In a general sense, the difference between a regular workplace with a union and a worker co-op is that the company is, in part, managed and/or owned by the workers themselves. There’s varying degrees of this, but the best (and unfortunately least common) co-ops elect their managers. It’s my opinion that electing managers is a crucial part of a worker owned economy, but a union is still needed to represent the workers.
Fine, if they want to play these games then let’s play. Student debt is over $1.6 trillion. If I stopped making payments individually, the ~$40k I borrowed is my problem. If all of us stop paying, it’s the government’s problem.
The foreign money in our elections are definitely a big factor when it comes to this topic for sure, especially when discussing the GOP. However when discussing the Democratic Party, it’s not nearly as big a factor as the billionaires appointing delegates and super delegates. If there’s one theme I’ve noticed over the last 4 years in regards to party structure, it’s that the GOP has barely any money but the Democrats continue to get millions from the wealthy. Since our elections cater to put money in the hands of corporations, this directs both parties to provide for their sources of funding. For the GOP, that means fascism. For the Democrats, it’s clinging to the same neoliberalism that produced the mess we’ve been in for 50 years.
I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic, but I feel all of those options are reductionist in some capacity and creates an illusion that a single tactical change would have altered the outcome. An election and what it takes to sway opinion is multifaceted and requires a diversity of tactics. To me, the problem is systemic and embedded in the party, which encompasses several of the points you think I solely blame. Namely, the oligarchic control over the party via delegates and super-delegates creates a dichotomy between the party’s base of support and the desires of the billionaires holding the purse strings.
Personally, I think a bulk of the fault is on the political parties that produced the last 3 elections, and where most of the attention needs to be. There is certainly some fault with the public, but some of that also goes back to the political parties failing to produce and maintain the advanced political awareness needed to be an informed citizen in the US. The Democrats will not accept responsibility for their failures, and has proven to be the less robust party despite the GOP facing bankruptcy.
And there it is folks, the democrats failing to learn from this election.
I’m choosing to ignore that part /s
Animal Farm is a story by George Orwell about the animals of the farm being led by pigs in overthrowing the farmer. The joke seems to be that Orwell both saw and described a literal farm uprising, and that he wrote this book instead because the animals hadn’t risen up

So he’s destroying the WordPress empire over higher profits? He should ask unity how that went
What started all of this? I was hoping for some background in the article
The IME has been a source for targeted attacks in the past. Firmware is just really more code, and can be exploited in similar ways. It’s a legitimate and longstanding criticism of IME and AMD’s PSP from privacy advocates.
The answer when facing opposition isn’t to throw up your hands and declare it too difficult. Keep pushing, keep fighting, keep trying to improve the lives of marginalized groups. The fact that the Democrats aren’t willing to put in the effort is all you need to know for the lackluster support.
Side note, don’t fucking blame marginalized people when things go sideways.
Unbelievably, he managed to underestimate the political awareness of the US public to his office. The bar was already on the floor.
If only USB-IF would do their fucking job and create actual standardized names with standard features instead of shit like USB 3.2 Gen 2x2

Well duh. The first rule of owning a firearm is making sure that it isn’t the first time you use it in the moment you need to use it
Literal 1st amendment violation. Just fascist things.
Because it’s part of the sports-ification of politics.
It’s beautiful
