I don’t see how releasing frozen assets counts as any sort of reparations or rebuilding.
If those claims are true, that will 100% be tax payer money.
The administration and most of the media they have bought or bullied into submission will be doing everything in their power to keep the public confused about what money is is what, so they can keep saying ‘this is not your money’ and be misleading but technically correct about certain portions of it.
Was it capitulation? Seems like they intentionally bought out the organization, and replaced the leadership to align with MAGA interests. The bloodbath was the consequences of not capitulating to the changes coming from that new leadership.
Its just one more piece of the owner class buying up and snuffing out free press.
‘You know our Department of Defence? Yeah, its the Department of War now.’
‘What are we doing in Iran? We promise; It’s not a war, it’s self-defence.’

How many times do I have to read ‘notnottheonion’ to see the double negative.
It’s more descriptive than “Woman died after living made her delusional”.
It’s less descriptive than “Woman died after a vitamin B12 deficiency made her delusional”
I’m pretty sure it’s intentionally vague and misleading to trigger engagement around a divisive topic.
I wonder if there is a term for that.
People were struggling while Biden was in office, sure. But Americans need to learn to wake up, examine the rest of the world, and realize that post COVID economies were struggling everywhere, and Biden had actually done a pretty good job mitigating the damage.
Just because it wasn't great, doesn't mean he didn't do a decent job at making it much less worse that it might have been under the policies, and damage set up by Trumps first term.
Things like tax breaks, legislated to make things harder for the working class after Dems retook office, not because of what the Dems did, but close enough for them to blame the Dems.
And it worked. It always works.
They should at least replace the fields producing corn ethanol. Saves the recurring cost of producing the energy, and reduces the emissions of both harvesting and burning.
Huge swathes of land are used just to burn the output.
It makes sense. Protocols are defined before services can be implemented on them.
What the article is say is, rather than trusting a service provider to protect your privacy, stick to using services you control, on open protocols that can communicate with external service providers.
If everyone does this, the government needs to knock on a lot more doors to force compliance. And if a node on the protocol chooses to shut down instead of complying, the service as a whole isn’t disrupted. Just the users on that node. And they can control migration to a different node.
Something something felon...
Speaking of atrophying skills…. Couldn’t make it past one paragraph to reach the critical part of the article.
I think the journalists themselves are stuck in the same place a lot of us. Working for someone they can’t support morally, because they owe money and need a paycheque, and every place they could move to will likely have the same problem.
The issue is with the owners.
I think the education is a symptom of a deeper problem still, and that is corporate entities owning significant parts of the governing process, through lobbying, campaign financing and a rotating door of government positions and coproate advisers.
They want an uneducated population, because that is how they get a greater and greater share of the say in what the government does each election cycle. Getting Citizens United through was one of the worst they accomplished in recent years, but it won’t end there.
