China. I dont think all Russians or Chinese are bad people. I’ve worked with some wonderful Russian and Chinese people.

Its all been lies as long as Ive been alive. True integrity in journalism has always been rare and an uphill battle. As soon as you come to terms with the fact that monied interests are never going to stop manipulating media, its easier to not take any of it too seriously.

You design semiconductors for a living? Or just read articles?

You are a bit out of date. I cant say what I know, but tsmc is just one player now. Semiconductor industry is about to make some jumps.

Great point. Maybe the legal observer and whistle approach, coupled with a de-arresting strategy would work? Im just throwing ideas out there. We need to be thinking and acting now to be ready come Nov.

Im thinking some sort of open carry “protectors of the vote” group needs to be formed.

Vance said absolute, not qualified. Even more bananas. I remember reading children’s books about government that would have been enough to realize this isnt how shit is supposed to work. Fucks sake.

You dont have a relationship with Costco. Trusting a company is like trusting an appliance. Eventually, it’s going to let you down.

I mean, this was sort of a rhetorical question, but in case it wasn’t clear before, I believe trusting a corporation is a silly thing to do.

No one that works at Costco is looking out for you, and if an employee did, that would likely mean not following the instructions they are given by the corporation.

Name a corporation you can trust?
