No, it should, but they’ll keep it propped up as long as they can, making the inevitable collapse far worse than if they let it happen organically.

273·3 months ago1 million is a faction of what the reality will be. There are roughly 320 million people, 1 million people is about 0.003% of the population.
As of late 2024 it was estimated that between 57% and 73% of people were living paycheck to paycheck.
Let’s go with 57% and cut it roughly in half to be conservative and go with 28% of people being one missed paycheck away from losing everything.
28% of 320 million is about 90 million.That “1 million” estimate is off by several orders of magnitude on the low end.

101·3 months agoPersonally I do hope it was someone on the left.
The only thing sadder than watching our democracy crumble under fascism is watching it go down without a fight.
When we’re a Nazi dictatorship and decent people have to hide, the newer generations will ask what we did to stop it, and so far our only answer is:
“Not a goddamn thing”
Kevin Roberts said:
"The second American Revolution will be bloodless if the left allows it to be.”
I, for one, hope like hell we don’t allow it to be.

News@lemmy.world•California Senate embarks on Democrats' redistricting plan, counter-punch to TexasEnglish
191·4 months agoUnfortunately it’s not, Newsom wants to add 5 blue seats to match what Texas is doing, that’s breaking even and it keeps the status quo as it is now, which is already unbalanced and leans hard right.
If he actually wanted to fight back he’d be going for every blue seat he can.
Even if other blue states follow suite it won’t be enough, they need to go nuclear with it.

372·4 months agoNewsom only wants to match Texas by adding 5 blue seats, it’s pure theatre.
If he was serious he’d squeeze California for all the seats he could get, but he’s just keeping the field level with what it is right now. The problem is, the way it is now is already heavily right leading nationwide.
California needs to cancel out more than just Texas.

News@lemmy.world•Trump says the Smithsonian focuses too much on 'how bad slavery was'English
6·4 months agoTime is just a fourth dimension we can only move one direction in, in this form.
There are (fictional) stories, like “The Egg” for example, in which God or a god can reincarnate you as anyone in any time.
In “The Egg” by Andy weir a man is killed in a car accident and reincarnated as a Chinese peasant girl in the 16th century.


ChatGPT is going to nuke my house for repeatedly asking it if there’s a seahorse emoji.
In all seriousness though, I assume it’s for nuclear power to satisfy the exponentially growing need for electricity, but if we’re going to be building reactors they should be powering the grid and reducing our dependency on fossil fuels, not privately owned reactors for corporations.
