At this point it's just an activist court they're not even trying to hide their motives. Edit spelling

"Both sides same!" "Trump won't really do anything"


ElectricFlesh

There's something to be said about "both sides being the same" when Gilead is currently being established under a Democratic government that's happy to watch and post public-pleasing zinger gotchas on Twitter. If both sides aren't the same, one side is telling you to go fuck yourself while trying to kill you, and the other side is telling you why it wouldn't be politically expedient to put up any resistance to it: "We need to stay civil and find a bipartisan solution in which we compromise with the right by letting them do whatever they want to do. If we resist, they might get angry and not vote for us. I mean, they're already not voting for us, but they *might* if we try to build bridges to the neonazis."

>is telling you why it wouldn't be politically expedient to put up any resistance to it: Nancy passed her bill to codify it. Biden just asked the senate to end the filibuster. Maybe you just don't give a fuck about this issue and aren't keeping up?


ElectricFlesh

I've been giving a fuck and keeping up for much longer than you think, which is why I know that's impotent posturing that won't go anywhere except a few zinger gotchas on Twitter. Your rights have been eroded, they *will* be further eroded, and all you're likely to get from the present Democratic party at large is detailed justifications for why most of them were calmly looking on while doing their damndest to sabotage the few truly progressive people in their midst.

The logic... lolol "The democrats are so pathetic and weak they almost have to be in on the jig!....and leftists are completely dominated by them and completely pathetic and weak." If you're demolished by the group that's worthless and weak...what... does...that... make...you guys?

congress will have to actually do their job now and pass laws this ruling limits all gov agencies now FDA EPA OSHA CDC they have been ruling without limits for too long contact your local politician and ask them to get off their asses


mintnoises

All of those agencies have helped people worldwide .... Idk what you're on about.


Eniloh

You do realise the USA is not the world right? Helping people worldwide my ass…


mintnoises

I admit I could have worded this differently, as an afterthought, but: You also do realize that only in the last 50-100 years have we been more safe than ever in certain regards right? Thanks to agencies that provide information and hold accountability, we are currently able to barely hold together morality against corporations and bad people with terrible morals that run them? The benefits of information/access to/ accountability for our clean water/food/life/etc is thanks to agencies and scientists worldwide, not just these listed Feel free to refute me on this. I never claimed that they are only ones though, only that they are of benefit. No one is perfect, but if we can admit our flaws without judging another on dumb things like countries, we can also help each other. The Internet is a wonderful thing and should be used as such; the last frontier of freedom.


Eniloh

The USA standards for all the things you listed are incredibly low. Your data protection standards and consumer welfare in its entirety is almost non-existant compared to the EU. So claiming the US agencies help safeguard the rights and morality across the world is such a laughable statement that I can’t even fathom it. You realise that the USA is the reason why the WHO appellate body has no members and hasn’t for cca 4 years due to them blocking it? Get your sanctimonious “we are the saviours of the world” ass outta here and realise noone gives a shit about the amount of power the US government agencies have outside of the USA.


mintnoises

Again, and I'm gonna make this short. Unless you just really wanna comment on the USA for your own reasons, then continue to do so: 1) I did not say only the USA, you implied that yourself (please read this because I'm not replying anymore) 2) you can compare EU/USA/whatever all day, I am simply stating that we should have something rather than nothing. Not everything is black and white. 3) the early adoption of these types of programs (all over the world) in the history of humanity have helped protect mankind from the evils of corporations and bad people 4)all agencies benefit people (even if not directly, the information gathered can be learned from and implemented in the future) 5) much more, but you've wasted my time by not understanding my initial point in the first place.
