It's been true for decades that Democrats are better for the economy. And it makes sense, because trickle-down economics does nothing but make the rich richer. https://epiacti

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country.

Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community.

THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

“.. China’s latest stance on critical minerals may indicate greater progress
on its own semiconductor ecosystem .. In other words, if the West responds with sanctions related to semiconductors and energy, China
may be more prepared to weather the storm.” 👀

Well deserved! Great movie, worth a re-watch.

It's about time Strange Days finally begins getting the retrospective love and respect it deserves. To me, it's the best pre-Matrix cyberpunk film other than Blade Runner and Robocop, and still better than most cyberpunk films made since.

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing

If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

It's obvious this conversation is not taking the course I thought it would be, so I know how to take a loss and stop. Sincerely, good luck (if you live in the US) with what's coming... Unfortunately, at the end of the day there IS only ONE reality, and no one knows what it is;

Wrong, and yet another strawman. I did learn that the Fairness Doctrine only applied to editorial content and I corrected my argument. A rational person will incorporate the new information and see if the argument holds.

That's a nice epitaph, I'm more optimistic or else... Good luck to you and yours in the coming crisis, and thanks for the nice debate. I did learn some new things and that's always a positive.

I hope the current mess we're in brings responsible change without curtailing rights but it ain't looking good. And yes, a better scientific approach to education that encourages critical thinking and epistemology would be a great start.

Again I'm not advocating for government censorship and you bring good examples of attempted overreach when certain groups have been in power. My argument is that when the media is spreading lies, call them "alternate facts", that bring proven harmful effects there should be consequences.
