These stupid fucking people blasted the foundation of our economic empire to smithereens on a fucking gamble trump could stave off dedollarization and now we're going to have another fucking recession and the debt will finally be the fucking problem republicans want it to be.

It's really, really hard to just not be filled with blind rage for the idiots that asked for this.

I don't believe this is us government officials doing their duty to exercise checks and balances, this is a show.

I am not defeatest, I am of the opinion the entire US government is compromised and needs to be replaced and a new constitution written.

I expect literally nothing to come from this.

Gotta capitalize on the other oligarch's missteps of course.

F droid I don't think specifically had yet, they had just won a grant I believe but I don't think they got any of it yet.

I tried installing it on win 10 WSL

Lol what? I can't take this conversation seriously anymore lmao. It's like me saying windows sucks because I can't game under qemu. Microsoft says on their own site that WSL isn't for GUI apps and even a cursory Google search would have told you that.

There's barriers to mass adoption sure but the installation process of most distros since they all use the same GUI installer is...not it. Like I kinda just don't believe you tbh, your comment is entirely out of line with my experience even a decade ago. Maybe in 2006 when I first installed fedora core 4.

Like I can understand having issues using it day to day and I'm not going to tell anyone to swap operating systems, but if you can't get Ubuntu up and running idk how you install and go through the windows OOBE.

You're preaching to the choir man I've been beating this drum with increasing volume for years. We need 20 million+ of us on the national mall demanding a new constitution and government under threat of 1789 and I don't honestly know if that's possible.

Michelle Obama or any Dem won't be taking power in 2028, if the above doesn't happen 2028 isn't a real election and if it does the United States Government as it currently exists doesn't anymore so who even knows what the structure of our government will be.

Idk don't count on us getting our shit together, trump could literally genocide Hispanics on American soil and 1/3 of Americans would strongly approve specifically genociding Hispanics. Even if we recover from this, things will get worse for Americans as our empire crumbles, and in 40 years when I'm the boomer and my friends are all the boomers, we'll collectively beg for the good old days we grew up in when the American Empire was still strong, and we'll collectively vote for the new nationalists of the day to make America great again again.

I should mention that while I'm a fan of democracy and would never want to live under another system of government I do not and have never believed democracy to be long term sustainable. Maybe I would if I lived in a real one idk but y'all still got far right problems over there in most of the former empires so idk.

For the record, I'm american. Entire current situation aside, I would prefer my chosen operating system have more support and if I can at least get that out of the destruction of the only country I've ever lived in I mean that's something I guess.

But yeah you probably shouldn't be financing the Nazis of the 2020s that is true, and taxing people who do would probably cut down on that.

That windows tax sounds like a way to bring about the year of the Linux desktop and I like that idea.
