Let me check something real quick.......
Under a 1985 ordinance responding to a federal crackdown on Central American refugees, the City Council made Sacramento a “safe haven” that prohibits city employees, including police, from asking about immigration status or withholding benefits or services based on immigration status. Sacramento in the only major city within Sacramento County to consider itself a “sanctuary.”

They should have started doing these flights years ago. The border states need to put national guard on the border 24/7 and charge the Fed for it. It's the only way to make sure.

The endless bonanza of free money from speculation and tech bubble bullshit is drying up. So they are now desperate to try and keep a positive income.

There is a reason there are no real YouTube competitors, hosting and streaming video is hardware and bandwidth expensive and only Google was able to handle the massive costs of doing so at a loss for so many users at once. And even then they never turned a good profit, only barely cracking positive numbers on the good years.

It is all gonna collapse under their own weights.

Laziness truly is the greatest enemy since I should probably start downloading local copies of all my favorite shit from youtube for when the servers one morning just randomly get turned off.

I've been doing that for a while now. Sure beats the hell out of regular TV considering the majority of it is pozzed shit. Also not having commercials makes it better. especially on YouTube where the ads have been getting worse.

I'm happy to see the exchanges fall, and I'm extremely pro crypto. They were leading the charge for government to step in and take over, and they're the ones that forced anonymity out of crypto transactions with KYC requirements. Crypto was fine before the new "banks" stepped in and it will be fine when they're gone. It's one less entity to tell you how you're allowed to spend your money.

The SEC is very short sighted going after exchanges. Exchanges were their best way of tracking who is doing what. If it goes back to P2P trading, they don't have any way to reliably track everyone.

Judges being faggots and SCOTUS will ultimately bend the knee as a trade off for Roe V. Wade, there goes all those tough "woke goes to die" plans, Meatball. Cultural issues mean shit when the system is rigged against one side almost in perpetuity.

The PGA Tour and LIV Golf tour are going to merge, proving Trump right again, and showing the PGA Tour cared more about crushing a fair competitor than the morals of people taking Saudi Arabian money. A case in point example of loyalty meaning nothing to the big corporation, very apt metaphor, bigly!

cross posting it happened again for target but we are 6 days into pride
1686077527740.png

More than 200 LGBTQ groups angered by Target's decision to pull Pride merchandise from shelves are demanding the company "denounce extremists" and restock all the Pride merchandise in stores and online.

The Human Rights Campaign, along with GLAAD, GLSEN and other groups, released a statement asking Target and other businesses like Anheuser-Busch to "reject and speak out against anti-LGBTQ+ extremism going into Pride Month." More than 200 other progressive and LGBTQ organizations signed on to the statement, which argued that showing support for their community was good for business.

The organizations laid out a three-part demand that calls on Target to restock all the Pride merchandise both in stores and online, ensure the safety of Target employees and release a statement "reaffirming their commitment to the LGBTQ+ community" within 24 hours.


"When it comes to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion, there is no such thing as neutrality," the LGTBQ coalition said.




‘SATANIST’ DESIGNER SAYS TARGET SET ‘DANGEROUS PRECEDENT’ BY PULLING PRODUCTS

The coalition suggested they would continue to support Target and other businesses who rejected criticism from consumers.

"Target, and all businesses, can leverage the support of LGBTQ+ organizations to navigate this hate, so that together, we can let extremists know unequivocally that, just as with every other failed anti-LGBTQ+ campaign of the past, fear will not win," the statement reads.

Target displays LGBTQ-themed apparel annually leading into June. However, the retail giant came under increased scrutiny after consumers noticed stores selling "tuck-friendly" women's bathing suits for transgender people and Pride apparel for children and infants.

The company responded to widespread backlash over the Pride merchandise by moving some Pride products to less prominent sections of the store and removing other merchandise altogether. Target said it moved the products to ensure employees' safety.

The move angered progressives and LGBTQ groups who said Target had "caved to violent political extremists" and "betrayed" LGTBQ customers.

Several of the designers who partnered with the company spoke to the media about their disappointment in the company not standing by their products when faced with backlash.

"It's a very dangerous precedent to set, that if people just get riled up enough about the products that you're selling, you can completely distance yourself from the LGBT community, when and if it's convenient," Abprallen designer Erik Carnell told Reuters.

Another designer for the Pride collection said Target had removed most of their collection from stores "due to threats from domestic terrorists."

All the butthurt streamers threatening to move to YouTube are in for a rude awakening:

The platforms, who pay for nearly every expense that the "creators" have, unsurprisingly don't like being cut out of the money. What the streamers are doing is similar to asking your client to pay you directly instead of your company; you'd get fired from any service business if you pulled that crap.

YouTube and Twitch have real costs, streamers don't, so if I'm forced to pick a side I'm picking the video site over the lottery winner.

I think that the SEC is going after exchanges the same way that Liz Dong Gone and his ilk have attacked the Farms forcing us to go to Tor only (at least for now.) They know that they can't really kill the product, but they can make it so that the majority of people won't access it either due to laziness or technological incompetence; the average person who barely uses their devices for much more than ordering Uber Eats, Tik Tok and the occasional Venmo transaction probably would look at using a DEX or something like it's technology from an alien planet. If they can't just go and spot trade on Coinbase or Binance or another CEX they'll just take themselves out of the game. The government is all for digital currencies I think, but they're just malding that they don't have a monopoly on it.
