  • Given the unprecedented abuse of power and overwhelming evidence of corruption, the fact he still has that much approval only serves to show how deeply flawed is the distribution of power in the US.

    Big corpo lobbying paved the way for this brand of extremist cronyism that provides for the biggest players willing to grease the president directly, even circumventing the legislative bodies.

Mozilla does not have a good managing team and they deserve to go down but there should be a transition period.

If people just did it for fun maybe I would think it’s okay but they actually pay scammers and make assumptions about people just from their sign, which is actual stereotyping in contrast to what is shown in the comic
