  • One nuance that I think often gets lost is that outside of a very small percentage of cases, if your great great great grandfather fought for the confederate army that isnt a criticism on you or him. Theres every likelihood that he was just another illiterate idiot fed a bunch of rhetoric and told who to fight and be vilified, press ganged or killed if he didnt. Even if he volunteered, look at the lies and dripple being punched out about russia/ukraine and israel/palestine and they had a very narrow information flow. Its ok to have family on the wrong side of history, we cant know what kind of person they were or how they really felt in most cases.

    All of fucking Lemmy.

    I’m a normie, I dont Linux, I dont communist, I dont vegan, I dont FOSS, I dont care about hiding behind over 9000 proxies for muh privacy.

    I used to Reddit for memes, lulz and banter but they killed my preferred app and turned the site to shit so I bounced to the alternative, but in the last year this place is becoming increasingly fuckin negative, I find more actual humor on facebook.

    Some of you need to laugh at a fart joke once in a while.









  • You dont notify the government directly, you notify the news desks of MSNBC, Fox, ABC and the major newspapers. Do it via express postage envelopes a few days out, include any publicly available info on hijackers, flight numbers and times.

    The Government might ignore it as a hoax, but not if they know that the information has come via every major news outlet in the country. They have to act.


  • You are assuming that the government will run the insurance process competently. The government already is beholden to the voters and public opinion and they are just so efficient and devoid of red tape right? You’re also assuming the government will run the insurance industry as some sort of benevolent not for profit as opposed to a new form of tax. Not to mention what happens when the republicans get in and decide to raise insurance on electric vehicles or manipulate the price of insurance on cars from certain countries as a form of ersatz import tariff, or install political appointment figureheads who can take kickbacks to make certain manufacturers cheaper to insure. Not to mention the formation of a government department of adjusters and estimators to run the whole deal.

    The existing system sucks buy I dont see the government having total control and no alternatives being some sort of magical panacea.
