The FAA. Have you met college students?

Looks like somebody is in need of a bit of democracy, eh?

Is it possible to have a hoa coup? I think that would be interesting… Tiny revolutions within hoa’s. So small no one cares. Eventually everything is clean, green and healthy before anyone notices. Kind of like when eBay changed its background slowly from yellowish to white.

Lol

What I find interesting is it seems like we are again converging on the same service as cable. Which suggests that the best method of profiting off watching movies/tv at home is to have ad supported entertainment, with a monthly fee.

Once again, the profit motive ruins something good .

No need, the Soviets made a river of natzi blood in the 40’s.

A well thought out response. You got me lol. One day I hope to live up to your intellectual standards.

/s

And what are you going to do about it? Be upset? That sounds like a waste of your time, emotions, and intelligence.

Like I said in another response, I’m sure what happened is mostly true, but the framing is for political purposes. It’s important to be critical of the purpose of an article (to inform? Or to influence?) so you can focus your energy on the politics that you have influence over.

I remember the article. And I’m not saying that didn’t happen, in fact I’m sure the Russian Oligarchs are siphoning tons from the Russian people.

But the fact remains, the article you shared is American propaganda being used to drum up support for more sanctions, or war, or some other purpose, which will just result in American Oligarchs sending Americans and/or their money to places they should never be. There is truth to the article, but the framing is for political purposes.

You want to support oppressed people? Great! You want to denounce a tyrant? Great! You see folks across the Atlantic rising up in revolution against oligarchs? Also great!

But being critical of how the media is presented can go a long way towards supporting the right causes, being upset about things that are worth being upset about, and making sure you don’t waste your energy pushing the agenda of some government which should be minding its own business.

And the working people always suffer, and will always suffer, as long as our representatives don’t represent us.

Good point. North east US.

And you are right they didn’t mention a storm, but that’s not my point. The article title clearly exacerbates the problem, and points the blame in a way that suggests the Russians are either too stupid or too poor to fix the problem. Why should any of us care about such a small thing for one? And two, what is their intention? It’s well known that NYtimes toes the state line when it comes to propaganda against American “enemies” .

Really the only thing useful from the article is:

“20,000 without heat in Russia due to infrastructure failure. Crews working to fix it.”

But then why would anyone care about that?

Lol. I wasn’t showing any support for anyone, just pointing out the clear goal of the article, and especially it’s headline. It’s important to check sources, especially when there is a news article pertaining to your geo-political enemies.

Wow, infrastructure breakdown left 20,000 without heat for a few days? That’s not news. A good storm in the northeast can knock the power system out for days here. Just more mindless propaganda trying to make you think a certain way.

You do what you want, it’s your cabin

I prefer to only read the top line of a meme then post. And no that’s not a Lemmy user, that’s squidward

I don’t think there is any data to back that up.

1st year econ says something supply demand curve something something price. But that’s not true in practice

3. And you may own one cabin but it must be used by you and cannot be rented out

This for sure. I’ve worked for a non-profit, and it was an awful experience. Everyone I know who has worked for one shares a similar experience.

We think it has something to do with the toxic way funding is applied for through the government, and the necessarily low wages/over work.

I have been considering opening a co-op with the purpose of providing stable employment and the tools/ space for workers to be politically active. But it would have to be for-profit given the toxicity and restrictions placed on non-profits.

Violence is the only option, even if you don’t like it. Ask Nelson Mandela.

Alternatively, like in Canada, have your people become the majority and give them Independence, and forget about the destruction of the natives.

Liberation will never be given to you by your oppressor.

They didn’t dismantle anything… All they said is Hamas this, Holocaust that, isreal has a right to self determination, look at the babies that Hamas killed.

Not once did they provide evidence that the allegations were false…

Probably important to point this out: private property is not personal property.

E.g. An apartment building rented to tenants is the landlords private property. They have exclusive rights to the decisions, especially economic ones, regarding the building and the profits of the rent.

A car, book, house, pizza, are all your personal property so long as you don’t owe a lender anything for them.

So no private property might look like:

The people who live in an apartment building own the building collectively and have the full right therein, but the individual units are each their own personal property.

You might not, but the majority of people who know what neoliberalism is would.
