Because they are the people who live there, because they make their lives there, because having large percentages of their wealth stripped away by some leech doesn't make them worse or lesser people. Why do we care…
How is that disingenuous? Amazon is as aggressively anti-union as any company out there. This is exactly in line with the platform she was elected on and the things she is saying are exactly what the people in her…
Amazon doesn't give out jobs out of the goodness of their heart. Every person they employ they do so with the goal of making more than it costs to employ that person. So why should they get so much as 1 cent to help…
As a taxpayer I would prefer we didn't give any for profit business so much as a nickel. Part of what's so ridiculous about all this is if you picked 2 places for Amazon to go then NYC and DC would be right near the…
A yes, it's the NIMBY's. Got nothing to do with billion dollar giveaways to trillion dollar corporations. Amazon is just such a benevolent force that they deserve, and Jeff is a philanthropist now. Got nothing to do…
> So marketing to law enforcement is unethical? Yes. The police state is unethical and doing anything to further it is unethical.
> We really need center of the aisle, common sense to be popular again in this country Okay, so left of the democrats. I'd be fine with that. I don't think you know what intersectionality is. Not giving law enforcement…
ICE is as good an example of the police state as anything else.
First off, I disagree. Any scientist should be aware of what they are building. Second, they actively market to law enforcement.
Well now that's the real problem, they don't. They will face no real consequences for this. In fact they will probably fight hard to ensure they can keep making money, no matter the problems, right up until the day…

If the airbags have a problem which causes them to hurt shrapnel into peoples faces you can't fix that with a software update. and why is being able to push updates to heavy machinery that we routinely have moving at…
I was hoping this would be much a critique of the tendency of people to place too much faith in technology, to ignore the human element of solutions, and (among SV types especially) to prize their own goals above all…
They should really just have anyone who asks if they can control the car using an app tossed out.
> Tesla turned the car into a software problem No, they convinced fanboys that they turned it into a software problem. The reality is they are no different than any other auto manufacturer. Being in Silicon Valley…
New York is also really bad about registering people. It's absolutely about a failure to install proper checks on entrenched power.
Except millions more people showed up to vote against Trump, against the republicans, and they got no power to show for it. Voting matters, but the US system is fundamentally broken. That's what happens when you have a…
Except the US was founded on the idea of a limited franchise.
But you should right?
A republic which partially uses representative democracy, but mostly exists to ensure power to the landowning minority. Nowadays it's not about land of course, but it still exists to serve the wants of the powerful and…
Forcing people ot wait hours for voting is a tactic used to discourage voters and more effectively disenfranchise groups you don't want voting. White majority area has 15 minute lines, black majority has 2 hours.
> my state had early voting for weeks so there really isn't a "voting day" issue here. (Georgia). Except for the massive campaigns to disenfranchise voters. Which you didn't bother to mention as a problem. You did…
If any sort of monitors were looking at this election it wouldn't be considered legitimate. Brian Kemp should be in jail for his actions. Actually he never should have been in a position to take these actions. Instead…
No part of the US federal government is representative at this point. The Senate isn't by design, the house isn't because it's been capped, the presidency isn't by design.
Because a democracy and a republic are not mutually exclusive, unless you are talking about direct democracy specifically. China is a republic but not a democracy. Canada is a democracy and not a republic.
