By design. The duopoly of American politics is firmly controlled by the rich, they stir up drama to get the public’s approval for their side hustles.

You guys have money??
I’ve been working my arse off my entire adult life and have nothing to show for it but debt and long term illness.
I’m self employed and have been reducing my hours worked per day cause I found I was more effective with a good rest and without forcing myself to work those extra 1-2 hours each day. Crazy hey.
If right wingers can watch two seasons of Reacher and be fans until this moment then they’re just too dumb for life.
Literally both seasons baddies were stereotypical right wing criminals.
Hey that’s not fair - he invents his own narrative about reality all the time.
Maybe a victim of inbreeding? The rich do like to keep it in the family.
Yeah that’s actually a very good suggestion.
Also interested in Germany as even diminished today it’s got a lot more in line with my and my partner’s values - namely sausage, beer and being anti Nazi.
Show me where in the Western world / developed world where to go… please.
I’m in Australia and it’s just as bad here. Totally insane bullshit being normalised by a comatose media and populist scoundrels.
I miss the days when conservatives at least had a sense of real nationalism. Now they’ll commit treason and openly support foreign enemies like Putin and no one bats an eye.
I really hate this venture capitalist led tech startup culture. I would like to see an engineer and expertise led tech startup culture. It’s infuriating to see people putting the cart before the horse for “smrt ekonomikz” meanwhile genuine good ideas go by the wayside, unfunded.
Imagine if some of this money just went into the open source community. Whose work powers most of the modern world.
I know I’m a just a dreamer but I’m not the only one.
Be cool if we had a browser extension that automatically told Google to filter out results from these sites specifically
The Republican party are traitors to the United States and the western world.
Problem is there’s no expertise in house. The Australian government is currently scrambling to build in-house expertise with regards to project management, technical insight and recruitment. They’ve been haemorrhaging cash just trying to do those basic things via external agencies, it’s a shit show of wasted taxpayer dollars. And the contracts are only available to big firms whose owners went to school with whatever government is in power… very cool system!
I look frequently as I am a developer that works on government sites lol
This is just a failure in government/governance.
There is literally an opportunity for every nation in the world to run it’s own social media service as a hub for government services, alerts etc. If a couple of them did it open source it could be a world standard for government. Even now the wealthiest nations are scrambling to do something like this but it’s too little, too late.
And even when they figure out software/process there’s no government infrastructure that can compete with the private sector. Amazon in particular are a scary one to me - the amount of sensitive data governments around the world casually chuck into S3 is going to end very badly for a lot of people.
We need governments to get serious about digital infrastructure and security, in the same way they ensure food security, sanitation. Digital capability is just not negotiable anymore, it’s vital.
I think humour is a key part of what separates drag from just regular performance. The artist isn’t afraid to make fun of themselves and just have fun.
