Solution is bottle of vodka, styrofoam and a rug.
If this comes to pass .... time to destroy the grid, at least near the data center.
Vote for Trump... Get fucked by his buddies.
How much mega corporations and the government give a fuck about people is becoming visceral these days.
What is wrong with Americans? Why do they tolerate this?
We don't, but nothing we do matters, so it happens anyway
i'm just a temporarily embarrassed billionaire when i get rich i don't want to pay taxes
It kind of looks like their politicians don't give a crap what the little people think. Likely money involved, I'd wager.
It's what they voted for. Leopards are getting full of faces all across America.
Because any public attempt of resistance is going to be met with violence. Our government has stated they plan to conduct drone warfare on us. Don't get me wrong, personally I know what happens when there's no resistance (they'll just kill you anyway) but for the majority it's usually a combination of distance (this place is huge), poverty and not wanting to be canon fodder for something they likely had nothing to do with.
have you seen who they vote for? this is what they want
If the voting system trends towards two bad options which both get worse every year, how much does their vote reflect what they really want?
Bingo. Voting for the lesser evil is still voting for evil.
If they choose the worst option it's a signal they want to keep moving in that direction!
We don't have any actual representative democracy, due to all our extreme mobility. Cars have killed us. I've lived in so many of the U.S. States and it's just crashingly laughingly suck.
Too busy scrolling social media filled with rage bait and propaganda
Hard to tell from the article how likely this is to happen. Their legal situation is very complicated and it sounds like they are still trying to figure out what can and cannot be done.
