When Obama elected to reinflate the housing bubble rather than provide affordable housing it set the stage for biden’s loss. But the modern housing bubble began with Clinton.
It continued through multiple neoliberal administrations because those people value markets over anything else.
They were tricked by a propaganda machine. They may have been willing participants but had they known everything they never would have voted against their own interests. Yet every country in the western hemisphere, South America, Africa, Asia, and well everywhere doesn’t have anti propaganda laws. If you’re rich you can buy influence in any neo liberal country. Why is that?
In the US it’s legal for corporations to create propaganda outlets which stream nonstop lies designed to get sensitive individuals to vote fascists. It’s impossible to have democratic elections and have completely disinformed and propagandized voters. Yet even after killing hundreds of thousands of conservative voters the courts have sided with the propaganda outlets.
I doubt anything interesting will turn up but let’s be fair: when the government does illegal stuff they destroy the documents. The stuff that we get usually gets misplaced and rediscovered.
Hilariously the FBI announced that they have 2400 pages of newly discovered material which by accident was not part of the disclosure process and was unknown to anyone in government.

Guaranteed to either not get released and not contain anything interesting.
Food conglomerates had tried to sell a more efficient vision of the kitchen to working mothers:
Less food prep time meant more time for family and career. But it also meant more sales of processed food and the extinction of the skills required to prepare food.
The children of the seventies and eighties were among the first to experience this change toward preprepared foods.
Republicans purged 3.5 million voters likely to vote Democrat from rolls in 2024.
Because there are propaganda networks out there and these have tried to convince their users and viewers that Elon is doing the right thing.
We can blame our judicial and legislative branches for allowing propaganda networks to be funded by oligarchs. These people too were being bankrolled by the ultra wealthy.

There are a number of open weight open source models out there with all their data sourced from the public domain. Look up BLOOM and Falcon. There are others.
That’s a common misconception. Eric didn’t have any cigarettes on his person. Meaning the fake crime he was executed for wasn’t just minor. It was non existent.
He had been cited in the past for selling loosies. But there’s no info on whether they used an undercover or ci to offer to buy a cigarette. Using honeypot traps on pedestrians should be illegal.
When he was younger maybe but as he got older reagen needed teleprompter for virtually everything. He had lost his ability to speak off the cuff as his alzheimers progressed
Many smokers don’t know that nicotine salt (or nicsalt) is horrendously addictive compared to freebase nicotine. And nicsalt is the primary form of nicotine in tobacco and some vapes. Cigarette companies sneakily add more to the rolling paper to make cigarettes more addictive.
It is orders of magnitude more difficult quitting nicsalt. It’s why many people who successfully quit recommend starting with stronger freebase nicotine vapes or lower nicsalt and then trying to scale back from there eventually moving to freebase.
Nicsalt is so addictive you can be going into withdrawal while vaping freebase nicotine.
Edit: gums use Nicotine polacrilex which was engineered to increase bioavailability over freebase. Most gums and patches are hard to quit because manufacturers offer no guidance on tapering dosage although you figured this out on your own. You’re smart.
The permissions on their extension allows for them to read site data so they definitely could operate as a data broker. However their tos has no mention of any data sharing so you are likely correct that they just take a commission. Great site imo

If you have multiple extensions installed honey always secretly steals the revenue from competitors without asking for consent. Most other extensions will ask if you want to activate cashback. Honey just disables their competitors and steals that affiliate revenue. It should be classified as malware
Topcashback consistently beats honey and others out (almost all competitors beat honey btw). And they pay out and have customer support. Easily thr best way to sell your personal data to a shadowy data broker

So far all anti propaganda laws were passed in totalitarian states to suppress dissidents. But I think a good start would be to look at pre-existing limitations on free speech. Can you shout “fire” in a crowded theater just for funsies? No? Then we’ve already got a public safety caveat in our right to free speech. So you can’t say something that will kill people IF IT IS A LIE. There are also time place and manner restrictions on free speech. So we agree there is a time and place where you can criticize the state. So we sort of believe that during public emergencies, such as during a pandemic, you cannot spread lies about the pandemic.
There are ways to prove lies.
