We're going to run the country into the ground because we have such a large group of people being totally fine with (or even encouraging) their lack of education and the ability to reason properly. They're just proud to be "against" something together, they don't even care what it is they're against.

There are already EV battery recycling plants springing up now that there are enough used EVs to warrant them, there wasn't much point building them when there weren't any battery packs to process.

A) it was a car accident where he hit a school bus B) no evidence of drugs, alchohol, or even speed C) He was legally in the country

Here's hoping Trump pulls a Biden tomorrow.

Almost none of it.

The amount of data flowing through undersea cables around the world is insane compared to the inter-satellite links available.

That being said, a lot of data that you use as a consumer on a daily basis doesn't pass through any undersea cable at all. It's more of a business problem than an individual problem.

Banking and financial institutions transferring money to or from overseas institutions to complete investments and loans ,Communications (Like e-mailing or calling a factory in China from the US, or contacting your Grandma in Thailand), International shipping, Flight tracking, etc.

It's a coup for the VP to take over for the President?

Would it be a coup if Biden died today and she became president? That's literally how it's supposed to happen according to the constitution.

Stupid fucking republicans.

Yes America will, he just hasn't been told how the US economy would collapse without Taiwanese semiconductors yet. Taiwan will not let China take the fabs intact, it's their insurance forcing the west to help them.

Any problems the CBC has will be dwarfed by the massive problems having a for profit media cause.

When money becomes the only goal, society will be harmed.

At a range, sure. At home, sure. On the street, sure.

On a movie set, with someone who's entire job it is to make sure this shit doesn't happen handing it to you? No

Did you read WHY it was dismissed?

It was due to the actions of the police and prosecutor withholding evidence improperly.

System working as intended in the US.

Tieing healthcare to work wasn't an accident.

Focused on trying to stop the next one in every way except restricting guns, or funding mental health care, or reducing hate, or... Well anything that takes more than thoughts and prayers.

What a country.

Buddy has clearly not been paying attention to the number of data leaks from literally every company that handles person info. From credit reporting to the government itself.
