Who isn’t fucking dreading, or exhausted, or depressed thinking that fat orange fuck stands a good chance of winning his way out of consequences, again, and plunging us into an Orbanist Republic of sorts and all many who are supposedly an ally think that voting for Joe is an affirmative vote for genocide

A fire sale that benefits the incumbents! but really bytedance will sell and unless they just want to burn the whole platform down (doubtful) then users probably won’t notice any difference. I’m fine with not allowing Chinese owned companies to operate relatively freely here, but there are other ways this could work without a forced sale. I may have mentioned this here before but my old company was being purchased by a Chinese firm, the CFIUS forced some changes to protect data from leaving the country through an off site third party monitor who reported independently to CFIUS. And we had to protect customer PII/CSI and HIPAA controlled health records for government employees and individuals through that third party who technically owned that data. and any requests for any communication or data to be sent to the parent company would be subject to monitoring by the third party.

Overcoming these barriers is extremely difficult, you can’t just hand waive them away. and then comes the bolded word, which is an ideal, but not how things work in reality (like libertarianism) so one must overcome the structural barriers (which filters out similarly able people based on these structural factors) only then do you get to the meritocratic part, where hard work, education, etc, and a great deal of luck should win out. But then we have some guy hiring his kids, or someone with connections for a position even if they aren’t the most qualified. It’s not that meritocracy is bad per se but it is used to gloss over and ignore the very real issues in society.

Hi, it’s me, the structural inequality baked into our political economy. You may remember me from classic hits such as “redlining”, “segregation”, and “generational poverty”. Now, my roles may seem antiquated, but nothing has been done to alleviate these issues since they’ve been legally abolished, so I’m still surviving on my residuals.
