I mean this is pretty standard in all industries regardless of whether it’s a software flaw or a physical flaw in any other kind of product. What’s the likelihood of a vacuum manufacturer replacing a part in a 15 year old product that had a 1 year warrantee even if it’s a safety issue? Sure the delivery and installation is cheaper with software, but the engineering and development isn’t, especially if the environment for building it has to be recreated.

Presidents are now immune from prosecution for basically anything they do in an official capacity thanks to the corrupted Supreme Court. So who’s going to stop him? Even if Congress makes a new, specific law against it with dire consequences, he’s putting loyalists in law enforcement and the courts can’t enforce the law when the highest one will overturn any ruling because of that interpretation.

And all of the military stationed at the border will be turned around to keep people in once Trump moves on from immigrants to trans people, or some other group who will be forced to flee the country to avoid being put in the concentration camps that will be empty and need people to keep the prison companies’ profits up.

They left it small so that it wouldn’t be worth it to fight in court and they’d either just settle for a license fee or pay the fine. But sounds like the best way would be to get the patents revoked, but that’s probably more expensive than just paying the fine due to the legal fees.

Unfortunately, that’s not how it’s being interpreted by conservative and “liberal” (i.e. centrist) media.

Yeah, that’s one reason I’ll never get an official Autism diagnosis. The misinformation about autism that politicians work with is gross. I mostly blame the companies like Autism Speaks who present it as a disease to be cured so parents don’t feel bad about making their kids mask rather than most forms being simply a sociologically induced disability because people are too lazy to adapt and too many exploitative social practices exist that neurotypicals can adapt to easily, but many neurodivergent people can’t and they don’t want to give up the exploitation.

Much like book bans in school libraries that have moved to city libraries and all the other bans that started in schools, this will soon move from bans on children getting healthcare, to bans on adults getting healthcare once they use the “save the children” rhetoric to make their followers comfortable with the prejudices in general.

Don’t worry, in a couple of months, the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division will be going away since it’s considered too “woke” and the attorney general will be too busy with shoving immigrants into makeshift concentration camps, making sure that women die when their pregnancies go wrong, jailing Trump’s “enemies”, and gutting the justice system to "break down legal restrictions and traditional protections against political interference” since that’s what Trump and Gaetz have said are the priorities. Problem solved. /s

Not give up. Just move away from corporate owned social media which generally has biases baked in and allows for easy manipulation by the company. The one we’re on right now is not one of those and there are lots of other alternatives. Not that they’re perfect, just that money and especially wealthy individuals aren’t able to easily and singlehandedly manipulate millions of people by purging factual but dissenting information.

"Woke"just means logic- and fact-based now. So it’s as much a “cult” as scientists were called a “cult” by religions in the past.

Thanks, guess I missed that. No man for the LE to deal with, so they can flex. And no man there to raise the child other than the elderly, so it hurts their “family values”.

OK, then look at cable TV. Or any other industry where a tax or regulatory fee was added and a customer gets a detailed bill with charges other than the product cost. They just add line items and pass it on, but of course most of the time those line items aren’t directly connected to the cost itself since the consumer wasn’t the direct target. So the companies add a little extra for “processing” (i.e. profit). It’s a common practice and likely to be the same with the tariffs.

They’ll do the same thing big restaurant chains did where they couldn’t pay their tipped employees less than minimum wage anymore. They’ll add a new “service charge” so they don’t have to increase the product price directly. They’ll make it much higher than the actual tariff costs, but say “hey look we’re not charging you a full 20% more.” Even though the tariff isn’t 20% of the retail price but people who support the tariffs are dumb and will think they’re doing good.

I’d be willing to bet she’s a single mother and these people are just going after her for that sin and to flaunt their power over someone they perceive as weak and evil. Otherwise, it makes no sense at all. I was forced to walk to the store alone many times starting at like 6 or 7, and I rode my bike all over the place from like 8 and up, way more than a mile from the house. And the crime rates are way lower now in most of the country. And there weren’t cell phones.

Because most of the people in power actually want Trump to push things too far. That way when he leaves, they can push things almost that far and look like a good guy. Remember, the Democratic party is conservative centrist, not leftist. There are very few left centrists like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren in office and no one is truly very far left at all. But compared to Trump, they appear to be extremely leftist.

Yeah they may not cooperate with authorities, but I’m sure they’d be happy to sell it to contractors working on behalf of the government to the same ends. They already sell the info as it is.

If there were death threats against people working for me, I’d tell them to avoid those people, too. It’s not discrimination. It’s a safety issue. A lot of them were threatening to shoot FEMA workers if they violated their property.

Trump Putin Will Soon Get Classified Briefings Again

Force them to take a class where they read the Bible?

Sounds like they prefer this outcome for some reason. Maybe they made some mistake they’re covering for, or maybe the situation is just so complex with poorly written laws that he might end up being allowed to stay for a long time while it’s all worked out. This gets him out of the building and makes him someone else’s problem.
