01:05 IsambardPrince; $93,000 electric trucks didn't go over so well.
01:06 IsambardPrince; You add all the government new car taxes and the extra burden of owning an EV, and it pushes that cost to over $100,000 really.
01:06 IsambardPrince; So it's basically a truck for the cost of a house.

01:29 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2], So NBC and most of the others called California's 45th for the Republican. Now it's actually looking like it will be the Democrat due to late breaking ballots. They rush to call it, and in every case they rush to call it, it's for the Republicans.
01:29 IsambardPrince; Which lets the Republicans claim victory then say they were "swindled" when the other 20% of the votes are actually counted.
01:29 IsambardPrince; This is incredibly aggravating.
01:30 IsambardPrince; The 45th Congressional District has been trending in this direction for years.

01:31 IsambardPrince; It's mostly in Orange County, which used to be a Republican stronghold, but now just barely. But part of the District runs through LA County, the suburbs. That tiny bit has a huge lean to the Democrats.
01:32 TR News; "YOU ARE FIRED HAVE A NICE WEEKEND BYE!"
01:32 IsambardPrince; So the end result is looking like it will be a flip, and the Democrat winning by a handful of votes, due to the LA County part.
01:33 IsambardPrince; California isn't technically gerrymandered because there's an "Independent Redistricting Commission", but it wasn't all that "Independent" this time, and the Republicans were furious about that.

06:34 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2], The Republicans can manage to find plenty of token blacks and Asians and stuff to put in there, when it's necessary to help win that district and it really helps insulate them from accusations. But they find the really horrible ones and nominate them of course, like they tried to run a Vietnamese-American man for the Senate seat in Virginia.
06:34 IsambardPrince; They didn't do it because they like Asian people and want more of them in Congress.
06:35 IsambardPrince; It's the same reason they dug up Herschel Walker and ran him in Georgia. They figured they could maybe win more black votes if they found a washed up football player who had a lot of traumatic brain injury and was really Trumpy (and black).
06:35 IsambardPrince; It's insulting.
06:36 IsambardPrince; Of course you could find some horrible Asian woman to run in Illinois I'm sure. Like Joy, maybe.
06:36 IsambardPrince; They should run Joy for Dick Durban's seat in 2026. Would be fun, right?
06:36 IsambardPrince; I mean, they're definitely out there.

06:38 IsambardPrince; So this Michelle Steel woman in California is one of those ploys. They dug up a "really horrible Asian woman" because she's a homophobe who toes the line on abortion and almost everything else they want.
06:39 IsambardPrince; Jesse Ventura's career in politics was over when he left the Minnesota Governor's office. It was a weird thing. The Democrats and Republicans ganged up on him because they didn't like the Reform Party and they agreed to work together to lead his agenda off into a legislative graveyard.
06:40 IsambardPrince; He was trying to do a lot of good things, but they ganged up on him.
06:42 IsambardPrince; They gave him a show on RT, and then in the middle of his show, the Biden administration pressured all the cable and satellite carriers in the US to drop RT.

08:10 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2], Yeah, Biden was trying to buy a bunch of these things with Defense money and the military said they had no use for them. God knows it's hardly unheard of for the government to buy entire warehouses of things just to "support industry" and then never use it. The Defense budget is something where you can spend whatever you want, on whatever you want, and nobody ever looks at it, or asks why something costs 10 times
08:10 IsambardPrince; more than the contractor said it would. They still blame pilots for all the glitches and malfunctions the F-35 has, and it's caused several of them to crash. Including at least one where they were scrambling to try to retrieve it before the Chinese did. It's almost comical how much of the Defense budget is wasted.
08:12 IsambardPrince; Elon Musk claims he wants to cut $2 trillion from government spending, but after mandatory spending, there's Defense and then there's Non-Defense Discretionary, and all of the Non-Defense budget is $1.7 trillion. Then there's debt interest, which is up to almost $900 million a year now, and cannot be cut without defaulting on debt.
08:12 IsambardPrince; This is like some sort of credit card sickness gone massively out of control, only on a scale of acountry with 330 million people.
08:13 IsambardPrince; The last thing we need is more of these lemon socialism bills like TARP, "Chips and Science" (while Intel is busy firing everyone and setting up a working group with AMD, and might need a merger). The farm subsidies have always been bad, with government warehouses full of cheese and butter.
08:14 IsambardPrince; Part of the reason the debt is out of control is the government tries to stimulate everything all at once, and it mostly leads to destruction of potential and debt.
08:14 *libredev (~libredev@w4s7ck52qnvc2.irc) has joined #techrights

08:24 schestowitz[TR2]; adding
08:25 IsambardPrince; In the past, they argue, what drove debt was largely due to national emergencies, whether wars, economic disasters, or other constrained singular events. That is no longer the case. The foundation points to our aging baby-boom generation, rising healthcare costs, and a tax system that does not bring in enough money to pay for what the government has promised its citizens, they wrote.

09:30 IsambardPrince; We're back to "You're on salary for $35,501 a year. You don't get overtime. Enjoy your 70 hour weeks."
09:30 schestowitz[TR2]; many eachers leave over it
09:30 schestowitz[TR2]; they mark up exams
09:30 schestowitz[TR2]; and on top of that parents call
09:30 schestowitz[TR2]; and sometimes complain
09:30 schestowitz[TR2]; sometimes about total nonsense
09:30 schestowitz[TR2]; you know the neo-nonsense
09:30 IsambardPrince; Yes, they raise a monster.
09:30 IsambardPrince; The monster causes problems at school.
09:30 schestowitz[TR2]; like "my kid.... blah blah blah... felt not comfortable"
09:30 IsambardPrince; Their precious little Timmy is special.
09:30 IsambardPrince; :D
09:31 IsambardPrince; It's everyone else that's the fuckin' problem.
09:31 IsambardPrince; We all know how most parents are.
09:31 schestowitz[TR2]; "don't teach timmy x y z"
09:31 schestowitz[TR2]; "timmy and mommy don't BELIEVE in x y z"

09:31 IsambardPrince; Right, so then you have them demanding equal time for bullshit during Science class.
09:31 schestowitz[TR2]; serios teachers won't take that
09:31 IsambardPrince; Because of feelings.
09:31 schestowitz[TR2]; they will quit
09:32 schestowitz[TR2]; and would rather garden for a living
09:32 IsambardPrince; Then you get criminal Autists who are causing problems at school.
09:32 schestowitz[TR2]; no more of that marking up LLM-generated junk
09:32 IsambardPrince; Drawing pictures of shooting their classmates.
09:32 schestowitz[TR2]; knowing that it's LLM
09:32 schestowitz[TR2]; and still having to read the junk
09:32 *cmb (~cmb@y67qhiej8ixa6.irc) has joined #techrights
09:32 schestowitz[TR2]; and then being told not to teach facts
09:32 schestowitz[TR2]; because facts "hurt"
09:33 schestowitz[TR2]; intelligent design is one example
09:33 schestowitz[TR2]; (creationism as 'science')
09:33 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2], There was a person I was talking to years ago, very briefly.
09:33 schestowitz[TR2]; now there is also this ideaa that genders are moods and feelings
09:33 schestowitz[TR2]; and you can decide on it like an opinion
09:33 IsambardPrince; He saw me using a computer and asked what it was running, and when I said "Linux". He said, "You must be up to something criminal then."
09:33 schestowitz[TR2]; that was 90s
09:34 schestowitz[TR2]; many hackers used it
09:34 schestowitz[TR2]; not hacker hackers
09:34 schestowitz[TR2]; but also hacker hackers
09:34 schestowitz[TR2]; so it was a blent
09:34 IsambardPrince; No, this was 2018 I think.
09:34 schestowitz[TR2]; it just mean "technical"
09:34 schestowitz[TR2]; and to crack things you need technical skill
09:34 IsambardPrince; Yes, I had a Linux partition on my PC in 1998.
09:34 schestowitz[TR2]; it's like saying a person with a hoodie is up to no good
09:34 schestowitz[TR2]; because many who do bad things hide thewitr face
09:35 schestowitz[TR2]; so you deduce hiding a face implies "wanting to steal/stab"
09:35 schestowitz[TR2]; the state likes it
09:35 schestowitz[TR2]; this way it bans privacy
09:35 schestowitz[TR2]; privacy is only "for criminals"
