Idk about data caps, but I used to get 3MB/s and I had to be happy for it. Things are better.

I think because of recent programs new ISPs have popped up all over the USA. The IIJA invested in infrastructure and startups to increase number of servicers to areas with few to no providers.

So I guess it depends on which representatives we send to Congress and the White House.

Question: what if the goofiest most fucked up concepts accidentally align with the dark reality we live in?

We're at 5 and counting potential Donald Trump assassins thwarted so far. Thats at least 500% over estimate, yikes.

Elon Musk probably isn't that much easier of a target, I'm sure he pays good money to be guarded, but maybe.

Democrats didn't campaign on their economic plans. They dove deep into MURICAN PRIDE, fighting against dictators and drug cartels, and continuing the work of the Biden Administration. They played advertisements like THIS on TV in September. They campaigned in states that they lost in by trying to appeal to Republicans.

Less democrats total voted this year than 2020.

But yes, you're right to think that Republicans are worse for the economy in every way.

"All Lives Matter" and "Blue Lives Matter" both advocated against new police accountability practices.

This is why I think Black Lives Matter should have just called itself the Police Accountability Movement, take the wind out of the racist sails, but everybody kept downvoting that suggestion.

I feel like test is the wrong word.

Yeah, realistically he'll just do what Obama did and act like a good teacher giving Trump the details needed to do whatever needs to be done in emergencies. Trump, of course, will soak it all up like a metal bar: not at all.

My people are them. We're our own enemy. Idk how you could possibly fail to see how life is in the USA, to instead think it is like isolated minority sects or a bunch of fantasy guilds or some wack shit like that.

You cannot tell the ones deserving to die from the ignorant buffoons, or even allies. There is no effective training to fight "the other ones". There is no preemptive strike in good conscience. There is no guarantee of any violence on American shores unless we create it ourselves. More and more and more people will go hungry and cold in the streets for decades and it might still never devolve to the point of "death squads".

So speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.

Canadian Immigration is pretty full up at the moment, might take a while to process unless the person heads there and claims asylum once in.

But in order to ammend the rules they first have to agree on it. Any speaker who opposes it can just be deposed because of the rule.

I know I'm being overoptimistic but I have high hopes for it.
