    @dangillmor Kind of a balancing act though, isn&amp;#39;t it? Likely would not have become as serious an issue if there were mechanisms for neutralising disinformation. But there aren&amp;#39;t and most people have no defence against concerted propaganda or marketing. In fact, I&amp;#39;ll argue that no one does if the techniques are sophisticated enough.

    @matrig Should never have had to rely on something like either in the first place. A moderate fee based system supported by institutions would have been much better in the long run. And in fact given the migration costs, probably cheaper too.

    @Brad_Rosenheim I share your feeling about this. It wasn&amp;#39;t all that long ago that Biden was the front man from Clinton&amp;#39;s budget cuts, which included climate action.

But as mad as he makes me, he&amp;#39;s still a damn sight better than any Repuke and most Dem Presidents in the last 70 years. Which is the real tragedy.

    @modacitylife@mastodon.world That will probably work well in Holland. It works pretty well in Japan too. With all the anti-bike morons in the US, I&amp;#39;d still want some armor.

    @ncoca Japan has missed a lot of opportunities to do almost anything consequential about anything in the past 30 years. There is an almost self-defeating lethargy and fear that seems to be impeding any reasonable decision making. In fact, almost all decisions seem to be copied from World Bank/WTO/IMF talking points. Cases in point: Japan&amp;#39;s first reaction to doldrums was to follow some Obama admin financial guru and market Japan a tourist destination, which puts it in the same category as...

    @YouGiveMeFever Saving the Republic, or at least delaying its collapse, should be the goal.

    @raymondpert@mstdn.social Given current global politics and Canada&amp;#39;s desire to find a non-White bogeyman, I am doubtful. If it did, would have to go after CIA as well as the US over-wealthy.
