The problem with shit like this is that all those Christians are absolutely going to vote Republican in November.

They would absolutely re-elect him if he ran again.

They would 100% believe him if he told them that he learned his lesson.

I agree with your vibe, especially supporting local craftsmen. But buying American a bit more complicated than looking for the “Made in the USA” sticker.

Some “made in the USA” stuff is prison labor. These companies are profiting off of prisoners. It’s better than slave/child labor overseas but it sucks all around.

Another aspect is that politics around the “Made in the USA” are merky. Final assembly can occur here in the US but it doesn’t mean that it was “made” here.

I went into a deep dive a few years back and found that because of various loopholes, American branded cars are often made in Mexico and then “finished” in the US whereas most foreign brands are assembled in the US.

All of this to say: until we escape late stage capitalism, it’s hard to know for sure how to best support Americans.

There is a right way to do this and a wrong way. I’ve seen it done the wrong way plenty of times but I’ve also seen this done the right way.

Most recently, there was a push to get rid of Microsoft Word, etc. and we were moving to Google Workplace.

They made it clear that there would be training available throughout the transition and that approvals for exceptions would require division head sign off (essentially the VP).

The day of, there were signs everywhere for how to get help. Extra people were hired to help people migrate. They were trained to get people out of Microsoft and into Drive. Prizes for best report. Slack channels, office hours, helpdesk, and even in person questions.

Company put their money where their mouth was.

It was the best case I saw of a company actually understanding how much of a pain it was going to be and doing what they could to lessen the burden.

Compare that to another company I worked with that went from Macs to PC. “You figure it out.” And IT support went off-shore.

So yeah I get where you’re coming from. But if an IT department handled a roll out the right way, I would volunteer for help desk.

By introducing a bill to repeal it.

Stop trying to argue with Trump. It doesn’t matter if the crime rate in Vatican City is zero. He’ll just move the goal posts.

The only shit these assholes understand is a blow to their ego.

Like how they are in the Epstein files and that means they are child rapists.

Honestly, this is such a great idea. Get the IT team to create a bootable distro with all the apps the average user needs. Have a video they can watch to get the basics down, have IT available to install one-off software.

At the end of the week give people the choice to keep going or go back to Windows/Mac and get feedback.

Try again in a couple of quarters.

Most people use web-based apps anyway.

I’d love to see Bernie repeal the special law that Congress put into place to prevent people from looking up private plane information.

The only leverage the US has is having a shitton of ordnance against a world that seems apathetic to the pummeling of a non-white country.

THAT’S what’s bringing Iran to the table.

This is what gets conservative dicks hard. Not out of a pursuit of peace or stability. But out of wanting to show the world that they are powerful.

Not just “ID” but a fucking birth certificate.

Which, of all the documents that can be faked, it’s that one.

No picture. Just a piece of paper with a name, weight and parents’ names.

Phew. I thought it would be all day.

It’s the same with minorities who are racist.

There are assholes in every society.

Just because they are marginalized by someone else doesn’t make them any less of an asshole.

It makes them conservatives.

It’s in my contacts so Gboard brings it up as a suggestion after writing the.

I use thepresident@whitehouse.gov. The only website I’ve found that won’t take this address is quiznos wifi

Jfc you weren’t kidding.

Taylor v. Google or just search class action

States can do it but Trump is pushing his agenda down State’s throats and some of them are gargling his balls happily, which makes it harder for other states not to comply.

More states need to sign the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

I find nothing wrong with stealing features from Reddit. Lemmy is a link aggregator, like Reddit.

Shadow banning shouldn’t be used on humans who are annoying but would for spammers.

Unhelpful bots should be shadow banned if they keep evading bans

I mean it’s literally machine learning. Every time it’s blocked it learns that it was detected as human and then tries again.

Lemmy needs a shadow ban function for these accounts

• Obama got elected in 2008
• the common abbreviation for the year 08
• Obama is the first black President
• 08 - 1 = 7
• average horse has 7 horsepower
