  16. Re:Does Raise a Question... on US House Panel Approves Broad Proposal On Self-Driving Cars (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Historically corporations have waged a war on the people, shifting the blame to them. For example recycling was a manoeuver from the bottling industry to keep using plastic instead of glass, jay walking (pedestrian crossing the middle of the street) was a campaign to shift the blame from car accident killing pedestrian to the pedestrian crossing roads which at the time were not designed as car only zones but shared zones. So unless people rise up and write their representatives (who work for them) to enforce their right, the victim or the owner will be held responsible.

  17. "we kept at it and they came around" on Silicon Valley's Latest Desperate Housing Idea: On A Landfill (siliconvalley.com) · · Score: 1

    This sums up how this happened. The industrialist who came up with the idea kept approaching the regulators until they gave in. Now let's talk about how this very likely happened. Background: back when I lived in san francisco (lower case on purpose) I had friends who founded a company that made software to help government efficiently. Needless to say they had a very comprehensive knowledge on how things ran in there and despite my natural cynicism I was shocked, government run far less efficiently than I thought and it was maintained that way by everyone working there. They also mentioned how bringing up money always sped things along - a lot. So to sum up if you bring to the table solutions to make things more efficient faster and easier for them you get resistance, when you bring up money you can bring to them all gets lubed up real nice and they become your friend. So back in our current case of building a city on a landfill, which is a well known health hazard. “The regulators were pretty skeptical at the start, I have to say,” said Stephen Eimer, an executive vice president with Related and co-managing partner of the 9.2 million-square-foot project, known as City Place. “But we kept at it, working and working, and they came around.” can be safely translated in "regulators said no until we gave them money". This is called a banana republic and until we wake the f*ck up it'll keep going.

    Was holding the California state in ramson, shutting down their power grid to strong arm their governor into some bad deal.

    1- that the EU is calling attention to itself so much, people may realize that they never elected these politicians in the first place. 2- that it's bringing attention to companies harvesting us for Data. So bring on the outrage and focus it to one thing: taking back your power. We don't need apps, we don't need corporations we don't need politicians or anyone else to format who we are.
