Just give The Dead Internet Theory a read.

Bots are absolutely used to keep communities alive to drive user engagement. Reddit for sure does it.

This always seemed to be the outcome, I’m just surprised it took this long for the court to speak up? Like hello, it’s been MONTHS of this nonsense.

Time to reign this rogue president in. Congress better do its job, and not let one man break the backbone of American democracy.

I purposefully moved to a state with no sales tax. It is far superior having all my taxes deducted from my paycheck, rather than playing the constant game of “how much does this purchase actually cost.”

I die every time I need to make a purchase out of state on a work trip/vacation.

Brief Devils advocate here: the tariffs were public knowledge since at least February. I also sold a bunch of stocks before the market tanked.

Trump is quoted saying “there is going to be some pain” in early February while discussing tariffs on Mexico and Canada. That’s enough insight to make me sell, and that was well before most of these insiders sold their position.

It’s very, very, very difficult to prove insider trading unfortunately. It does look bad from a trust standpoint however, and I agree with that sentiment. It looks especially bad when the president and CEOs laugh about how much money they’ve made while standing in the Oval Office.

Insider trading or not, the optics don’t look good.

I would be applauding more if I wasn’t so embarrassed to be American right now.

Yeah I don’t buy it. Republicans are trying to save face. They cheered him on the entire election.

Uh oh, looks like a dozen or so slaves are about to get some lashings for their grievous mistake.

Didn’t target boost prices leading to record profits during the pandemic? Seems like balance is returning to the world. Perfect time for some tiny violins

Her rally with Bernie was pretty electrifying. I can see how her polices might be polarizing to some, but damn she can get the working class support. Just gott keep the momentum up and get people to actually vote.

Looking at you, Adobe. Creative cloud has sucked so much from me, but I need it for work.
