It’s also the fact that if everyone stops using AM, the RFI pollution from EVs and other tech will balloon even more than it already has. Those frequencies are used for a lot more than just emergencies. I’d bet the push for this came from the military or the FCC.
Gore’s VP (Joe)? I don’t remember all of the details, but that was legitimately a contested election by the numbers, not by a sore loser. Won the popular by a decent margin but lost the electoral. It was by a slim enough margin to trigger a recount. As far as contested elections go I thought that could have gone a whole lot worse.
I’m not sure I get the comparison here.
Democracy is perfectly fine until the candidate that loses refuses to accept the results, tries to retain power by force, then continues to try undermine faith in democracy for 4 years and is somehow still the frontrunner for his party.
There is a disconnect between the statistics and reality. I am not sure where, but I suspect inflation is not being calculated correctly. It may be that lower cost items rose at a higher rate, so even though it averages out, it’s harder to reduce spending. 17% doesn’t seem to match the numbers I’ve seen for take out and home prices for example.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what’s on a chart it matters how many things people had to choose to not buy or do because they couldn’t afford it.
Are you that much of an idiot? You’re asking me to prove a negative. I have all of the original files, there’s a date stamp in the future in the image itself, that’s the proof right in front of your face if you ever bothered to look. You’re not actually calling someone out when you offer zero proof, no follow-up, and no basis in reality and just reply to a reasonable request with insults. Nothing comes up on google, if it did, you would have linked it. Regardless of what you want to tell yourself, you are the one that came to my post to shit on my creative work. I will never prove that to you, but that is the case. Your mind is not open enough to listen to reasonable evidence if I were to offer more because it is already evident. Arguing is a waste of breath. You’re no keyboard warrior, saving the world from the big bad advertising agencies. You’re a simple, worthless troll, doing your part to make sure fewer people want to share their ideas or waste their time on a new platform. So, sleep soundly after whatever imusthavethelastword reply you give to this. I’m done
I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic. Either way, this is definitely the message that’s being broadcasted on loop in a lot of places, especially here. On the surface it seems to be trying to convince swing voters to lean left. If that’s the case, it very much misses the mark. I’m not positive that this is a US specific message, but that is my perspective.
I had a much longer rant typed out, but it wasn’t terribly constructive. The long and short of it is that we have a lot of problems that need to be addressed in this world that have yet to even be acknowledged (and thus no solutions proposed) because they are being drowned out by the handful of arguments that are the most emotionally charged and thus, least productive to debate. Every election has been a “race to the bottom” and every year it starts earlier, lasts longer, and gets stupider. That is to say, there is no intellectual consideration whatsoever. It is no longer a discussion about governance, it is a cheerleading mantra for a sports team. The arguments are all emotionally charged and feel more like propaganda than discussion - this is what “both sides” are guilty of. The candidates don’t even bother to show up to debates anymore, and it doesn’t seem to make a difference.
I have my opinion about who is the worst option, but that does nothing to convince someone looking for a reason to vote **for ** someone, not **against ** someone.
You are the most low effort, toxic, sorry excuse for a person I’ve interacted with on Lemmy. I have lost any desire to prove anything to you. Thank you for giving me the reason and motivation to learn how to block a bitch on this platform.
Google what exactly? I made everything up myself, you’re claiming it’s, an advertisement for, what, exactly? There’s no real companies even mentioned. There’s a radio station that comes up in British Columbia that’s close, but not the same frequency.
So you’ve made a claim, and now you’re putting the burden of proof on me. That’s the kind of conspiracy theory BS that we need to leave on reddit. I’ll look around, but I know you’re full of shit, because I am the author. Share your citations.
Archer, he’s got the case! Don’t let him get away! Calm down Lana, it’s empty. I hid it in Ray’s wheelchair while he was distracted.
You did what now? I hid… the plutonium, Lana, it’s this new thing called SPY CRAFT!
What part of extremely unstable and radioactive did you not understand?!
Well, apparently the core concept, Lana. Who do I look like, Marie Curie?
…
Wooooo!
I was waiting for someone to spot that.
BS . I made this from scratch after watching a music video I thought was funny.
And what happens when one of his Republican boot lickers buddies get into office? They can either undo it and let him go or use similar justification to imprison their political rivals even if it’s not as clear cut.
It would be much better for the justice system to handle it. If they don’t, then maybe Biden will need to, but as I said, that is an overall loss if he is forced to.
Couldn’t be further from what I want. What I don’t want to do is to give the Republicans, or any party reason to argue that whatever measures are taken against Trump are not lawful. It needs to be unambiguous that he violated the law of the land and establish that precedent so that executive action is not required, encouraged, needed or possibly even allowed. Otherwise we have accomplished literally nothing to protect our democracy, quite the opposite, in fact. Presidential decree is not law and can’t be expected to survive one administration to the next.
Calling it his number 1 job is hyperbole unless it stands up in court. And if it does, I will agree with you, just show me the court case.
That’s the point of checks and balances; to draw a clear separation of power.
Flexing his power to attack his political rivals is exactly what he needs to avoid doing. That is what Trump is doing and has been doing and that is the problem. If Biden has to step in, we’ve already failed.
It is in everyone’s best interest that the current President does not do anything other than watch the justice system play out, just like every other US citizen.
There is no action that he can take that will not make things worse.
If standards aren’t set and enforced for that shielding, it won’t just be radio in cars that don’t work. That RFI travels like a tiny broadband (as in multiple frequencies) radio station… because it is. The impacts are compounded the more cars are like that.
