When will our government GOVERN??

All they do is look for ways to support the fascist whims of the toddler-president. He gets one idea in his head after another about little pet projects that he thinks will build his power base or his reputation, and that's what our government talks about.

How about helping the citizens of the country to improve their lives and their living conditions? Do lawmakers MAKE LAWS anymore? How about taking action to improve infrastructure or finally bring prices down? How about protecting the poor and disadvantaged in our society?

They don't care about the American people. They just want to please their cult leader and try to make the country look like them.

If most other countries cooperate in te face of tis new American #imperialism (as they should) te long-term prospects for #USA cld be even worse.

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech shows what real pragmatism actually looks like:

“Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

Martin Sheen spent a lot of time in the Oval Office on his television drama #TheWestWing.
Here is what he said about Trump's Oval Office:
"There’s no heroes in there, there’s no music, there’s no laughter, there’s no self-effacement, there’s no joy in that room. It smells of ego and fear and false worship”:

A think tank with ties to right-wing billionaires Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Charles Koch, the Foundation for American Innovation (FAI), is pushing a radical plan to replace large swaths of the federal government with artificial intelligence. The Trump administration installed staffers from FAI in key positions and has begun implementing the think tank's agenda.
FAI is closely aligned with Silicon Valley's libertarian scene, and has urged the government to "streamline the bureaucracy" by replacing what would amount to hundreds of thousands of federal workers with AI. The White House has already turned FAI white papers on AI into official policy. But FAI wants things to move even faster and is advising the Trump administration to reduce its scrutiny of the potential risks of AI. —Oligarch Watch Newsletter (formerly Musk Watch) #AI #Government #governing #ArtificialIntelligence #democracy #technocracy #USPol #USPolitics

@Radical_EgoCom So, I've finally found someone who explained #communism and it is apparently better than #socialism , which apparently concentrates power in the hand of the gov, whereas communism doesn't have a #capitalist class or a #governing class. Is that how you all use those words, today?

"if #Reform is claiming, as it is, to be a party capable of #governing this country, then the #media must subject it to the same kind of scrutiny applied to #Labour or the #Conservatives."

The 'commons' are any shared public resource. Ostrom's book says we can share them to everyone's benefit. Can we apply this to software development?

"It is absolutely right to emphasize the importance of respecting #voters, and try to understand them, rather than assuming that those who disagree with you are stupid or racist. But voters are not going to tell you how to #govern the country. It is not their job. Relying on their opinions to try to deduce what to do leads not only to incoherence, but to a negative loop."
