Other world leaders have busy been shown that the US corporate media is FAR too powerful.
If there president of the USA gets shut down,v who is to say the cabal won't entirely shut off entire political parties in other countries from the platform.
I actually feel good about this. Every other country on earth is more looking for local alternatives, since the US companies just played their hand.
They're also blatantly acting as a trust. There are other providers than AWS of course, but there is no other option for mobile. Removing a company that has broken no law and enjoys 230 protections, same as them should simply be illegal.
This could end up being the anti trust lawsuit of our lifetimes.
Probably not, but it could be, and I hope it is.
Hey DOJ, I know you're looking - how about filing some damned anti trust legislation against apple and Google. They hold monopoly power over mobile app marketplaces, 99.99% of people never can or will install an app from an outside source (Apple forbids it even). Them acting in Tandem would be like
We need some massive anti trust laws now. The big tech companies are acting in unison as an unelected government, shutting down entire platforms they dislike because of USER generates content (protected by section 230) violates THEIR terms of service.
We need some god damn reform. Companies like Google, Apple, and Amazon cannot be allowed to act in their monopoly power because another company doesn't hold their same values. Break up big tech now
Honestly just throwing everyone who committed even the smallest fraud in jail for a month would do the trick
Democracy in the park organizers? Jail
Anyone who contributed to the Facebook vote-for-money, jail.
Anyone who cast two ballots - jail
I don't like it, but there is one way out that I see.
- Repeal Bidens law that prevents people from discharging student debt in bankruptcy
- Change federal loans structure - students only get loans equal to 1x the average yearly salary of people in that profession. You MUST declare a major to get a loan.
- Loans are public debt, and are pegged to inflation so nobody gets hosed with high interest rates.
- US citizens only.
- 100% of your federally paid taxes goes to repaying the loan, before any of your taxes paid goes towards the general fund.
Then we can do this:
- Federally buy out all of the outstanding student debt, peg the interest to inflation, and apply #5 above to pay them off.
There I fixed the whole thing.
I've ordered things I haven't been able to find locally, I am as well guilty.
I first look for small business or craftsmen. I ordered a set of outdoor furniture from a local woodworker instead of buying from Costco, and it was about the same price in the end.
I'll order small things from Amazon, but I'll even prefer local big box stores, since at least Target or WalMart pay local taxes
Let them riot. Let them burn down Philly. Let them burn down DC, let them burn down the white house. Let them burn down NYC and LA.
The rest of us will be fucking laughing on our roofs armed to the teeth just waiting for some idiots with pitchforks to step out of line.
Call me black pilled but I bought a fuckton of oil futures anticipating Biden killing domestic production and letting the OPEC cartel push prices north of $100 again.
