In my state, republicans slapped on much higher EV registration fees but when democrats came into power, they just left them there. This pattern seems to mirror the national strategy.

News@lemmy.world•Goldman Sachs Head During Financial Crisis Says He "Smells" a Similar Crash Coming
20·7 days agoMaybe if those individuals are rich. Everyone else has been getting screwed without the government caring for a long while. It’s why so many had foreclosed on their home in 2008 while big banks were bailed out and their execs rewarded themselves with big bonuses.

11·17 days agoThe amount of aid technically increased but was not nearly enough and would’ve been much more easily and quickly satisfied by simply telling israel to let aid through on-ground instead of this ridiculous workaround.
This is the strategy that democrats always use to justify carrying out heinous acts, just like how biden was instrumental in creating the student loan crisis and then decades later forgiving a tiny fraction of that debt so that supporters can point to that and proudly proclaim “see, he’s doing something!”

31·17 days agoBiden didn’t push for a ceasefire at all. He continuously shipped weapons to israel and even bypassed congress to ship weapons to them. He temporarily paused a single shipment of 2,000 pound bombs, said he was “frustrated” with netanyahu while still doing everything he wanted, and he had a floating pier built that let limited amounts of aid through instead of telling israel to let aid through on-ground. This was apparently enough to fool people like you into thinking biden was serious about helping the Palestinians. If he was serious about stopping the genocide, he could’ve simply stopped all shipments of weapons to israel (you know, the ones carrying out the genocide). This is so basic and obvious that I’m surprised you try to argue otherwise.

41·17 days agoWhy don’t you stop and think for a second why the democrats would decide it’s better to risk votes than to stop genocide? Clearly you had to leave practically all online leftist spaces because you’re not actually a leftist. So stop cosplaying by saying “we” are all stupid. We’re not stupid enough to think a party that refuses votes just so they can continue supporting genocide is willing to help at all.

31·17 days agoThe morons running the democratic party thought it was more important to support a genocide than to gain votes. Somehow you think those same morons would protect us from fascism or make anything better.
True, but maybe a good compromise would be having the fuzzy date in parentheses/brackets if there’s enough space.
I absolutely hate fuzzy dates, not only because of the problem you mentioned, but also because they can get wildly inaccurate. For example, on youtube I often see something counted as posted a year ago, but if I look at the absolute timestamp, it was actually 1 year and 10 months. That’s too big of a difference to truncate.
That was my point, the DNC and their mainstream media buddies said that he didn’t focus enough on issues facing specifically black people. That was one of many attacks they made against him.
I mean, it has been applied as a way to divide, like when Bernie proposed all sorts of policies to help the poor and mainstream media ran with “but what does Bernie do specifically for poor black people?”
That’s not to say there aren’t such specific concerns, but it wasn’t like Hillary was doing any better in that regard. It was solely used as a way to make Bernie look less progressive. So instead we got Trump with the simple and straightforward “make america great again”.
Fighting a war on multiple fronts is a great way to stretch your resources thin and muddy the strategy.

Technology@lemmy.world•The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care aboutEnglish
1·21 days agoThis isn’t the first time that the memory companies have colluded to raise prices. It’s perhaps one of the more extreme instances, yes, but with the AI excuse going away, things will have to go back to reality, especially as China ramps up production and ruins the cartel setup we’re currently stuck with.

1·21 days agoThat’s assuming everyone’s devices crap out during this year or two while the AI and memory companies play pretend that they’re actually going to use up all this memory.


Oh boy, guess we can look forward to more vibe-coded slop which will make it an even bigger pain to use.
