You’re working under the assumption that Puerto Ricans saw Trump either favorably or neutrally before this incident.
Ah, yes. Nintendo has definitely done evil on the level of… checks notes …slavery.

Might want to reevaluate your list there.
She would not be the first to be corrupted by his influence.. It also doesn’t help that his proteges have all been running SF local government for years. It seems insane to me to dismiss their relationship as not a concern. It’s not a dealbreaker for me, but it seems absurd to think she is “squeaky clean” in light of it. I can be pro-Harris and express some critiques.
Nice deflection
Lol, they literally dated right before her political career started. I see you didn’t do the minimum effort to even look into what I was talking about.
I never intended it to be proof, so I don’t see your point.
Nope. However she has ties to Willie Brown, who is a notoriously corrupt politician in the San Francisco area. It’s a “where there is smoke…” situation. My point is not to assert that she has dirt but to point out that declaring there is no dirt might be a bit dubious.
there is simply no dirt on her
Listen, I’m backing the Harris campaign 100%, but if you look at the history of San Francisco area politicians, you will see that very few are “clean.” I would not be surprised if it was the same for her.
I’d be curious to get some good numbers on this. From a cursory search I got the impression that a very small proportion of homes are AirBnB rentals, but I’m definitely open to looking at conflicting data. Corporate ownership of homes is definitely a problem, and I certainly hope that part of this plan is to prevent these homes from being sold to investors rather than residents. No one is saying we can’t build more homes and address the underlying cause of the shortage at the same time. I know that 3 million homes is not a lot relative to the country’s population. However I am not ready to write them off as useless, since strategically placing these homes in the right areas may still have a significant impact.___
There are plenty of homes already.
Plenty of homes where? In my city, which is a major job center, there are hardly any houses for sale. It doesn’t really matter if there are plenty of houses 1+ hours away from my job.
Lol, I have come to the conclusion that I want less of whatever this is. Here’s your medal for winning whatever debate you thought we were having. 🏅
I mean, I’m not calling for a police state to shut down cake day or something. Just saying cake day was a shallow activity imo. People can choose to do whatever they want, but I would rather us think about what was actually valuable about reddit rather than just importing whatever preexisting culture there was.
You’re getting a lot of retorts in response to your comment, but I 100% agree. Sure telling people happy cake day is fun the first few times, but it inevitably just becomes stale. One of the things that made reddit not enjoyable was people parroting the same phrases all over the site.
A counterexample to this is the cops in the Covenant School shooting in Nashville that happened not too long afterward. You can find the body cam footage and see cops just doing their job correctly. I know we see a lot of new about our cops failing to do their duty in the US, but every once in a while you can see them doing their job right.
they pretty much saved the whole AI industry
Sam Altman could’ve vanished from the face of the Earth, and AI would be fine. There are so many big players (including Microsoft) in the game and so many other AI researchers that things would’ve likely continued going strong.
