It needed those things brought in through the back door because the code was a steaming pile of shit security wise and would have been rejected at the front door.

What pray tell am I in a blue state supposed to do. Our system is effectively run by 1% of the electorate too stupid to have a fixed opinion in competative states

Likewise nobody is owed good feelings by users

If they can’t do anything better than jellyfin which is fully free open source I don’t see why they should expect money. If Photoshop were paid for gimp they certainly wouldn’t deserve anything.

I think the bad feelings are by virtue of taking away something that WAS free. This is just basic human psych people are loss averse.

He mishandled covid leading to lots of extra death and when they wouldn’t elect him again he organized a lynch mob to storm the capitol and we all watched both crisis play out live on TV. None the less 94% of those who consider themselves Republicans voted for Trump in 2024. They are absolutely incapable of learning.

If we literally become the nazis and round up and murder millions before Trump offs himself in a bunker they will find a way to blame it on the Democrats and make Trump the victim then vote for someone who venerates him. We literally can’t fix them nor expect them to be fixed. We can only work on the folks in the middle the famous persuadable voter eg those too stupid to have a clear position.

As much as he lies there were LOTS of things he wasn’t lying about. Mostly incredibly bad and crazy shit that he said he was going to do and is as we speak trying to do!

Also it is bold to assume this won’t ultimately effect everyone. Mismanagement of covid certainly did

nose to broad, face to round, brows to big mouth too wide

Its not being diminished you are diminishing doctors who save dying children after 20 years of intensive education with driving a bus

Wherein your kind is literally ideologically AND the grandchild of our literal enemy as opposed to a certain skin color

It’s not nepotism. Nobody is suggesting hiring people based on their personal relationship to decision makers. It is about preferring those who don’t have any ties that could be exploited including but not limited to family ties that could complicate loyalty.

We have this mess in America because we are a nation that on average worships wealth and hates intellectualism whilst allowing an insane amount of wealth to interfere with politics to the point where the country is arranged to enrich the wealthy at the expense of everyone else leading to widespread disaffection which has been turned by a poisoned media to hate and blame for the other. For people smarter than the mass of the average. For immigrants. For the poor in need of welfare.

We have hired a despot because he implies that we can bask in his reflected glory and help ourselves up on the backs of this other.

In short we aren’t hear because we don’t allow the grandchildren of enemy spies with our most secret data.

It’s pretty clear that japanese internment camps were illegal and morally reprehensible. There is a vast difference between not allowing someone to take a tiny number of highly secure jobs with the government entirely legally and imprisoning people and herding them into a camp like animals contravening their rights and the law. It’s not a slippery slope its standing on the edge of the grand canyon and jumping in.

Being a child of an immigrant isn’t kinda depends on where from and whether we are at war with them

Nonsense. Its normal for a small number of highly secure roles to go only to people whose loyalty is beyond and known doubt. This means if you have questonable family you can only be a CEO, scientist, dentist welder or race car driver or you know all the other jobs other than say head of the NSA or part of the team with access to all our secrets

National security isn’t fair because its more important than being fair and those who are for any reasons suspect are free to do any of the other hundreds of millions of jobs.

People are absolutely suspect because of their associations.

The southern and conservative trash has brought us first the confederacy, the folks that supported Hitler in WW2, Nixon who said the president was the law whilst ordering crimes, Reagan who sold drugs to fund death squads, Bush Jr who lied to start a war and normalized torture, now Trump.

Conservationism in America has been on the wrong side of history since monarchists supported a British Kings’s right to rule the colonies.

Jesus. I know I’m correcting them and not you but come the fuck on! 92% of able bodied adults on medicaid work and you can’t buy prepared food from a food truck with food stamps. You have to make your own sandwiches. Theoretically a food truck selling only cold sandwiches COULD take EBT in some circumstances…they don’t for obvious reasons.

It’s not a minor point to misunderstand the entire issue. It doesn’t mean its not important but it’s good to understand the exact nature of the problem.

Almost all the ones who can work are working. The people who will lose insurance are those who can’t work in any case

Actually you can get free health insurance for a family of two if living on 500 a week at least in some places. Full time at 12.50 or 25 hours at 20 an hour or anything in between. If that seems like a lot consider 2 people can easily eat $500 in food at present prices, rent can easily cost $1200 for a shitty apartment in a shitty neighborhood. yada yada. This is basically about nothing to live on.

Notably many families have one worker because one has health problems or is needed to do childcare because the amount they would earn is actually less than childcare alone let alone benefits + childcare expenses. Many folks who are disabled in fact receive basically no help of any kind if the other partner works or if they cannot spend years fighting it out in court.

Lots of people already living marginal lives will be effected.

Another example consider older relatives too young to receive medicare but not employable because of some combination of age and health. They might live with relatives but rely on government health insurance.

Another yet consider people who who living with relations providing childcare and relying on the government for health care. They effectively ARE working for board but making them try to compete with 20 year olds to work at McD will likely result in damage to the family and the person who will lose health care if they can’t work or the family who will lose childcare if they can.
