God our government is so fucking useless for anything that might actually help people.

this is a direct consequence of the Supreme Court overturning the Chevron deference back in June. the appeals court has to apply the law. so you know who to blame.

expect more cases like this in coming years...

Sarcastically speaking, if they want white only public bathrooms, that would be interesting. On the one hand people gave up their lives for us to have the freedom to go in the same places as white people. On the other hand... Its public restrooms!

This isn't "our government" these are the oligarch's meatbags purchased for surprisingly low dollar amounts. These men (and women that silently stand next to them until they are told they are allowed to speak) are cowards and traitors. They are not "our government"

Your post is the right energy, wrong message.

It's by design: the rich know how easily "representatives" can be bought.

It's currently not fill with people who want to help "prople". It currently is setup to help corporate America only at this point. At the expense of your rights.

You know, in Germany there are some (we call them Reichsbürger ~ Empire Citizens) that believe the allied installed a puppet government in Germany and we are actually a GmbH (equivalent to US LLCs according to Wikipedia) called the Bundesrepublik Deutschland GmbH and a kind of proof should be that are ID cards are called "Personalausweis" which could be taken as Personal (eng. Employee) and Ausweis (eng. Identification).

The US basically does all of the Corpo things those conspiracy nuts see into the German government.
From the BS corp politics down to the office rumors.

Sounds a lot like American sovereign citizens. SovCits believe America is a corporation that was set up on top of the Articles of Confederation, (which was the precursor to the American Constitution). They basically believe that they can refuse to do business with the “corporation” (government) and be able to break any laws that aren’t written in the Articles of Confederation.

It’s where the “I’m not driving, I’m traveling” memes come from, because the articles of confederation mentioned a right to freely travel. So the SovCits think they can drive without a valid license or vehicle registration, which leads to lots of police dashcam footage of SovCits getting tased during traffic stops when they become irate or try to flee.

Basically the US equivalent.
Afaik they (try to) have their own IDs, car license plates and many more things.
But they are also dangerous folks as they like to arm themselves with guns (which are obviously uncommon to have as a regular citizen).

Technically speaking every country is a company and government is supervisory board elected by citizens that are owners that pay wages that are called tax. Just the purpose of country establishement is different or used to be different before 21th century. Right now the differentce is not so much visible as it was 100 or even 1000 years ago where people that were government leaders (kings, princes, lords, army generals) fought with people for independence and human rights. Right now elected people are no different than influencers or actors. They just do stuff to get to the table, not more not less.

I believe we call them Corporate-Americans these days, they're legally people.

One could go for a hundred years and not touch this shit. But nah. Some dirtbag judge asshole actively working to fuck us all over.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

That's because they're not even trying to help people, except people who can pay.
