    Wow, really Lemmy? Fuck bothsidesism. Fuck horseshoe theory leftists. Democrats suck, but one side is way fucking worse and causing way more damage. Would bet my life OP sat out the last election and is the literal reason why we’re here in the first place. God I hate tankies.







  • It’s like, is that law poorly written and unworkable? Sure. But social media is straight up destroying children’s psyches. The depression and suicidal ideation is off the charts among youth, and people can handwring all they want, but social media is and has been the problem. It’s not up for debate. Any law that limits social media use among kids is good by me at this point. Someone needs to do something, and I don’t care what their motivations are, I love seeing lawmakers hold these god-awful companies’ feet to the fire.


  • These deaths are policy choices by lawmakers who value ‘business’ over people’s lives. There is no justification whatsoever to licensing someone who drove drunk and killed someone.

    This isn’t fucking hard. It’s simple: if you drive drunk and hurt/kill someone, you permanently lose your license to drive. Forever. No exceptions.

    One of the main reasons people oppose these types of consequence is for business: people rely on cars to get to work, so if you ban a bunch of people from driving, employees can’t get to work, which is bad for business.

    It’s fucking sick. I’m so tired of living in a country where lawmakers put economic interests over people’s lives every. single. time. If it’s ever safety vs money—money always win every time. On so many fundamental levels, government in the US moves farther and farther away from serving the people, this is an example of that, and I’m fucking done. We need new governments; we need a new social contract.
