If energy becomes cheap, they lose money. If the stock market doesn’t see their profits rise every quarter, they will trade for less.
These major corps think of societal impact only in the monetary/cash flow sense and lobby heavily to support their position.
We’d need to adjust some rules, and educate more people on nuclear power
They wont unless it’s a near total monopoly. They’re always aiming for 10% gains every year for their investors.
The amount of people who use ad blockers is somewhere around 10% according to some articles, so I’m guessing this ad block push is to scoop up 10% more in ad revenue
OpenAi’s majority share holder is Microsoft, and they’ve already given OpenAI billions
Well yeah, as much as I dislike apple, the majority of Google’s income comes from advertising - and to be the best at it, they need to have more personal data than everyone else, which = lots of tracking.
How do we open source hardware and make it competitive? If we figure that out, maybe we can break free of yet another 2 party system we’re creating lol
It doesn’t really matter, he’s just a putz
Lol no, this is just how it goes on Lemmy in political channels. If you don’t want negative karma here, don’t say anything that objects to “left leaning views” (how far left can vary)
It’s good to not solely exist in agreeable echo chambers, so here I am
Might be a nice change of pace, he’s been fucking me for a while now.
With the white supremacy shit, I was referring to Chris Barber and Tamara Lich - the two most prominent leaders of that whole thing.
I didn’t have the information about Pat King prior, so again thank you for that - I stand partially corrected.
The message that shouldn’t be destroyed is basically “hold your government accountable, and do not let them overstep”. Too many of these politicians get away with everything, and it feels like infighting is all we’re left with. At the very least I think this is something we can agree on.
I’ve never supported or mentioned PP, I’m not sure where you’re drawing that from.
The dudes a career politician - that’s not far from being a salesperson your whole life. It’s debatable which is worse though, a career politician or a trust fund drama teacher lol
Don’t resort to name calling though, makes you seem unintelligent
One person produced info (that person’s awesome), the rest was arbitrary speculation and conjecture.
I’ll stand thanks
Yeah that looks like a racist ass statement from that Pat King guy for sure. I don’t support that shit. But thank you for sharing (even though I was asking about Chris Barber).
The rest of that (the 2 out of touch pictures, and the dude urinating on a grave) doesn’t capture the essence of what this meant for most people that supported the cause. It’s like the BLM protests, a few bad actors shouldn’t ruin the message for everyone.
Rachel Gillmore, who wrote that first article you posted, was laid off from global news after all that. Reasons are unclear…
But thank you again for providing sources, sincerely.
If you think stupidity lives only on one end of the political spectrum, you’re going to be in for a bad time. Every group has their rednecks.
Willful ignorance exists heavily on both sides too. There was some willful ignorance about how effective the covid vaccine was when the government started mandating it everywhere they could.
Now that a huge portion of our population received the never-used-before (and rushed) vaccine, we know it’s not that effective. Hopefully this story ends here. The fact that this became very political should’ve been a huge red flag to everyone.
Here’s some references for you if your unsure where I’m getting this “effectiveness” data from:

The “medical freedom” crowd, in this instance, were ensuring the government doesn’t over step, as it likes to do.
If we’d stop with this tribalistic bullshit we could hold our governments more accountable and have them be more transparent. But we’re a divided mess - we won’t be able to do anything good until we find our middle ground.
Once we do, then no more Trumps, no more Trudeaus, just public servants doing what public servants should.
Oh nice, thanks for the suggestion I’ll try it out. I don’t use the curved text in photoshop, that’s usually done in illustrator in my workflow
No I don’t need a picture, I’m just curious what words you and him exchanged in this first hand account
I’m glad it’s not you that gets to gate keep protests then.
They were protesting to stop the ridiculous mandates the government imposed with little to no scientific reasoning. Stop pretending this is some racist issue.
Do you have any evidence of this outside of third hand anecdotal hear say? Or is it just the talking heads that push this?
If you do, I’ll stand corrected
In the Canadian govs eyes, he’s not the leader.
Tamara and Chris are in court right now for charges about leading the convoy.
You let protestors, protest. Especially when it’s not violent. The only injuries sustained in this protest were given to an old lady vs a police horse. You can’t just throw the money on the street - someone has to organize it.
Why do you want the government to have so much control?
Tamara lich/Chris Barber are white supremacists? How’d you come to that conclusion? Or are you confusing 2 different groups?
Yes you’re right about those politicians on the right trying to exclude people - the Christian nationalists in the US are horrible, so much for separation from state and church
You didn’t see any of the SNC lavalin stuff did you?
What about his black face costume?
How about the law to make social media companies pay news outlets for having their articles shared on those platforms, then producing radio ads saying “meta and google are blocking your news!!”
How about freezing the bank accounts of nonviolent protestors and anyone who supported them
He shrugs all of that off, and goes by that narcissistic prayer. I’m not sure why anyone is defending this guy lol, is it just because he’s affiliated with the liberal party?
He just recently had to pull back his over priced carbon tax because we’re all too broke. This plan literally only hurts the poor classes.
god forbid we stop this left vs right nonsense and come together
Yeah but I’d rather not have the mods remove anything - it’s the ol’ “how do we fact check the fact checkers” conundrum.
One instance of an object or subject, can be viewed completely differently relative to your position in space and time. The observations of how something is functioning can be completely different from one observer to another, yet they can both be correct at the same time.
So how exactly do you tell the truths from the untruths without proving intentional manipulation in the first place?
