I think most people’s issue is that all she’s ever done is hint, and now that there is less reason than ever to hint, that’s all she continues to do.
This case needs someone to step up, corroborate the documents, and speak out so some of these things can be unredacted. She, as a billionaire, is best equipped, but chose to keep hinting on a podcast tour instead, and in the current climate, that makes people suspicious.
If renewable energy had the lobbyist capital of non-renewable energy, things would change. Until then, very little.
For the rich and powerful, it’s not about making the world better, it’s about making my world better, and getting paid in oil money does that well enough.
Easy.
There is a huge portion of the country, about 1/3, that knows they aren’t living the American dream, but they work hard and don’t understand why.
Then, someone tells them something slightly true. That there’s not enough pie to go around (semi-true), and that the reason there’s not enough pie is all the immigrants and freeloaders who aren’t working and are taking handouts (false).
What they aren’t told is there could be enough pie to go around, if the top 1% was willing to share. They aren’t. And they now control ~35% of wealth in the USA.
And then the top 1% uses that extra capital to tell that 1/3 of people that their Hispanic neighbor is the problem.
Worst part is I paid for it years ago. Now I have to pay again? Nope. Great while it lasted, but it’s buggy garbage now.
The irony disappears slightly when the whole slave liberation arc was literally Confederate propaganda that was so distasteful and irrelevant to the plot, it was cut from the movies.
The house elves love being slaves. It’s the natural order of things.
Nah, this is things like most Tarantino films, particularly Pulp Fiction, where it’s a good movie, but every 17 year old you meet who loves it only loves it because everyone else loves it.
That’s because the goal isn’t to sell you a car, it’s to saddle you with a $50K debt obligation they get to sell off.
Obviously Jississippi.
By the time I was old enough to really appreciate Dilbert, Scott Adam’s was far enough removed from the American office that it was no longer funny.
We can and will do so much worse.
Yes.
Better question, how much body hair is required before shampoo becomes the default for everywhere?
The left is exhausted. Democratic leadership is uninterested in fighting, and the electorate is angry, but has been angry for so long they’re disconnecting to stay sane.
I don’t know. It depends on how you classify informed. I’d bet they, on average, spend more time glued to a “news” source, so they’re being informed, 24/7, just not with truth.
Most people I talk to like this, in the analogy, used to be firefighters, but realized for every fire they put out, some literal idiot lights 3 more, and to them, they end up feeling like they’re the only one who cares. Pun intended, but they’re literally burnt out.
Not on any dating apps, but people I know who describe themselves as non-political are just so sick of it they can’t bear to talk about it anymore, which I totally get. Especially since any good discussion always ends up ruined by someone who’s very “political” but only gets their news from Facebook or something worse.
Chinese government controls Chinese companies. American companies control American government.

Guys, I’ve cracked it.
System clock in the top right corner.
I feel like accidentally commenting there is a Lemmy right of passage. It got me, and continues to almost get me. They generally have good discussion.
You can also casually remind people that more Republicans live in California than Texas, which usually makes their head explode. It’s an enormous state, with a huge economy, with tons and tons of people.
