Oh, I know… but they’ve always been shit and never pretended otherwise. Boycotting Target is to send a message to hopefully get then to stop being as shitty.

Honestly, it all really just seems pointless.

It isn’t just our retirement plans, it’s also our jobs that are tied to the market. When stock prices drop, then companies start tightening their belts, which usually involves layoffs.

I’ve not stepped inside a Walmart in over 10 years, I had shopped almost exclusively at Target, but that stopped after they bent the knee.

I still haven’t gone inside Walmart, but, they have curbside pickup. Do all my shopping through the app and they bring it out to my car. I don’t like that I’m supporting Walmart, but fuck, I’ve gotta get my shit from somewhere and it’s either Amazon, Walmart, Kroger or Target.

Perhaps, but before you label something insane you compare it to all the words that the Biden - and even the Obama - administrations banned.

Oh, wait, there isn’t a list of banned words from those administrations?

Juveniles under age 15 cannot be tried as adults for any offense, according to New Jersey state law. The teen would face a maximum of 20 years in prison if convicted in family court in Essex County.

“He was going to (be prosecuted by) the state which meant that he would have had a very low sentence if he was found guilty, which I’m sure he would be,” Habba added. “I then requested that we take it on and give him a federal charge and charge him as an adult.”

This type of shit isn’t just immoral, but it should also be illegal. And ultimately, if we ever become a country that cares at all about justice, then this is going to result in his case being thrown out since the charges should be state charges, and the state would not try him as an adult.

When are we going to have enough as a country?

Or getting it into a currency that isn’t also dropping in value.

Dems were hoping that it would be a close election… there was no real expectation that they would win.

Expecting your friends to backstab you means you know you aren’t a good friend.

I wonder how difficult it would be to create a 3D printed part that could hold thermite to a road flair that is rigged to ignite on impact after being dropped from a quadcopter?

It’s just really fucking fun to do! Everyone should try tossing a molatov cocktail at a Tesla.

But there’s a chance the foster family would at least get them their vaccinations.

Who’s making excuses? I believe I made it abundantly clear that these changes are bullshit. But it is also shitty journalism to heavily imply that everyone on Social Security is going to have to start going to a SSA office in person, when that is not the case.

And yes, community won’t be able to replace this system… but maybe we should still try, because like it or not, the fascists are currently in control and we need to do something to cover the gap between when things start getting bad (now) to when things are really bad (later) to when things are hopefully getting better (much later). But assholes will still flock to the comments to fight amongst themselves screaming that the lack of a perfect solution means we shouldn’t do anything.

I never said, nor implied, that Biden’s apparent lack of authority was his fault. Also, my name is Bob, not Lemmy.

No, the headline and summary above are leaving out the fact that you can still access the SSA through their website. This is just removing the telephone option, and if you can’t use the website then the only other option is to go to an office. I’m assuming that since you are on Lemmy, you have internet access.

Beginning March 31st, people will no longer be able to verify their identity to the SSA over the phone and those who cannot properly verify their identity over the agency’s “my Social Security” online service, will be required to visit an agency field office in person to complete the verification process, agency leadership told reporters Tuesday.

The headline and the summary are omitting this very important part: ‘those who cannot use their online service’. The change from the trump administration is complete bullshit, but the article isn’t doing any favors by making it sound like an in-person visit is the only way to interact with SSA.

What we need to do is create community groups that are able to pick up this slack. Check in on people on Social Security, bring computers and mobile hotspots to people’s homes to help them. Credit Unions should offer this service when someone on Social Security opens a new account and will need to have their checks coming to a new account. If someone does need to go to a Social Security office then people in the community should make sure they have a ride. People could even setup shop outside of a Social Security office to help people who may not actually need be at the Social Security office, which will help to ease the strain on the SSA, opening up spots for people who actually need to be there.

It is bullshit, but we can’t rely on the government any more and we need to build community systems to help those that trump is letting down.

Please, no blasphemy.

Also, it didn’t start with Harambe… it started with the end of the world in 2012. Harambe was just another casualty of the Mayan Calendar.

Last month, a federal judge blocked the Biden administration-era SAVE plan, an income-driven student loan replacement program with 8 million borrowers, claiming it lacked the authority to forgive millions of dollars in debt.

It’s almost funny how when Biden was President he had no authority to do anything, however trump doesn’t seem to have that issue as much. Almost funny.

Except it isn’t stupid bullshit. They are giving the money to musk so that they can get something they want done. This also gives musk more power as he’s able to buy more people.

Let the ‘good ol’ boys’ know that the rolling coal equivalent for an electric vehicle is to connect the battery to the frame. That’ll really show the libs!
