  • I mean they value money…

    and apparently they are smart enough to realize that Diversity helps with money, Which makes sense… they are a machine designed to extract money from people…

    rich white billionares do not fill up theatres or make a substantial percentage of disney+ and Hulu subscriptions… a group of people that know how to target different demographics will obviously outperform one that targets the hell out of maga fans but doesn’t know how to talk to the other 70% of the country.




  • Hell I wouldn’t even say that… they don’t understand it, they don’t care to understand it, they don’t know or care what federated means. They went there because, it’s not currently nazified twitter.

    I get that it’s “technically” federated… but practically it’s for all practical purposes just a proprietary program, run by a group that isn’t currently horrific. Unfortunately everything I see in it says, it’s every bit as vulnerable, and it can be good for as long as the owners care about not becoming a nazi propoganda machine. Actual recourse from it going evil… is non existant.


  • Kind of the conservative way…

    Chemical plant explodes: Cut more regulations on safety

    Abnormally dry and dangerous: Cut fire department

    Repeat teen pregnancies: Less sex education.

    Disease kills millions: Less doctors, less vaccines.

    Sometimes I feel texas thinks there in a scenerio like the episode of parks and rec, when out of desperation to get out of an emergency scenerio drill, they opted to just fail it on purpose as fast as they could. Bird flu is killing millions. OK our priority is save the birds, instruct everyone to perform CPR on any fallen birds.



  • The massive lowering of the bar of “good enough to stay alive”. Life expectancy was consistantly in the 30s up until the 1870s. Simply having kids was life threatening… doing so while malnourished even more so.

    Natural selection favors traits that increase the odds of having offspring, as well as those that avoid death before having offspring. Avoiding death is a lot easier than it used to be.


  • idiocracy intro?

    (IE the theory it pushed was in short, smart people do family planning, try to wait for everything to be perfect… and forget to get around to having kids).

    Meanwhile on the less intelligent spectrum. Shit I’m pregnant again!!!.. Oh and I got the girl in the trailer next door pregnant.

    Or for a real world example… look at Lauren Boebert, the 35 year old grandmother in congress.


  • more accurately. you can complain about their method to reach their claimed goal… and about the fact that they aren’t reaching it.

    IE their claimed goal is to save the government lots of money. Objectively the government spending less is a good thing. However losing things that the government does that help people, is objectively bad.

    So yes, it’s both too much bad, and not enough good, if the dodge cuts, slash jobs, wreck social security, medicaid, medicare. Harm scientific research in medical and other aspects of life. Wreck the US’s soft power by killing goodwill programs that help other countries. Wreck projects that help our own people etc…

    and so yes, if we wreck all the projects that help people and save lives… AND barely accomplish any savings in the process. That is an extreme double fail, in which something like DOGE can simultaniously be doing far too little, and far too much at the same time. (because they are making a huge negative impact to the quality of life for millions of americans… and they aren’t even close to making a visible scratch in saving money.






  • IMO I can only assume trump is setting up for rich stock traders… basically to have pump and dump wavey markets.

    By threatening total economic collapse… postponing it at the last second. It’s literally making the stock market a roller coaster. of which it will rise somewhat when postponed, fall when the date gets close… people could make a killing buying at the bottoms and selling at the ups.
