i'm so irritated with Congress rn. Everybody crying about "no leverage!" and "omg what to do about the debt ceiling 😱" "bond markets gonna come for us if it looks like we would default" like YO just tax the billionaires you could pay for all of it SO EASILY and fuck your re-election fund worries don't you understand if the other =(pop. US)-(100,000 billionaires) of us had more disposable income that the PAC-free campaigns that AOC ran could also be yours? #GetMoneyOutOfPolitics starts with you!

thanks for this, I had similar questions. Kind of weird from a cybersecurity perspective to see them call defense against Chinese nation-state cyber objectives xenophobic, considering the decades of evidence that China has supported all kinds of cyber exploits and has had access for we-don't-know-how-long at the network hardware level to all kinds of communications at the highest level. Like yo, do a little looking before you just make assumptions.

We were discussing whether these workers are coerced into the job, with a side debate about their chances at employment following release from prison.

You have consistently disrespected me throughout, without provocation beyond being questioned.

I've tried to make an example of reasonable conversation, I am met with anger and ridicule. I don't see any point to further discussion, you are too childish. Bonne chance 🤓

Right, well despite your best efforts you're highlighting something that goes to my point, inmate fire crews have a better chance at getting jobs after getting out. This program is a successful anti-recitivism effort. How successful it is, we could continue to debate, although by doing so you would capitulate to my argument.

For reference, here's your toot arguing that this program is not helping current inmates get into a better position for work after prison:

Here's how it's done:

You're right, I used the wrong word. I meant to say, metrics. The metrics, aka numbers I presented, of $1/hr, are straight out of the mouths of those actually doing the work we are discussing.

So easy! Unless, I guess, you're you.

Watch the video I posted before you run your mouth off any further. I don't think you have enough information to be this uptight about something that you aren't living with. I'm fourth-gen Californian; you're French. This is not relevant to you the way it is to me. I have family in LA.

I don't really care what a website says, I heard the figure from their own mouths in an interview of inmates at the Palisades fire camp that I watched.

IDK what you mean, active nozzle. They are not trained on hoses, engines, any of that. They are only qualified to clear trees and brush.

_________________________

Those are not comparable; the inmates in fire crews are not forced. It is a volunteer position and based on the interviews of them that I have seen, they would still volunteer to go even if there was no work requirement in prisons. This is a badly researched article. Not even the pay rate is correct, it's $1/hr and they work 24-hr shifts (as do many firefighters). What's more the fighting they are doing is really specific to wildfires, they are clearing brush and trees.

what i wish for in this moment is for local communities to begin to plan around becoming a combo of self-sufficient and really good at trading with other nearby communities for resources that aren't available or sustainable from within. we have to start getting ready for a wide spread collapse because this is going to get worse before it will get better, over the next few decades.

I keep coming back to this, the Jordanian FM Ayman Safadi speaking abt the peace process w/ Israel. He calls out Arab nations in particular but Iran is also one of the members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the group of 57 countries he's referring to.

It's not only that Netanyahu wants to stay in power. It's also all the people who would have to give up their homes to move out of occupied Palestine to make this plan work.

I wholeheartedly agree but I wouldn't put it on the press -- they could modify the way they cover him but the thing is, he _is_ the Republican nominee for POTUS. If it weren't for McConnell's failure to convict after either of his impeachments... if it weren't for the GOP nominating him again (and his mega-donor supporters), Zelenskyy would not have met with him, the press wouldn't cover the latest antics and we would hardly see him in any news stories.

2024-09-21T17:39:39Z

can we please start talking about abortion as an issue that affects every American? Because when a woman needs one, she didn't get there on her own. And (to put it gently) you can't convince me that the parents of teenage _boys_ aren't just as concerned with whether his HS girlfriend has access to an abortion as _her_ parents are. So yeah. Reproductive rights for women is an issue for all of us, protecting those rights is something _everyone_ should be fighting for.

_Oh rascal children of Gaza._
You who constantly disturbed me
with your screams under my window.
You who filled every morning
with rush and chaos.
You who broke my vase
and stole the lonely flower from my balcony.
Come back,
and scream all you want
and break all the vases.
Steal all the flowers.
Come back.
Just come back...
