  • Corporations can vote in some Delaware elections, judge says

    Jump

  • How? Wouldn't they have to go through a voter registration process that requires a voter id and ss#, and who casts the vote? The CEO or someone selected from the board?.. and couldn't some rich asshole just start a whole bunch of corporations to give themselves as many votes as they want? This blatantly goes against the one person one vote principle.

  • Plan to replace Missouri income tax with expanded sales tax heads to voters

    Jump

  • Everyone's already complaining about things costing too much, but I'm sure it'll pass anyway...

  • Explain Like I am a child ... taxes. I get you pay taxes on goods you buy everyday. And you get said goods by paying a one time fee. But how come on a home after being paid off I still pay taxes......

    Jump

  • The choice is between sales tax or property tax. Different counties and states can have different policies regarding that. What it comes down to is who should be paying more in taxes given the overall amount collected stays the same. If you put more emphasis on sales tax, then more of the tax burden is put on people with less wealth who don't own properties. If you put more emphasis on property tax, then more of the tax burden is on wealthier people who do own properties. So the question is who should have a bigger tax burden, rich or poor?

  • Artemis II: The 40 minutes when the astronauts lose contact with Earth

  • If the plan is to go back to the moon with a more permanent presence, then maybe they should send some communication satellites..

  • MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell served with legal documents during live TV interview

    Jump

  • I thought I remember reading that she wanted some kind of promotion, maybe a cabinet postition or something but was passed over, so she left that group of grifters to start her own.

  • In a reversal of a historic trend, Americans are now becoming more liberal as they age, not more conservative. This may have large implications for issues like UBI, as robots & AI take over human jobs

    Jump

  • What concerns me is that I always thought younger people were usually liberal by a pretty large majority, but now it seems like a bigger portion are conservative than in the past. So they might become more liberal as they age but they're starting further right than they used to. Kids who grew up through trups first term probably think this shit is normal. American principles have been eroded or completely re-defined, and they have no clue what we used to be and used to strive for.

  • Peter Thiel and Jeffrey Epstein Had a Yearslong Relationship

    Jump

  • Sascha Riley. Haven't read much about it yet to know how credible it is, but he was in the military and got called in to talk to superiors when some other soldier got caught with cp and one of the pictures was Riley when he was a kid.

  • Report: U.S. Commander Told Troops “Trump Has Been Anointed by Jesus” to Wage War on Iran

    Trump says he’ll sign an executive order to enact a 10% global tariff

    Jump

  • ... so the US is constantly getting ripped off by trade deals, but somehow is still the richest country the world has ever known... make it make sense..

  • Quantum teleportation demonstrated over existing fiber networks — Deutsche Telekom’s T‑Labs used commercially available Qunnect hardware for the demo, claims 90% average accuracy

    Jump

  • As someone who also doesn't fully understand quantum entanglement.. is it that when two particles are entangled and far apart, when we observe them they will always be in the same state? Is there any way to manipulate that state? If so, it seems like it would be pretty straight forward to use it for faster than light communications.

  • The Feds Targeted Charlotte. Now a Local Democrat Who Helped ICE Faces Voters.

    Jump

  • I always thought this country valued freedom.. nobody "MUST" do anything relating to culture.

  • US has ‘squandered’ its claim to world leadership under Trump, German chancellor Merz suggests

    Jump

  • I had a thought the other day that I'm not nearly financially literate enough to know how true it is, but with all the talk about stocks going up, couldn't that be an effect of the dollar going down?

  • UK House of Lords Votes to Extend Age Verification to VPNs

    Jump

  • I will say that I don't live in the UK, so maybe it works differently. I'm assuming internet plans include some kind of service contract you have to sign, and minors can't legally sign contracts without parental consent. So every internet connection is the responsibility of the adult who did sign it. If kids are going to be using it then it is their responsibility to put parental controls on their network and devices.

    But like the other response said, its not actually about protecting kids. Basically, if a politician ever says those words, its almost certainly an attempt to take away freedom.

  • UK House of Lords Votes to Extend Age Verification to VPNs

    Jump

  • What happened to the assumtion that people on the internet are all adults. No kid is signing a contract for a phone or internet plan. They are on the internet through the permission of an adult who has. Its the responsibility of that adult to make sure they don't do anything they shouldn't. Don't make it other people's problem that you can't control your kids. We shouldn't try to kid-proof the world.

  • Taking acetaminophen during pregnancy does not increase risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disabilities

    Jump

  • Wasn't the whole point of that announcement to make the stock price of the company that owns the patent for Tylenol plummet so that some donor to this administration could buy the company cheaply?

  • Just Days From SLS Rollout, Here’s the Latest Update for NASA's Artemis 2 Mission

    Jump

  • I know this is just semantics, but is it really "beyond earth's orbit"? If the moon orbits the earth, then isn't the moon still in earth's orbit?

  • Just Days From SLS Rollout, Here’s the Latest Update for NASA's Artemis 2 Mission

    Jump

  • It just doesn't feel as exciting as it should be. It feels more like a distraction from everything else. With all the cuts to NASA's budget, I'm just waiting for them to cancel the whole Artemis program..

  • California's ban on openly carrying guns is unconstitutional, appeals court rules

    Jump

  • If open carry is legal then any psycho could commit mass murder at any second, and no cops or anybody could do anything until after they start opening fire. On the other hand, if it is illegal then cops could step in at the first sight of a gun.
