Well if every vehicle becomes autonomous then isn't that just a large scaled high speed train?

so we learned

It sounds like you were like most people in the western world - uneducated on nutrition, cooking and basic life skills. This isn't a jab at you this is just the world that we live in. Most people don't have a good understanding of these things so the go with what is easy, fast and feels inexpensive. This drives obesity.

It's great that you took the initiative to learn home economics and it sounds like it has helped you and your family. Many others have not gotten to the "so we learned" stage yet for whatever reason.

But Americans actually do like more socialist policies. There is a reason why Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare is known as the third rail of politics.

Harris' solution to the housing problem really annoyed me. There are so many other more effective ways to go about making housing more affordable but she just ignored them. This, in my uneducated opinion, would have also motivated more voters.

In a more general sense, the mainstream Democrats have always had a difficult time with messaging which is nothing new but really showed itself in this past election.

Democrats think that if you just spend time educating the voting population on all the good their policies will do then the voter will make a rational decision in the voting booth. And in the exit polling that is exactly who voted for Harris, highly educated people that like that kind of lecture type of politicking. But most people don't vote like that - they don't want a professor in the oval office they want a cheerleader.

I'm hoping for a removal of putin from power and the Russian people get a chance to create a more democratic system where they actually have people in power that are genuinely want to help the population.

This would be an interesting behind the scenes fight because I can't see other billionaires just letting musk dictate to them what they will and won't do.

That's great! do you have any names of these PACs ?

I think that is a great idea - I would donate to a PAC that promoted the election of progressive candidates. I'm sure many on Lemmy would do the same.

I was going to post something similar. I've seen this type of article since 2016. Nothing comes from it.

I'm not really sure what's the point of articles like this.

Is it to create false hope that something will change?

Is it to just get non-MAGA people to click the link? <--- Probably this one

or something else.

What would be a good article would be

"Thousands of MAGA voters march on Capitol Hill in protest to the trump administration's handling of the economy."

Most open to making money at the expense of security.

"“What they were telling me was counterintuitive to everything I’d heard at Microsoft about ‘customer first,’” Harris said. “Now they’re telling me it’s not ‘customer first,’ it’s actually ‘business first.’”

DiCola, Harris’ then-supervisor, told ProPublica the race to dominate the market for new and high-growth areas like the cloud drove the decisions of Microsoft’s product teams. “That is always like, ‘Do whatever it frickin’ takes to win because you have to win.’ Because if you don’t win, it’s much harder to win it back in the future. Customers tend to buy that product forever.”

From their about page:

ProPublica is an independent, nonprofit newsroom that produces investigative journalism with moral force. We dig deep into important issues, shining a light on abuses of power and betrayals of public trust — and we stick with those issues as long as it takes to hold power to account.

With a team of more than 150 dedicated journalists, ProPublica covers a range of topics including government and politics, business, criminal justice, the environment, education, health care, immigration, and technology. We focus on stories with the potential to spur real-world impact. Among other positive changes, our reporting has contributed to the passage of new laws; reversals of harmful policies and practices; and accountability for leaders at local, state and national levels.

Investigative journalism requires a great deal of time and resources, and many newsrooms can no longer afford to take on this kind of deep-dive reporting. As a nonprofit, ProPublica’s work is powered primarily through donations. The vast bulk of the money we spend goes directly into world-class, award-winning journalism. We are committed to uncovering the truth, no matter how long it takes or how much it costs, and we practice transparent financial reporting so donors know how their dollars are spent.

ProPublica was founded in 2007–2008 with the belief that investigative journalism is critical to our democracy. Our staff remains dedicated to carrying forward the important work of exposing corruption, informing the public about complex issues, and using the power of investigative journalism to spur reform.
