Because the font was changed to help people with accessibility deficits read government documents, my guess is that they are trying to keep as many people from being able to read what it is they are putting out as much as possible. 1 Quote

Do they think it costs money to do so? actually it can because they throw away all the old stationery, reprint all the placards on the walls, all the printed and posted matter, etc. But the joke is that it's just as wasteful to switch back again once a change was complete..

I don't think it's that.... I think they're just being assholes in general. "They" did something different so we have to change it back because whatever reason they had for doing it was "woke". They would cut their own dicks off if it "owned the libs". That's how stupid and deranged these people are now. 2 3 Quote

That's how stupid and deranged these people are now. I mean, yeah, they are being assholes in general, but that doesn't mean that's the only reason they're doing it. They do have an interest in keeping as many people as possible from seeing what they are doing—witness their blocking of government reports on jobs and inflation—so I think my little hypothesis holds water. 1 Quote

Motown Bombers Posted Wednesday at 04:53 PM Posted Wednesday at 04:53 PM I’m confused. The Biden economy was bad because you could afford 37 dolls for your child but it’s better when you can only afford two? Quote

CMRivdogs Posted Wednesday at 05:38 PM Posted Wednesday at 05:38 PM From today's Jonathan Last newsletter. He has a strong point... Quote What if Trump is executing the Authoritarian Shift? Many authoritarian regimes begin as popular movements.¹ They win a couple elections, ride waves of discontent, and seize power through legitimate, or at least quasi-democratic, means. It’s only later that they become authoritarian. After gaining power the aspiring authoritarian assaults the democratic system itself, seeking to remove the need for popular support. The regime tames the legislature, sidelines or steamrolls the courts, co-opts the business class, exerts control over the media and universities, and begins nibbling away at electoral machinery. At some point the regime has consolidated so much power that its popularity no longer matters. The Authoritarian Shift is the process of trading popular legitimacy for structural control. Sometimes this process takes years, as it did for Viktor Orbán in Hungary. Sometimes it takes weeks, as it did for Adolf Hitler in Germany. Whatever the case, the end result is a regime hated by its subjects but wielding so much internal power that it cannot be displaced by ordinary democratic means. If you wish to see living examples of regimes that successfully executed the Authoritarian Shift, look to Orbán, Alexander Lukashenko, Vladimir Putin, and Nayib Bukele. https://www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-wager-and-authoritarian-shift?utm_campaign=email-post&r=45wcm&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email 2 Quote

chasfh Posted Wednesday at 07:07 PM Posted Wednesday at 07:07 PM Seriously, mother**** this ****ing guy. Trump wants the rest of us to ration our purchases to help him get a personal W in his so-called trade war. Meanwhile, he has never, ever denied himself anything he ever wanted, ever, and he is angling to become a trillionaire while stepping on our heads and backs. He wants this to be his world while we all support and praise him. Again: mother**** this ****ing guy. 1 Quote
