While all these ICE agents are out doing murders, who is making sure their houses don’t mysteriously burn down?

Shits fucked, and you're right to press us (Americans) on taking action. but that 2/5 figure is not a very true look at our demographics. 1. There's a huge contingent of non-voting americans; Some because they're negligent, but plenty of others are children, disenfranchised through bullshit voting laws, non-citizens who contribute greatly but nevertheless can't vote, or prisoners who have done their time but aren't allowed to vote anymore. 2. Identifying parties from polls has always been suspect. 80% of people still willing to identify as republican in a poll support trump, but surely that self-selection bias is massively skewing those results. Would those farmers in the leopards ate my face community still say they're republican in a poll? probably most, but not all who actually did vote republican.

Lots of other completely "doesn't happen here" shit has been happening here. so if i were a degenerate gambler, I'd be putting money on Kalshi or whatever that this dude falls out a window in the next 6 months.

it's probably a little bit of both. idk, i'm not involved and disagree with his politics. but he's a good target for what you'd need to do to change minds because reasonable explanations can get through, but he's been poisoned by whatever cultural influences reagan imposed on his stupid little kid mind; believes in trickle down myth and such.

is making a profit enough to expand your operation stealing from workers?

nope

my dad does make a profit, he owns a small business.

I agree with the intent of this 100%

I tend to think the people who might not don’t have a clear understanding of what “for profit” means. My dad heard “for profit” and goes “yeah, that’s a good thing. I work for a profit too”

We need some clearer way to express “exploitative and extractive profit”

When my local mom n pop shop makes a profit, it’s so they can maybe expand their menu or open another location across town. Maybe send their kids to college. Or even buy a summer home, extravagant for most but still pretty reasonable. When ketamine king makes a profit, it’s by exploiting millions so he can feel like the worlds most special little guy and light another 5 years of global breathable air on fire in the process.

I really am interested in a folding phone, but i'm not comfortable with paying apple any new money if i can avoid it. I've completed my data migration off of iCloud and into self-hosted solutions, but i'm continuing to pay for iCloud until i'm confident i won't somehow have issues with nextcloud and immich.

When my iPhone 14 Pro eventually fails to meet my needs, I'm planning on getting a Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold, not because Google is any better, I don't want to be giving them money either, but it is compatible with GrapheneOS.

Seems like you have 4 too many questions

The good place really is just democrats
