Fuck that indeed. The buck should stop, and prison sentences should start, with the highest paid employee.

"Hesitancy" about heliocentricity isn't new either, and yet we've sent out a solar probe. Willfully ignoring science will never get old, it seems.

> I believe he truly has humanity's best interests at heart

How can you possibly believe this? What else would someone in his position say? No billionaire has humanity's interest at heart, so they try to hide that fact by building libraries (Carnegie) or creating foundations named after themselves.

All of his words and none of his actions support his caring at all about humanity, and you choose to believe his words? The man has an IPO coming up (probably one of the biggest ever!), he could not be in a less trustworthy position.

If you played out the hypothetical that they're earnest and don't care about the money, then what?

We have an 8 hour workday, and women's suffrage, thanks to "terrorism", as you call it.

What social good do you intend to secure by attacking data centers?

How exactly do you propose going about that?

Uh, no, those things did not arise out of terrorism.

Read your history mate.

Of course they did. The president wants them to, he complains about mail-in voting (despite doing it himself yearly...), and thinks it helps his opponents. He also picked the postmaster general.

None of this is news, and none of it is a conspiracy. He has made it explicit that this is what he wants, and he's doing it to disenfranchise people so his team wins.

I don't. But I do think the CEO of a company who sells spying as a service to cops should have a taste of his own medicine.

So much for privacy should be a human right lol.

Privacy absolutely should be a human right. But currently it isn't, and part of why is there is lots of money to be made with surveillance on ordinary people. And things will not change unless the people who exploit the privacy of other for monetary gain feel the effects of their privacy being violated.

Like the CEO of Flock.

Human rights are routinely revoked from those that impede on the rights of others. This is the premise that underpins prisons. Privacy being a human right still holds true.

From which I conclude that prisons are wrong, but also if I don't like someone I can revoke his rights and push him downstairs.

What is the morally correct approach to dealing with murderers?

Maybe it should be one. Until it is, I'm all for giving the powerful the same consideration they give me.

Absolutely nothing about how the Supreme Court works nowadays has respect for standard process or decorum. It's merely a shield to hide behind when it's convenient, to be ignored when it's useful.

He doesn't have a view on trade deficits. To imply he does is giving him far too much credit. The "most powerful person on earth" in charge of the United States fundamentally doesn't understand trade deficits or tariffs.

We do a disservice when we act like he has a strategy or view about these things. He doesn't. He is ignorant of how they work, and to prove it you only have to listen to his own words.
