First, no he did not. He released information relating to government officials engaging in misconduct. Hillary Clinton had been a government official for a long time, Trump had not. Of course youre more likely to get that kind of information on her and not him.

But even if he had, having a political allegiance is not a crime punishable by prison as far as I know.

No matter how you slice it, there’s a gap between how the economy is doing and how Americans feel about it.

Why do they keep insisting that we are the ones that are wrong? The economy isn’t their numbers. The economy is a real thing, proper operation of which ensures well fed people.

The purpose of an economy is to fond optimal distribution of resources for people. Ultimately it’s people that need all the things, right? Either things are materials to produce things for people, or products useful to help other products reach people.

If the people think that’s not working, it isn’t working. They’re not just parroting what they see on the news, they’re living day by day, minute by minute in this environment. They see what day to day life costs for them. They’re wrong but the eggheads tracking the over fitted model are right? When a measure becomes a goal it ceases to be a good measure, that’s where the disconnect is. If you want to fix the economy then quit pretending your metrics are more important than people’s standard of living.

So you’re not a fan of national self determination then?

Quotes from in the article:

They don’t like our decisions, and they don’t like how they anticipate we may decide some cases that are coming up. That’s the beginning of the end of it

There are groups that are very well-funded by ideological groups that have spearheaded these attacks. That’s what it is.

OK well then why does he have it?

Oh it’s a replica? Why do you have it in the first place?

Who cares if people think you’re a Nazi sympathizer. You know who you are. Anyone who thinks you are without knowing you is a dumbass.

It’s a historical collectors item, nothing more. Keep it. It’s probably really cool.

Fighting poverty and corruption since 1992.

These guys, the very guys that liberated their country, have managed to lose so much political will that now they’re stooping to buying votes.

The power structure will protect itself. This is why you must always view government as your enemy.

Yup, if we can sequester the extra CO2 in the biomass part of the carbon cycle I think that’s the best solution, it doesn’t fight life on the planet, instead it works with it.

Yep, I concur. I’m of the opinion that that’s all you need to solve this problem.

All in all good news. It means less plastic and more biomass.

That’s because this narrative is at odds with another environmentalist narrative.

Carbon compounds are oxidized by non plant organisms to form carbon dioxide.

Yup. Plastic’s main selling point, it’s durability, is no longer going to be a factor when choosing it as a material.

There’s a lot of discussion in here about how great this is. And it is. But it is at odds with another environmentalist concern.

What if we could take carbon dioxide and turn it into something that can’t be degraded by living organisms? Well, plastic is one of those things, or was. Plastic is a form of carbon sequestration.

These micro organisms, they’re turning plastic into carbon dioxide. Any and all carbon compounds on earth will enter the carbon cycle. every drop of oil pulled out of the ground, even the stuff that’s used to make plastic, will wind up in the atmosphere.

Fuck yeah thanks man

Most communists on Lemmy would be put against the wall by the CCP. Agitators are useful until the party has power. After that they’re troublemakers.

Oh I can’t ask how it’s identical?

“Drinking and driving doesn’t kill people, people kill people” oh wait, that’s senseless and they’re not identical… Maybe you responded with this instead of answering my question because you know that.

“Cars and alcohol don’t kill people people kill people” yeah that’s why it’s drinking and driving that’s illegal, not cars and/or alcohol. But you thought of that already and realized your mistake, which is why you’re dodging.

Try harder, it’ll do you some good.

How so?

They’re not saying people are killing people with videogames, and you know that, so you’re being disingenuous. You’re creating an equivalency I didn’t make and arguing with it, not me. When you do this you only look smart to stupid people.
