Whelp, considering the FAA seems to think the same as you…looks like we need to revise civil service protections and do to the federal agencies what was done to Twitter. Sorry folks!

Can you believe when you get dicked around by unelected bureaucrats for political reasons people get upset? They should know to listen to their betters!

He’s being shaken down by an authoritarian no different than anyone in Russia, you think he should have tried asking nicely instead?

Ah yes “social media bad”. Lemme guess, “Orange man bad” too?

You’re cheering on expansion of government power and the end of the free internet as we know it.

No, they can appeal to the state to get them to do it.

But you still think parliament actually controls the government as opposed to Whitehall, so I understand why this may be a little intellectually challenging for you.

Of course Comrade, there must be consequences for these firms pushing Counter-Revolutionary content. They can have free expression, but they must realize these algorithms are causing great harm to the Proletariat by platforming such content.

You’ll know the pendulum has actually shifted when “toxic femininity” appears in print.

I shoulda added the “/s”

Food (despite recent inflation) is still very cheap in the grand scheme of things, despite it being something ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for survival.

This is why other goods you absolutely need, like clothes, shoes, and food, are ALSO some of the most expensive out there.

Correct. The industries with shortages (housing, healthcare, education) are ALSO the ones with Soviet-tier central planning. Honestly, we shouldn’t be surprised!

If you stop looking at the internet it immediately becomes clear nothing is happening.

Apocalyptic thinking is not the mark of a healthy mind.

Interesting they don’t protest at the factory of VW, or BMW, or Mercedes, or Porsche. Maybe it’s not actually the “environment” they’re protesting for.

And it sounds like you’re a communist, unless how you can explain how you can ban “investment partnerships buying companies” without doing away with private ownership more broadly?

The issue people have isn’t with “private equity”. If it was a publicly traded company doing this people would be equally upset.

Yes, because communism (what else is “banning private equity”?) NEVER results in “enshitification” of ANY kind.

Seriously, the issue here can most likely be tracked to private equity taking advantage of existing regulations. Not sure why MORE state involvement in the economy would be the solution.

It doesn’t fix anything. Rents in major cities like Shanghai or Shenzhen are proportionally pricier than even the priciest American metros. All these ghost houses are in places no one wants to live. On the same note, rent is pretty damn cheap in Toledo, Ohio.
