Robert O'Rourke and Kamala Harris throwing out the idea of mandatory gun buyback programs. Atleast the grabbers are out in the open now. Much more dangerous in the shadows. Grabbers gonna grab.

Under the Bush & Obama presidencies the U.S. gov spent trillions intentionally ending the lives of millions of people around the globe. We consider ourselves an "authority" and not an equal to others, sorta like cops we never find any wrongdoing after investigate ourselves. Torture became a legitimate function of government under Condoleezza, and Hillary helped to sodomize Libya's Leader with a knife. Just doing their jobs keeping Americans safe of course. ssstwitter.com_1669434142067.mp4

U.S. government to seize money from actual working class people, give it to college graduates

This is the most bizzaro champagne Socialist bullshit I've ever seen. The U.S. government devalues college degrees, which used to be a rare commodity, via predatory lending to people they know can't pay back the loans. Having a college now, or even a graduate degree is no longer a scarce commodity, thus due to supply demand, most degrees are just above breaking even in value, (return on investment). This upsets people who went to college and were lied to by teachers that said going to college is a good investment (misery loves company). "d0n'T wANt to eNd up liKE tHe JaNiToR" Meanwhile the Janitor makes double what your average financially illiterate teacher makes, becaus…

This keeps getting uglier and uglier for these cops in Uvalde. Rushed in to get their own kids out. Barricaded the shooter in a classroom that had kids in it. Refused to go in after him and barred parents from attempting their own rescue when it was clear they weren't going to do anything. No words.

Clearest shot ever seen of the 2nd plane. He somehow knows it’s a United plane? Does his reaction seem genuine to anyone? This got posted the day Russia invaded ukraine. Initially it had a description saying he uploaded it in 2001 but it was set to private… but his acct was made in 2006. He then changed the description

it's definitely true that police don't have enough long guns and that more guns would have stopped uvalde, especially for the psychos who become school resource officers. remember when an armed school resource officer stopped parkland? wait https://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/madison/2022/08/05/madison-county-schools-add-ar-15-rifles-enhance-security/10234037002/

https://www.wired.com/story/amazon-irobot-roomba-acquisition-data-privacy/ Why is the Roomba company worth $1.7 billion to Amazon? It’s not the dust, it’s the data. ••• iRobot got its start building robots for the US military, but 20 years ago added consumer vacuums to the mix. (It spun off the defense business altogether in 2016.) Those Roombas work in part by using sensors to map the homes they operate in. In a 2017 Reuters interview, iRobot CEO Colin Angle suggested the company might someday share that data with tech companies developing smart home devices and AI assistants. ••• “People tend to think of Amazon as an onlin…

Okay I'm just wondering if anyone could explain the meaning on the word in simplest terms because I do not know much about the American (or world) economy.

Gavin Newsom (D) announced on Thursday that his state will be producing its own “low cost” insulin, stating, “People should not go into debt to get lifesaving medication.” Newsom said that the state budget he recently signed includes $100 million for California to “contract and make [its] own insulin at a cheaper price, close to at cost, and to make it available to all.” He said $50 million of that budget will go to the development of the low cost insulin, while the additional $50 million will go toward a Cali…
