politics @lemmy.world•Margaret Brennan Confronts Kristi Noem on Trump’s ‘Federalizing’ CA National Guard — Which She Opposed Just Last Year
22·1 year agoFlip-flopping on states rights is conservative bread and butter. When conservatives control the federal government there is no such thing as state rights and when they don’t it’s federal overreach. This endless news cycle with these talking heads ceaselessly babbling is normalizing that words don’t actually matter. Politicians will say the exact opposite thing with equal conviction.
The older I get the more I favor unions because they seem to support the idea of seniority. However, assigning benefits based on seniority doesn’t seem like a very effective solution for a well functioning system. Gotta hand it to the Republicans. They ran with a crazy ass fucking disrupter and it’s worked for them. Wish the democrats had the balls to roll with Bernie 9 years ago.

The real problem is the ultra wealthy have different rules. So adding special rules for AI companies won’t make any difference because they are all rich and those rules aren’t changing.
