I still don’t understand why they let budget bills get stuffed with unrelated laws. Seems like those should be separate bills, not hidden in must pass legislation.
Lobbyists would never.
The state now controls the means of production?
Sounds dangerously Communist!
Socialism for the rich, unions for the dogs and scraps for the rest.
Unions are for everyone, what?
How strong is your union compared to the police union?
My what an unrelated and strangely slightly off-topic question. Whatever are you getting at?
"Dogs" in "unions for the dogs" refers to cops. And police unions are stupidly powerful.
Pretty sure that’s not what they meant. No one calls cops “dogs”
Yes they do? They are the guard/attack dogs of the bourgeoisie that reigns in the cattle (the rest of us). That metaphor isn't exactly new.
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you are not a native English speaker and not just sea lioning. Here is the break down for you:
Socialism for the rich = subsidized losses for the rich, see every bailout for the past forever
Unions for the dogs = police unions. Incredibly powerful unions that prevent cops from being held accountable in any way. They can kill a guy and the union will prevent them from being fired. All other unions are subject to union breaking efforts often by means of the police
Scraps for the rest = you get nothing, you own nothing, your unions will be attacked by all means available
Hell yeah I am a smart purson... They verbose yo
Oooh, Louis Rossman is going to be PISSED * grabs popcorn *
He's now talking at Mach3.
Even if something like this were to actually come to fruition, I have to imagine that all it would really result in is kind of like when the EU used to have less strict guidelines on wireless technologies and in America you could just flash the European firmware to get longer range. Surely there will just be a New York specific firmware and then you can flash the firmware from somewhere else.
From the actual bill:
HOWEVER, THAT IF THE WORKING GROUP DETERMINES THAT IT IS NOT TECHNOLOGICALLY FEASIBLE TO REQUIRE THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTERS SOLD IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK TO INCLUDE BLOCKING TECHNOLOGY, THE WORKING GROUP SHALL SO REPORT, AND NO REGULATIONS SHALL BE REQUIRED TO BE PROMULGATED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE WORKING GROUP DETER- MINES THAT IT IS TECHNOLOGICALLY FEASIBLE.
Considering the number of open source 3d printers, and mills, plus conversion packages for manual mills, It's ludicrous to assume it's feasible. And NY has nowhere near the manufacturing monopoly to force the rest of the country, let alone the world, to comply with a demand that all of them have blocking systems.
Even given the safety check of a working group, this same bill also makes a stick illegal. So it's more than likely to fail on a few challenges, assuming it even makes it to final vote in this form.
They start with closed source and will close the open source loop hole in a future bill. This is boiling frogs if anything.
It's even better than that - for them.
With this bill the legislation is effectively now on the books but in a dormant state where it can be selectively activated at any future time and with whatever scope the 'working group' decide.
Scan "your design"...so goodbye to IP "intellectual property" / a new patentable idea..- imagine companies spending billions on developing new product...only to have it counterfeited by others I am so sick and tired of positive people. Sheep to the slaughter.
Meh, "Goodbye to IP" would be a good thing, lol. But of course, the corpos and businesses would be able to buy back their privacy. I.e., this ban and the scanning of 3D prints would be used to oppress the proletariat, to prevent our liberation specifically, as all States do. Intellectual property really has nothing to do with it.
given the situation it is not good... ameriturds may never reach their full pontential.... we got a dum dum legacy so, fuck IP but yet we ain't got no fucking leverage and turdherd is going to go along with it like they always do. I knew the department of homeland security was just a fascist front. I remember 9/11 people ran wild... no one thought and they had no gawd damn framework. We are gettin dumber everyday. It is crazy paying attention and getting older. There is no war but the class war.
Progressive mandani where you at fool.... libturds larping as the left. Billionares are dominating you.
Not exactly sure what the mayor of NYC can do re state regulations? But i don't live in the US, what do i know
The mayor is a democrat. The party as a whole is unified against the working class. They all lick the boots of capital. They all in on it. Businesses exist in NYC will go belly up and there designs will be owned and be used to train chatgipity. He is very much aware of this bill and is too much of a coward to say anything. He is only self intersted just like AOC. Just like obamas campain they are good at optics. It will affect his people. Look at trump hes got somthing to say about everything. We in america need real leaders asap.
I don't mean to be rude or start shit or anything, but are you maybe a little stupid?
They seem like a right winger arguing things in bad faith so yeah, I think they’re a little stupid
Uh no I am not a right winger you are... but you in denial . Bad faith come on now... your tribe is wack
I am enjoying how you continue to prove me right with each comment. I doubt you are capable of meaningful discourse since all you do is cry “everyone who disagrees with me is a lib” and further isolate yourself. Whether it’s weak trolling, bad faith, or you’re totally delusional, you’re just a sad asshole.
Maybee?
You just a trendy wendy.
Why comment then?
Would be nice if Mamdani commented on this, but there's not much he can legally do as the mayor of NYC. (Not a fan of Mamdani btw, just remarking that elected officials have jurisdiction over specific territory.)
My hands are tied 🤗
I'm not arguing that his hands are tied. I said "there's not much he can legally do as the mayor of NYC". Obviously it would be pretty based if he did like a direct action or something outside the law or even illegal...but people like that do not self-select to become elected politicians. I.e., it's not a personal flaw with Mamdani specifically, it's that all politicians self-select to be complicit in the bourgeois regime, and that politicians should not be considered vehicles of liberation.
Again, I'm not defending Mamdani. I'm saying that he's a non-extraordinary example of a politician, who intrinsically, impersonally deserves our scorn 🏴🚩
