Make Polio Great Again

We used to have progressive income taxes that did this.

Reagan, Thatcher and their ilk pulled them because “trickle down, a rising tide lifts all boats, thousand points of light, blah blah blah”

Steve Irwin would want anomalocaris

Yup, am a Canadian, can confirm.

We stopped building public housing in the 1990s, because we were all told that “the market” would provide. Well, the market provided. For real estate developers and house-traders.

Ok, that makes sense.

I still don’t see why they (Mozilla) felt the feature was needed, since if you’re installing an addon to manage tabs, that’s all on you, the user.

Maybe, oh, just build public housing at scale instead of relying on a patchwork of underfunded and undergoverned agencies and P3 initiatives?

Why do we want to be able to hide tabs in the first place?

I’m a Canadian who just finished a business trip to the Midwestern US.

I was amazed at the number of signs for Republicans imploring voters to save America from communism by voting R.

I think it’s beyond time that Democrats call them fascists, because Republicans fucking are, especially since the other common signs I saw talked about the radical groomer trams agenda.

It’s crab-bucket public relations.

If you drag everyone down to your level, everyone looks bad, or at least you don’t look as bad by comparison and the voting public loses confidence in the system in general, which tends to benefit fascists.

It sadly doesn’t quite work right on KDE. You can get close: you can show an application launcher, or a exposé-like window overview, or a pager, but you can’t show all of them at once in a way that’s easy to work with between like Gnome does.

Heck, even Gnome regressed Gnome 40, as you don’t get the vertical desktop overview any more. At least there’s shell extensions that let me get Gnome 3’s behaviour back.

It’s a real pity, because I like KDE, and definitely the KDE apps, more, but the Super-key overview is no hard to quit.

Aren’t these things trackable? Don’t phones have an IMEI and can’t they be remote-bricked if stolen?

I mean, police don’t care, but Apple could render these useless if they wanted to.

The only reason I don’t use KDE is because it doesn’t do the super-key expose/dash/overview like Gnome.

A better idea is to do to the Democratic Party what the Tea Party and MAGA did to the Republicans.

Primary out corporate candidates and push for progressive ones at every level. President, congressional rep, school board trustee, dog-catcher: it doesn’t matter.

The problem progressive voters have is that they don’t show up, and the especially don’t show up during off years, in primaries and in down-ballot races. The polticial right, by comparison, has been getting people in place on small races for years.

Sanders did more for progressivism by enthusing Democratic members to vote in primaries and down-ballot races than Stein or any third party has ever done, and we’re seeing results. It needs to continue.

If you thought Viagra and Ozempic had a market, just wait…

This will be huge amongst the wealthy.

Jesus Christ, if that’s real, the WaPo editorial board needs a slap upside the head.

Stop. Rationalizing. Trump.

What it it with right wingers and stupid hair?

Yup, Ron Jr.

He’s actually very progressive, especially given his upbringing.

Oh, if only that were true.

But what about that one guy who writes absolutely brilliant VB?
