Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

A lot of these states have had Republican control of their legislatures for decades. Why exactly are their governments inefficient?
Hope their voters suffer.
California does a DOGE
"Would you look at that. All the wasteful spending happens when we send money to Washington DC."
turns off the spigot
You know what, red states?
Go for it. See what happens. I want you to do it. I want you to see what happens. I want your citizens to experience what happens.
I want the citizens who didn’t vote for you to fucking leave (spoiler alert: that’s gonna be a disproportionate amount of the more intelligent side of your citizenry).
I want the citizens who did vote for you to be alarmed and shocked and dismayed and say things like “who could have dreamed this would happen?”, because, as law enforcement loves to say: ignorance is not a defense.
Fuck around; find out. I hope the leopards enjoy your faces. Fucking imbeciles.
We’ve already seen what happens. Ever driven on the roads in Louisiana? Seen the education and literacy stats for Mississippi and Alabama?
I want the citizens who didn’t vote for you to fucking leave
Move to a purple or close to purple state and turn it blue.
They'll just blame everything on the dems and immigrants
You know that license doesn’t do anything, right?
Yeah I've always found it weird, like anyone's going to actually listen to that if they're scraping it for content
Doesn't stop me from using it
Then what’s the point? It doesn’t stop scrapers
There doesn't need to be a point for everything (in my opinion)
it would if proven give them rights to seek damages.
No it wouldn’t have.
Licensing isn’t 1 sided. You have to have both parties AGREE to the license.
In this case it’s just text on each message.
The reason OpenAI was able to scrape the internet largely consequence free is because they never agreed to the ToS of the websites, thus they are not bound by those terms.
I agree that it isn’t right or morally correct, but legally it’s okay.
Additionally, by signing up to Lemmy, they grant certain rights and privileges to their instance and others due to agreeing to the license.
In fact, lemmy could make it easier for scrapers, as lemmy will happily deliver content to your instance, simplifying scraping.
Are you adding it manually or is your client adding it automatically? If the latter, what client are you using?
Manually,

"Why did the school close? Now I have to pay for childcare."
"Why haven't they filled this pothole yet?"
"Why haven't they fixed that traffic light yet?"
"Why did they take away my food stamps?"
"Why did they take away my Medicaid?"
Must be those damn immigrants, transgenders, and Democrats.
The thing about it, if you look at it, the wait for the gov to do anything in those states is like double what the blue states have. (looking at time to get permits and the like) So they already are behind in work load, and they wanna kill that.
Yeah the GOP tried that in Michigan in select cities during the Snyder administration using their "Emergency Manager" law. They tried to save money in Flint by switching to a closer water source and then proceeded to cut corners in that transition process. Obviously things went very poorly.
Yeah and their decades of leadership left the roads in shambles yet they have the nerve to bitch about the road work every summer. Maybe they wouldn't have to replace every single overpass if you guys just did regular maintenance in the 90s, 00s and 10s.
Hopefully Whitmer gets all the cash she can from the IRA before it's gutted.
I am loving being ignorant to what you are speaking on as now I am thinking some how the Irish Republican Army is funneling money into MI for some reason.
lol it's the Inflation Reduction Act that was signed while Biden was in office. It included a bunch of funding items, but notably it had money for transportation infrastructure across the nation. Whitmer ran on fixing the roads, but struggled to get funding with the GOP running the state legislature for the first part of her time as governor.
Blue states should do it to and unilaterally cut police budgets and corporate welfare.
It's kind of hilarious since that's literally them just offering to punch themselves in the nuts for street cred.
aimed at making government smaller ~~and more efficient.~~
