Why would the democratic party want democracy? The people in positions of power in the party got a lot of great fundraising this cycle, and they’ll be able to use the threat of this incoming disaster to raise even more!

I don’t think any Americans who truly support this think further than the next quarter of Raytheon profits.

6·2 years agoIf you have a business like a law firm where it is VERY IMPORTANT that a PDF has certain qualities, free tools for PDF creation can be a big gamble, especially if you have to open a PDF that someone else has created and do changes to it. And the cost is pretty trivial compared to the cost of messing up.
If you like it, there’s a number of etsy sellers that have this. Also see “defend equality” stickers from offcolordecals.

828·2 years agoOK vote blue no matter who, give me articles from reputable sources regarding:
- Complete ban on all fossil fuel drilling in any US territory
- Medicare for all
- Massive expansions of railways
- US recognizing Palestine as a state
Edit: thanks VBNMW folks for proving my point - meme says you’ll give me 3 good sources showing he’ll do all this stuff, instead you give a ton of downvotes. Aren’t you guys the angry ones in this meme?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What industry secret are you aware of that most people aren't?
6·2 years agoIt likely won’t be done at scale, but let’s say you are wildly successful and are now in line for a high-value position, where vetting is common. Might look pretty bad if you fabricated your whole thesis. Recently, Bill Ackman basically bullied several schools into firing their head administrators on the pretense of not citing sources correctly in their thesis papers.

News@lemmy.world•L.A. County wants to cap rent hikes at 3%. Landlords say that would push them to sell
3·2 years agoI’m not the one downvoting you, but I think this is where you might lose me - I agree that people will buy housing and rent it out if they can make a profit, and we’ve had landlords doing that basically forever. But if the government gets involved and owners sell, I don’t see how home ownership can be more unaffordable. Basically we have a hugely constrained supply of housing. If, say, there were 50 skyscrapers full of apartments that went up overnight in San Francisco that charged $1000/month, rents would have to go down everywhere else because there would be the introduction of so much supply that nobody would pay more than that cost (because that’s the alternative to where they’re living now). Obviously that’s a fantasy scenario, but the various governments (city, state, and fed) all are not doing anything to move towards that goal, which would create supply equal to demand. If current landlords sell, then that would drive prices further down, not up - you’re literally increasing the supply again, and also because they will be competing against each other to sell, it should drive down prices for those homes as well.

News@lemmy.world•California is about to tax guns more like alcohol and tobacco − and that could put a dent in gun violence
2·2 years agoYeah, even 3d printed frames are even “good enough” for occasional use, especially if you buy all the other internals elsewhere, especially the slide/barrel, which are not covered at all by this tax (or by any other law in CA that I’m aware of, other than threaded barrels for pistols).

News@lemmy.world•California is about to tax guns more like alcohol and tobacco − and that could put a dent in gun violence
3·2 years agoSo one of the most common handguns is the Glock 19, which can be found pretty easily for between $500 and $600 in any gun store. I have strong doubts that an extra $55-66 per gun is going to fundamentally reduce the amount of guns in circulation. The person who buys a single gun isn’t going to not buy the gun, and hobbyists who have a lot of disposable income won’t stop buying new stuff, but will grumble a lot.
Anyone with nefarious intentions (cartels, etc.) would just buy in Nevada, Arizona, or other states anyways, where there aren’t as many restrictions on firearms. If you ever see crime photos of people with glocks, it’s pretty common to see 30-round magazines, which have been unable to be purchased in CA for years, showing that these guns and magazines are all coming from out of state to begin with.

116·2 years agoYes, let’s keep punching left as Democrats lose even the moderates they exclusively cater to now.
Instead, Mr. Biden’s losses are concentrated among moderate and conservative Democratic-leaning voters, who nonetheless think that the system needs major changes or to be torn down altogether. Mr. Trump wins just 2 percent of Mr. Biden’s “very liberal” 2020 voters who think the system at least needs major changes, compared with 16 percent of those who are moderate or conservative. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/13/us/politics/biden-trump-battleground-poll.html

1·2 years agoYeah, sorry, at this point, I don’t know what you’re trying to say. I think we’re both in agreement that this cop is an idiot and should not have his gun out, right?
I’ve only been trying to tell you that your question of “why he didn’t demount the flashlight” is not really how it works.

3·2 years agoWhy would you = removing a WML. This guy is clearly a super huge idiot if that’s what he was trying to do. I would think that this is super far from SOP, which should be to use his flashlight since he’s surrounded by 999 other cops, this guy did not need his gun out at all.
