The SC could just make a bullshit ruling that this only applies fo4 being elected president, rather than becoming president through succession.

Is public healthcare actually made illegal by the supreme court?

No, Citizens United is the effective legalization of public bribery, masked as "political donations".

The problem is that you're never going to get that grassroots movement built up. The healthcare companies rake in billions, they'll happily spend that to ensure they can keep existing. And other billionaire corporations will join in too, because why risk a party willing to deal with healtcare companies getting power? What else will that party do that could harm their precious profits?

They'll invest billions to primary candidates, buy media coverage, demonize their opponents or even fabricate fake negative PR. That grassroots movement would be stamped out, as you won't be able to get enough votes. That'll put a party like the GOP in charge and they will pass as many voter disenfranchisement laws, gerrymandering laws, etc... to ensure you need massive majorities to barely get 50% of the representation.

People are already pissed with the state of healthcare, so much so that they're collectively cheering for the murder of a CEO. Yet no grassroots campaign is in sight. By the time the next election rolls around American voters will already have forgotten about that CEO and will be more concerned about inflation or migration or whatever-the-fuck the media has decided to focus on.

I think by the time you get enough Americans on board with a grassroots campaign powerful enough to actually make changes, you are at such a high level of public anger a violent revolution is nearly inevitable.

I've toyed with this game concept in my head for a while, really happy to see some studio just built it. It looks a lot like what I had envisioned!

Instant wishlist for me!

You could become president with an attitude like that!

Either:

  • The report incriminates him, and Johnson is defending a paedophile.
  • The report exonerates him, and Johnson is actively preventing Gaetz' exoneration.

Both options make Johnson a shitstain.

Plenty of fun to be had with LLMs.

Nah, but there were some Linux evangelists claiming this couldn't possibly happen to Linux and it only happened to Windows because Windows is bad. And it was your own fault for getting this BSOD if you're still running Windows.

And sure, Windows bad and all, but this one wasn't really Microsofts fault.

If Microsoft is unable to verify ownership of the account, they shouldn't take ownership of your files.

It's only an Oxford comma if it's from the region of Oxford. Otherwise it's just sparkling interpunction.

I don't think about them at all to be honest. Total disinterest.

I'm not sure if Milei has been in power for long enough to have any sort of meaningful impact.

I don't expect him to have a positive impact, mind. But it always takes a bit of time before things change.

Client running code should always be considered compromisable, that's security 101. Relying on kernel module checks is a terrible practice, and not a fundamental guarantee of safety either.

Good, secure anti-cheat happens serverside. But that's harder and less broadly applicable, so Epic doesn't want to bother with it.
