The fact that this person is still in US politics doesn't say much about him .... it says a lot about the American psyche ... how disconnected does a country have to be to think that this individual is fit to represent them?
Major corporations and global companies no longer really care about nation states or nationalities any more. All they care about is making money and they don't follow any ethics when it comes to that.
If you push them in one way or another ... they just shift responsibility, change a name, change a direction, change a shell company and move stuff around, tell everyone they've changed and continue with business as usual in whatever way they please.
They can circumvent any national law for and from one country to another ... they can do one thing in one country that can't be done in another and vice versa and if they get stuck, they just call up international law litigate and get business done anyway.
It's getting to the point where nations no longer matter much any more ... it's the corporations that have all the power and control.
The bible ... or the cartoon? either way, the answer is the same anyway ... they're both made up.
Reposting is like Einstein's ideas and perspectives of time .... it's all relative.
When you see a meme for the first time, it's not a repost, it's something entirely new to you ... but to someone who saw the content a long time ago, they may have seen it a hundred times.
As soon as you see it, others will come after you to see it for the first time ... to them it is new ... to you, you just saw it a second time, a third time, a hundred times, it is now a repost
Just like time in the universe ... time moves at a certain rate here but between you and me, we both see it at slightly very tiny differences we would never notice ... but jump to a different planet, nearer or further from a star, a neutron star or a black hole and time is a completely different thing for everyone
Reposting is the internet equivalent of relativity
Didn't the world fight a world war to stop this kind of government from taking full control over a people?
“Governments don't want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.”
― George Carlin
It would be more efficient if we shrunk the power of the wealthiest individuals and made everyone fall under a wealthy limit
Why should one person own and control so much wealth when they will never realistically be able to enjoy all of that wealth during their lifetime? Especially if that one person hoarding all that wealth they'll never use is producing, creating and maintaining so much pollution for one individual.
Don't exist until they're gone ... I'm a middle child in a family of eight ... mom kept an eye on the baby and the oldest ... as long as there was six in the middle, no one really cared who they were until that number of middle children decreased.
Also ... the most valuable content I find or want online for my own uses is all text based ... reading blogs, forums, news sites, articles, creative writing, wikipedia
I really don't care about design or flashy lights and pictures ... I just want to read the news
I often just toggle the read only view as soon as I find something I want to read and seldom care about what a site looks like ... on the other side of that ... if the site is so messed up or controlling that it refuses reader view .. I skip it and move on
Don't change the logo ... just keep it as is ... I identify the app more for the app than for the site it was associated with .. I associate Sync with Sync ... I don't associate it with reddit, lemmy, kbin or anything ... I just associate it with Sync which makes the most sense to me
That logo only means Sync to me ... and as an app I think it should remain that way
Does this mean that in ten years we're going to have a pandemic again?

Mass Starvation and mass migration due to the climate change
These are the two things that will severely affect every part of the globe in the next few decades. No one will care about why the animals are dying or getting smaller, or why storms are getting worse or why floods are happening .... millions of people will be moving into places where other people already live and people won't like that.
And we'll wonder why the world is degrading and why we are fighting one another.
