Annoyance Capitalism: When a company creates a service, creates a problem that makes the service worse, and then required customers to pay to remove or reduce the problem.

I think it's important to clarify that it's a reflection on the White American Voters.
A lot of people want to cast the blame for the outcome of the 2024 election on Harris and on the Democratic Party in general.
But this was a reflection on American voters.
People all over the world gasped in unbelief as we elected a felon. And are now like “well, this corruption is surprising!”

To really understand the government of a society, one must look at how it treats immigrants. It tells you what the government would treat citizens like were it unrestrained.
It's the nation-sized version of The Waiter Rule.

Incredibly important piece about the misery and harm caused by extortionate immigration fees, please do take a few minutes to read >
The UK government is making upwards of £4.9bn in profit from visa fees, citizenship fees & the immigration health surcharge. Meanwhile, people are getting into thousands of pounds of debt or going without food just to afford to these immigration fees.

American politics is fairly easy to understand.
Start with this basic premise and work from there: Racists in power will not be held accountable by other racists (those in power, or voting racists) if that means a less-racist person will gain power.

Sometimes I wonder how many Dutch people know that Mark Rutte was their version of the USA's Ronald Reagan: the start of the never-ending downward fall to the right-wing.

The platform will be set at the 2028 convention. So saying “abolishing ICE is now the official position of the Democratic Party” is misleading.

Nothing says pragmatic like voting for the policies and people that lost to Trump.

Here's the thing: either the D's become progressives, or the USA becomes openly fascist.
The path of 'pragmatism' is the path that has created the *ever increasing worsening* that we see today.

They said ICE is confining people with tuberculosis where they usually put problematic prisoners. Some are spitting up blood but not getting medical care.
And the rest: "There is a flu in this place that never goes away because we are overcrowded 76 in a single cell..."

Leaked video from an ICE camp details people suffering from tuberculosis, a never ending “flu” & conjunctivitis.
ICE enforcement is a mass disabling event.
These are concentration camps.
They’re a breeding ground for disease which will lead to preventable suffering, disability and death.
