You see how that's a problem that the government cant agree on making things better for people but can agree on ban something millions enjoy so their donors can have more control over the data of that thing right?

Its not exactly a great example of democracy when we can't raise wages when the price of groceries is rapidly increasing but we can ban apps where kids make 15 second clips of them dancing.

Yes and advocacy groups have sued the states that are not in compliance on larger points of the ADA, like labor conditions. Guess how much media attention those suits get?

Every day I read a new headline than make me feel like stealing is the closest any of us laymen can get to justice against these types of people. I hope one day massive crowds just take a run on whichever stores start to do this.

Im sorry but as someone who works in the field of disability this makes me irate. We have whole states who are not in compliance with the ADA when it comes to employment and even accessible enternces to state and federal buildings and yet the federal government is powerless to stop them, but we can use the ADA to sue coffee shops? Sure it's a good thing I guess but the larger and more important provisions of that legislation continue to be overlooked and unimplemented despite lawsuits filed against states only seeking conscent decrees, but we can make a big scene of suing for non diary creamers.

The US loves a fascist when they're the ones installing them.

Protip, not talking about the problems is also not a solution. Seems you just like your silence. Half the articles posted on lemmy have no solutions presented, yet we don't find people saying things like this on those. I wonder why.

Also on the face of it its a ridiculous asertation. Should people only post articles about problems they themselves have solutions for? Because that sounds wholly stupid.

Almost like they use buzzwords to obfuscate the real meaning of the ideas that threaten their hold on power.

But Biden made it so only the companies that operate close enough to us to actually abuse the data can get it! Thats so much better than countries and companies who have no means to influence my life outside of Facebook ads having it duhhh. Because PATRIOTISM!

He was a mid StarCraft 2 player who said funny things when he got mad, I have no idea how it got to this. He was never funny on purpose, it was funny watching him be salty and now hes some political commentator.

They're not American, the US government would sooner ban them than levy consequences on the American company.

Just saying, I bet Boeings lied more about things that caused humans to die than the friend of the family has so if its he said she said, I think she's got the superior credibility. She just doesn't have superior profits.

Only hearing from family when they deem it important enough to pick up a phone and call or text me directly is one of the benefits of not having social media presence with non any anonymous accounts for me.
