Remember how Elon Musk conned Vegas out of millions with the hyperloop.

Satellite internet is not the future; it's cell internet.

Does he have to work with the wealthy to raise their taxes?

What about putting caps on rent?

Seems like he could do both of these without any backing from wealthy people.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratchet_effect

The ratchet effect is a concept in sociology and economics illustrating the difficulty with reversing a course of action once a specific thing has occurred, analogous with the mechanical ratchet that allows movement in one direction and seizes or tightens in the opposite.

Republicans push us in one direction, weak/complacent democrats don't fight back.

It's part of the two-pronged strategy, and why anyone who supports establishment democrats is tacitly supporting republican policies.

We really needed Bernie in 2016, but it shows where liberals' priorities lie. They become conservative as soon as their wealth is threatened.

There's another side to this.

This means there's a lot of programmers who are available to work on other things. It's an opportunity for businesses to start and new programs to be made.

The wealthy people will just pay to have the ads removed.

As always, this law doesn't exist to benefit workers like you and me. It exists to benefit our rulers and should be another example of how government representatives do not represent their populace.

I'm already getting into self-hosting.

It's surprisingly easy, and can be done with a VPN that has port forwarding.

Wouldn't be surprised with how shittifed the web is becoming that we end up with alternatives to DNS since it requires forwarding on port 80.

All that money that could be spent improving the lives of poor people in need.

Asus and Acer have some of the biggest dipshits in their design departments.

"Republic of Gamers" is cringe, and Acer settled on having "PREDATOR" written in all caps across their gaming laptops.

Gamer aesthetic is not, never has been, and never will be cool.

That's fine.

It means their expertise can only benefit companies that value morals.

Remember, corporations need us more than we need them.
