325 are 3D out of 350,000 guns found in CA in connection to a crime in 2024, according to random assholes on reddit.

This is a pretty dumb thing to pass legislation on considering it’s still VERY easy to buy a gun even in CA, another method of getting a gun isn’t making it easier in any real sense.

yeah what are you gonna do about it? Just do things yourself!?! I don’t think so!!

That’s not the problem. the problem is having a “lets turn Chris’ mental illness that’s harmed no one so far, into everyone’s violent problem!” machine.

that’s a bad machine.

the demands of the public and candidates of quality with people behind them is what creates change. Burnie changed the DNCs policy commitments, even if he couldn’t produce enough votes to be the candidate, he effected change, and that only happens when people are politically engaged and dousing people’s desire for change or anger about abuse doesn’t effect change.

I’m Hispanic, I grew up in an immigrant neighborhood, this situation is a nightmare, and every president we’ve had has made it worse since Clinton, but pointing out the Democrats will gladly continue Trump’s immigration policy to appear “strong on immigration” to me is highly counterproductive. people are mad right now about immigration policy, people want change. telling them any Democrat that runs is going to be the same when we don’t know who that person is or what policy they have written down as a plan of action, it’s just telling people to be more hopeless, and not be mad or demand change. No voting Democrat won’t fix immigration, but voting republican will always make it magnitudes worse, and people finally seeing what policy is like and being strongly against it is the only way to get a political party to actually openly be pro immigration for once in my entire life.

What could possibly go wrong?

very hard to convince someone of something when their paycheck requires they don’t understand it. seroiusly “hay I’m one of the people who has been demanding my company finish AI and roll it out and stuff it into everything we sell to look like massive growth so my stocks will start going up even though the language models aren’t even designed to do what were claiming, and they don’t even work well as language models, and we have no real use for them and they’re horrifyingly costly to run, but no, I don’t think it’s a bubble.”

using your military to kill citizens of your own county? what is disappearing people and “suicide” not fast enough?

Yes, it was based on ‘McNamara’s Morons’ as people said. And to be fair to the book, it does a better job of making Forrest Gump more self aware, he does in fact grasp that he’s being exploited and underpaid and under trained, used for the most deadly jobs and mocked for it.

I’m not sure where the data is that shows this, but it’s pretty easy to find out the law makers aren’t responding to voter demand and they don’t care about protecting children, like most laws this isn’t about the supposed motivation it’s most likely a way to goose up VPN stock value.

Clearly the documentation I dealt with daily was a hallucination. I’m sorry to defy your superior set of facts.

But it gets it wrong TOO! You could be leaning absolute gibberish.

promises promises.

Compliance is calculated with previous years costs in workman’s comp, hiring and training costs, and lawsuit and fine payouts. It’s one of the easiest tasks to break down to dollar amounts. If we paid $8k at every site and one site paid $2k because they didn’t get fined on electrical outlets out of code, then one task in compliance saved $6k I’m not theorising with you. I have seen the excel spreadsheets, this isn’t me assuming they exist, this is quantified. This is specified on paper man. What don’t you get here? Marketing is VERY easy to assign a dollar amount to. We made $100k one quarter with $1k paid in marketing, we made $200k next quarter with $2k paid on marketing. Very easy to determine. You want to wake everyone in the morning meeting up? Tell them you want to pull money out of Advertising and redirect it to payroll. They’ll all spit their coffee out. Social media is also very easy to quantify. You just compare metrics across all quarters and pair them to social media follows, this is a huge metric that a lot of business decisions are made on, this isn’t amorphous just because you’re unaware of how important it is to business. Branding also has hard values assigned, and supporting or changing branding is very much a numbers game. Why else do you have companies willing to buy the name of another company even when they don’t need their production or staff along with it? I don’t think you grasp that every single task someone does for a corporation is matched to a dollar figure amount. Seriously. If I could get labor class people to drop one myth it would be that their labor has next to no value. They know what you’re worth and they know how much they aren’t paying you out of the value you produce.

Mopping a floor has a determined metric. I’m not kidding. It’s a metric. Clean bathrooms are worth a determined dollar amount. It’s not simply sales or production, every task has a dollar amount. The amount of time it takes to do the task has a dollar value determined and on paper. Corporations know what every task is worth in dollar amounts. Processing Hazmats? Prevents the fine. Removing trash or pallets? Prevents lawsuits and workplace injury. Level of light reflected from the floor? Has a multiplier effect on sales. Determined. Defined. Training sales people on language choices, massive sales effect. They know how much money every single tasks generates, fines or lawsuits prevented, multiplier effects on average ticket sales, training to say ’ highest consumer rated repair services ’ instead of ‘extended warentee’ these are on paper defined dollar amounts. There is NO JOB in which you are paid to do something of no financial value. There are no unprofitable positions or tasks.

I’ve worked for big corporations that employ a lot of people. Every job has a metric showing how much money every single task they do creates. Believe me. They would never pay you if your tasks didn’t generate more money than they need to pay you to do the task.

it’s like having 10 walmarts in one town. they are selling their investors infinite growth by showing a huge uptick in users through unavoidable systems being piled on. like how retail used to sell their investors on square footage going up every year by X amount. it gooses the stock and it doesn’t matter than your losing money or destroying your business doing it, because the stocks going up RIGHT NOW is the only goal.

Because in the US you have to have a legislature willing to impeach the president. and the legislature is currently being controlled by Trump’s party. also the courts. he has 100% control of the government and he’s doing whatever he wants. the only thing that could stop him now is a revolution.

booo… pick a psychosis and stick with it

You gotta make them work hard to kill you.
