Is there someone you forgot to ask?
What little I know about about today’s Iraq comes from Hakim’s personal stories on The Deprogram podcast.
I think the US military can’t get out soon enough. I hope Iraq joins BRICS, dedollarizes, and has continued success with BRI. The neocolonial * imperial core* is no one’s ally, and is in decline.
This is what we get from unions purged of socialists: workers lacking class consciousness.
Finally a major union shows some backbone to the party that’s taken them for granted for a generation.
“Neither major candidate was able to make serious commitments to our union to ensure the interests of working people are always put before Big Business,” Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien said in a statement.
He added, “We sought commitments from both [former president Donald] Trump and [Vice President Kamala] Harris not to interfere in critical union campaigns or core Teamsters industries—and to honor our members’ right to strike—but were unable to secure those pledges.”
The union, which at 1.3 million members is one of the largest in the world, collected input on an endorsement from its members through straw polling and a QR poll from a code printed on a union magazine, a vice president at large of the union, John Palmer, said.
The Teamsters have for decades endorsed Democratic presidential candidates. The union supported Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020. They also backed Barack Obama in both of his presidential runs, John Kerry in 2004 and Al Gore in 2000.
We have a fair amount to show for it (like over 750 overseas military bases), it’s just that very little of it is for the working class.
Because bad pun memes are the bee’s knees.
If the US security state wants it so bad why doesn’t it eminent domain it 😶 The stock is at bargain basement prices right now; a third of what it once was.
Damn, out of 4,000 years of literature.
Last I heard LNG was cleaner than coal… because that’s what the industry wanted me to believe.
Reuters, 2020: Cleaner but not clean - Why scientists say natural gas won’t avert climate disaster
In January 2020, the American Petroleum Institute (API), a powerful lobbying group for the oil and gas industry, launched its “Energy for Progress” advertising campaign.
These aren’t American citizens… mostly.
MMT isn’t a tool for modeling all of inflation’s factors. It’s simply a description of how sovereign fiat money works. Some people mistakenly (or knowingly, for disparagement or promotion) attribute things to MMT that it just isn’t.
This graph gives the false impression that federal taxes actually pay for anything.

I don’t think Metafilter is structured as a coop (nor is it federated), but you do have to pay to join, and the workers do get paid. It is being converted into a nonprofit. It is long-established and changes very little, so their software development costs must be very small.
lemmy.sdf.org is run by SDF Public Access Unix System, which might be somewhat similar, but I don’t know the details of their structure.
It appears that the dead website that @rotmulaaginskyrim@programming.dev mentioned was not much more sophisticated than what @sub_ubi@lemmy.ml suggested, “federated reviews”.

Nothing is stopping you from creating a Lemmy community for general product/service reviews, but I doubt it would work very well nor be very popular. But ActivityPub-based federated reviews sounds like an intriguing idea. I don’t know if/how ActivityPub can handle structured fields (https://web.archive.org/web/20220608160103/https://www.exitreviews.com/submission), and you’d probably want a search system that leverages those fields.
Other than your own blog? AFAIK not really. For most services, Yelp? For most products, Amazon?
When they go low right, we go high also right.
Yesterday at !opensource@lemmy.ml:
Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months
