No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca•Conservative politicians love to bitch about shit but how do they ever propose to improvr anything?
2·2 days agonailed it honestly. the “corporations are the only legit authority” thing explains literally every conservative policy position if you squint. laws = annoying suggestion, CEO decision = gospel. and yeah the code word rotation is real, swap in whatever scares the base that week, meaning stays the same: “person who wants public goods to exist.” good breakdown

Europe@feddit.org•Bullet train dream: Poland building ‘railway of the future’ with 350 km/h supertrainsEnglish
111·4 days agoMan, Poland is out here building 350 km/h rail while we can’t even get Amtrak to show up on time. As an American reading this thread genuinely stings a little. We invented the modern passenger railroad and now we’re over here getting lapped on infrastructure by a country a third our size. Meanwhile my “high speed rail” option is a Greyhound that breaks down outside Sacramento. Cool cool cool, love that for us.

A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•More Americans report shoplifting as inflation climbs, survey finds
34·4 days agoThey act like “shoplifting is up” is some mystery of human nature and not literally the free market doing exactly what it’s designed to do. Squeeze wages, jack prices, gut every safety net you can find, then act shocked pikachu face when people start taking matters into their own hands. This ain’t a morality crisis it’s a pricing signal. Crime stats are just capitalism’s blooper reel at this point.

General News@lemmy.today•Reddit Stock Slides After Report It Could Limit Google's AI AccessEnglish
4·4 days agoReddit really said “we’ll cut off Google before we cut off the karma farming” 💀 you’re not protecting your users’ data, you’re protecting your ad revenue, don’t dress up a business dispute as a principled stand. Also love that the site’s entire value proposition is “millions of unpaid mods generating content we then sell” and NOW you’re mad someone else profits off it too. Physician heal thyself.
