Icelandic Display Shows Last McDonald's Cheeseburger Sold There?
The financial crisis of 2009 reportedly made the franchise too expensive to operate.
It is a delight to see people registering to our Friendica almost daily.
And yes these are not bots. Since we "force" anyone who register to tell us why they want to be part of our network (to filter out the bots), I can tell that those who register are not garbage pieces of "AI", but real and interesting humans who are also interested in our TROM project.
Just wonderful! :)
Our platform is a home for anyone who wants to join, granted they don't use it to abuse others or only use it as an ad platform to promote whatever they sell. So basic decency ;).

They are not clearing the way for a meritocracy
If you really wanted to hire based on merit only, you would not need to repeal a rule that says you cannot discriminate based on sex, religion, or race, now would you?
Youth crime
Local reps worried about youth that will do a smash and grab and when released say they will just do it again. Naturally their thoughts of how to address that have to do with increasing penalties, eroding due process, increasing penalties, etc.
But they need to think for a minute about the message they sent to the youth in the 2024 election. It wrote to them and the world in big orange neon letters that the law does not apply to everyone in this country. And when the law does not apply to everyone it stops being justice and becomes oppression.
When we handed felon sex offender Trump the oval office we made crime an act against oppression.
You cannot expect people to abide by rules that do not apply to everyone. Can you blame them for thinking "If we are not all in this together then it is everyone for themselves. "?
You can't parade blatant hypocrisy in front of people, piss all over their rights, their viewpoints and their futures and not expect them to act out!
You can't exclude people from the game and expect them to keep playing by the rules!
Had to walk out of Republican town hall.
State and city Republican reps had a town hall here. In typical fashion they left only 20min out 90 for questions. All was reasonable until one started blathering about how to improve law enforcement. I left saying "I will not sit here and listen to a Republican talk about law and order. You all voted it out!"
