Are we 1940s Germany?
Are we 1940s Germany? - Lemmy Today
We have Nazis and Nazi-lite -> MAGA We have brown shirts -> ICE. We are blaming immigrants and believing white people are somehow superior. Now we just invaded a country, and say we will invade others. What’s happening here… It feels strange. Is anyone else seeing this?
Waymo and Biking in NYC
Waymo and Biking in NYC - Lemmy Today
As a biker: I don’t know if I’m the lone wolf out here, but I want to stop Waymo. Not only are they are a part of “be evil” google, and not only are they trying to put taxi drivers out of work, creating yet another uber/doordash tech money funneling middleman, and not only is it questionable if anyone is at fault when they hit you - But I want a whole real human brain operating a car. I don’t want some fucking AI that is going hallucinate and think I’m a green light because my biking jacket had some green on it. Anyhow, I am thinking of ways to stop them - let me know if any of you feel the same.
Do you think Americans will be branded something like Nazi?
Do you think Americans will be branded something like Nazi? - Lemmy Today
I wonder if the Germans felt like we do when Hitler was coming to power. A disbelief that normal people could be so evil, and then horror when it was somehow legitimized. When I was growing up, I always thought it was like 80% of Germany that believed in the whole white-super-man, but maybe it was 20%, or maybe less. I just can’t believe that half of America approves of what’s going on. I can’t believe that 20% is so mad that the immigrants that they want to put them in Auschwitz style cages. I wonder if all Americans are going to be branded something like “Nazi” like the Germans were.

Why can't California and New York make their own medicare for all?
Why can't California and New York make their own medicare for all? - Lemmy Today
I want to know why I’m wrong- because this question has been eating at me for years- and I secretly blame the Democrats for all of the health insurance problems. Why can’t California and New York bind together in an interstate compact, and create medicare for all of their citizens? California and New York have GDP’s above most other countries in the world. In general, democrats hold majorities. Tell me why I shouldn’t blame the democrats for: 1. Doing Obama care half assed, when something like 80% people wanted a public option. 2. Not just doing it themselves. For instance even NYC by itself has a GDP above Denmark, and NYC is filled to the brim with the super rich.

Ethics of Luigi
Ethics of Luigi - Lemmy Today
I’m wondering about the Luigi line. Post Trump, it seems as if there is no justice for the rich besides vigilante justice. Would any of the below qualify for a Luigi? Where is the line? I find the cognitive ethical dissonance of Luigi disconcerting. The following list is very dark, and super cynical - I apologize in advance. --------- A pharma company has found a cure for cancer, but suppresses it to make money on treatment. Causing innumerable deaths. A pharma company has found a cure for Alzheimer’s - but suppresses it. Causing suffering. A pharma company knows a drug treatment is ineffective for some major illness, but pushes it anyway, suppressing other research. Causing suffering. A pharma company pushes a drug known to cause massive dependence, with insignificant benefit. Causing suffering. A car company knows an airbag is defective, and does not fix it. Causing thousands of deaths. An airplane manufacturer creates an airplane with faulty construction, knowingly, and thousands die. A manufacturing company pollutes a town’s water, causing birth defects, general sickness. ------------ This list could go on forever of course. But where is the line post Luigi, post Trump non-trial. What makes one CEO at risk, and another not?
