So basically her brother had his (ex?) wife arrested by ice just so the fuck face could get child custody

Man, what a "wonderful" family that is, one big collection of psychopaths

That kid never stood a chance, being born into that family

I've been probably saying that for longer than you have been alive

Wanting: tangent rant incoming about the site, not the article.

JFC, what a horrible source, that site is cancer

Yeah, that is a lie

Well fucking A, I have the right to object, but you'll do it anyway

Great to know that you and your 1540 fucking partners all together respecty privacy, i feel so much fucking better already!

And mind you, this shit is the best we can get with the gdpr. Without that, it would be a hundred times worse than this.

But okay, let's reject everything and try to read the article, shall we? Read the intro paragraph, okay, scroll down a little to read the next and boom I now have a search bar covering half of my page? That's weird, where did that come from? It's blocking literally 50% of the page, I can't read shit. How can I get rid of this? Oh, a close button. Let's naively close this, naively because we already know better but anyway, click... Aaaaaaand it was a fucking ad. Okay go back, reload page, scroll down aaaaand half the page blocked with another ad

So as you might have figured, this browser didn't have an ad blocker (using Lemmy connects internal browser here) andr the site is completely and 100% useless, I can't read it on a mobile device. So why even bother, then?

I'll be adding themirror to my permanent block list right now, I won't ever be able to see anything from that site ever again. I suggest you all do the same and that we add themirror to a list of banned sources for this sub or, better, this instance.

I'm so SO sick and tired of the crap that is now the internet. I gettit, these guys too need to earn a living, but there are better ways to set this up.

Let's make a world wide independent foundation funded by all governments and that one can pay news organizations to write news. The only rule should be "be independent and truthful". This is just a single dumb example, I'm sure there are even better ways but FFS, anything is better than this shit

I'm getting to the point where I think I'll build a web scraper that will just take out the text, maybe a few relevant images, and the render that into a page that shows just that. I know a few sites that can already do that but I'd like something for myself, just self hosted or something.

Yes, it's the middle of the night and yes, I cannot sleep and yes, this pisses me off because I just wanted to read some news to relax but instead I have to furiously rant because these fuckers again didn't know that enough should be enough

/Rant

Again

Prohibit billionaires

Cap all netwoths at 10-20 million dollars per person, tops.

Companies should not be worth more than 1 billion dollars, cap it.

Anything over that has automatically 100% go to taxes

Well end up with -instead of one trillion dollar compant- tens of thousands of centillion dollar worth companies, you know, those that aren't too big to fail and that won't need bailouts

Well end up with a government that gets so much tax income that it can afford free education, free healthcare, hell, UBI even.

Noone will be super rich and or powerful ever again, no one will be able to usurp all resources for themselves.

Humanity spent 2000 years on perfecting the "0.1% must get as Uber rich as possible" and we got it down to an art to concentrate as much wealth as possible with as little people as possible. It is NOT normal, it is NOT acceptable, ajf it has to stop NOW! It's destroying our world, literally, as these assholes are the main drivers behind climate change.

Here I am making sure to use as little water as possible and all of my life long work gets thrown into he garbage because miss multimillionaire needs to do grocery shopping with her fucking private jet.

While on this bandwagon, ban all private jets, even for politicians. Maybe maybe we can keep a few as a sort of air ambulance or something z that should be fine, but all the rest, BAN IT. Same for theega yachts, outright world wide ban.

It is bizarre to me that most people just act as if all this is perfectly fine and acceptable. There is no right, no reason why anyone should have a higher net worth than (say) 10 million, so why do we allow this to happen in the first place?

Haven't we learned anything?

Let's just call that bullshit, just like the clickbait site where this article is from l. Can we just van that source?

IF the Democrats get a huge win, like in the 70%or something, I'm sure they'll squander it like there is no tomorrow. They VOULD impeach trump a dozen times over but they'll start just threatening with letters or some shit.

The US Democrats are the worst political group world wide, only surpassed by US Republicans who are just plain evil clowns

The real question is what are 99.9999% of the humans that can't decide about this going to do about this?

The politicians obviously don't give a shit, they had well over a 100 years (not even kidding , earth warming due to CO2 was already know about in the 1899s somewhere) to know about this and do something about this.

They didn't do anything, being more interested in their donors and being reelected

The billionaires literally are spending a million times the amount of CO2 that a normal person does

So what is the rest of us going to do while they literally are setting fire to the only world in the fucking universe that ever had life, as far as we know anyway?

I mean seriously, how am I bit supposed to see then as a threat to the survival of the human race, or for that matter, my own? My wife's? My children?

Well then,let's get rid of both

Restart the US as a new atheist state where people can behave like grown ups

Aaaaaand we never bought it anyway, we just have more reasons now to ever buy it in the future

When it comes to big companies like these, never forgive, never forget. Let then go bankrupt and make place for smaller companies that give a fuck

Because extremely rich people have gotten extremely much richer and they still want more

They dont give a shit if the world blows up. They think they have money, they think their money will save them, they think they can build their zombie fortress and they'll be fine

They won't, of course but that is besides the point

Then here are the tech bros who think that just another datacenter will for sure give us real AI that will magically solve all our problems tomorrow, just give us a few billion dollars more, it will surely work this time bro! And politicians, the idiots that they all are, actually listen to that, and believe it.

Then there are the dumb votes who hear climate change and hear "tax raising" because of course they're right because instead of taking the billions from the billionaire donors, politicians will just have the poor pay for whatever fix, just as we, the people had to get rid of straws because that will fix it, just as we the people will have to start paying.kore for food and and and...

Instead we need only one fucking politician in charge who is willing to cap net worth at 10 million dollars. After that, all your income goes to taxes. Companies must be capped at a billion dollars networth. Anything over that, 100% to tax.

THAT will give a good income that can be used for a great socialist framework with free healthcare, free housing, free education, free all the basics, maybe even UBI. THAT will give governments the money to invest in climate change but also invest in thousands more smaller companies that can innovate instead of resting on brand recognition.

Fuck the rich and powerful, they must ALL be stripped down to normal levels of we want to survive

So-called “bossware” lets managers keep a close eye on employees' activity, tracking everything from knowledge workers’ website visits to the gait and facial expressions of those involved in more physical activities.

It would be so hard to not furiously masturbate to the camera just to shock the fuck out of those assholes.

Anyways, this is sick behavior. If you have so little trust in your employees, than you are the problem, not them

Oohh, can't wait for trump to freak out.

Can you imagine? Making cars safer for.. for women? Eeeeeww!
