There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

Yes. Consolidation of power. It sucks. They have found we are easier to control when you just have a bad choice and a worse choice. Easier to divide into “us vs them”. And we have too many people that ate lead paint chips when they were young running things that think this is the only way and refuse to change it.
That sounds like they - democrats and republicans - would not have any incentive to change this by law, to make it more fair...
They don’t. Corporations buy them off and force their agenda through the system, further entrenching their power. Also, in America, companies have the same freedoms and rights as individuals, according to Citizens United vs FEC.. So now I’m sure foreign entities are now using this avenue as well to further their agendas.
We need a good old “French Revolution”.
