●● IRC: #techrights @ Techrights IRC Network: Friday, January 31, 2025 ●● ● Jan 31 [00:00] IsambardPrince ---\ [00:00] IsambardPrince There's a tech angle here. [00:00] IsambardPrince Prosecutors are using Google account histories and cell phone location data to prove women traveled for abortion care. [00:01] IsambardPrince Illinois passed a law that bans them from cooperating, but now that the tech companies are little more than an extension of the Trump administration, who knows what they'll do. [00:02] IsambardPrince Women could use Tor browser to look up abortion care information and make an appointment, print a map on paper, and then travel without their cell phone or better, without the phone and using public transit like the South Shore Line to get into Illinois. It would make everything so much harder to prove. [00:03] IsambardPrince But they'd have to know to do all of that. They'd have to know how the State investigates these cases. And most women who need an abortion are young and scared and not at all tech savvy. [00:04] IsambardPrince And they'd still have to be careful to avoid "fake abortion clinics" operated by fundamentalist Christians. Illinois has those too and they are not illegal. [00:04] IsambardPrince We've been trying to deal with them using our consumer fraud laws and stuff. [00:06] IsambardPrince --- [00:06] IsambardPrince MinceR, Indiana doesn't seem to care that infant mortality has doubled since they took over the State, and gets worse every year. [00:06] IsambardPrince Perhaps death of infants due to a shitty third world medical system is "God's will" or something? [00:08] MinceR well, they were already born, therefore they have no rights or value to the christian fundamentalists who regularly pose as The Most Virtuous People Ever [00:14] IsambardPrince MinceR, I wouldn't actually call most of the people in Indiana that say they're a doctor "a doctor". [00:14] IsambardPrince They mostly get the worst. [00:14] IsambardPrince Just utterly too incompetent to get a job anywhere else in the country. [00:15] IsambardPrince So even if you get in with an OB/GYN doctor it would be like that creepy Indian dude that practices in my mom's town where his patients get on Google and leave reviews saying he was fondling them and staring creepily. [00:16] IsambardPrince It would be like Borat where he says "And there's the town mechanic, and abortionist." except abortion is illegal there now. [00:17] IsambardPrince MinceR, The Indiana government did a thing the other day I'm not even sure is possible. First they banned abortion even if it was rape or incest or the mother will die. [00:17] IsambardPrince Just totally banned. [00:18] IsambardPrince Then Governor Braun signed an executive order that says anytime a woman gets an abortion in the State of Indiana, the public health department will put all her private information on a public website and say she got an abortion. [00:18] IsambardPrince So how does this happen? [00:18] MinceR well, i suppose there's a way infants could have right/value from a christian fundamentalist perspective: if they were obscenely rich. [00:19] IsambardPrince Even if it wasn't banned, the only reason they'd put her info on a public website, which is illegal under HIPAA, is so that some anti-abortion criminal will go murder her. [00:20] IsambardPrince The idea is if you go have an abortion, they'll publish your name and address so all the crazies know who to come for, but they also say abortion is banned. [00:21] IsambardPrince Technically, the Terminated Pregnancy List also applies to women who miscarry. [00:21] IsambardPrince So they might be trying to cause violence against women who miscarry in Indiana. [00:22] IsambardPrince MinceR, Another person who Trump pardoned for January 6th was a man from Illinois who raped a seven year old girl. Illinois just sent him to state prison for 19 years. [00:23] IsambardPrince Mom and Dad voted to let these people out of prison and dump them all back out on top of us. [00:23] IsambardPrince More than half the people are wanted for nearly every type of crime we have from molesting kids, to terrorism, even beyond J6. [00:24] IsambardPrince Letting them go didn't free them. About 60% are just going to a different prison on other felonies. [00:24] IsambardPrince And 40% will probably be an extreme danger to the public for as long as they're out there.

[00:33] IsambardPrince [00:33] IsambardPrince They're getting out of these markets, and I think with the tariffs going into effect tomorrow they're going to get burned no matter what, but home sales are already in the toilet.

Their only playbook is that when the stock goes down, they fire people to appease investors. In Idiocracy, the Brawndo corporation responded to a total stock drop by firing everyone including the CEO. It was funny because it's so formulaic you could just have a computer in there running everything and calculating who to fire. [09:23] IsambardPrince You have to seriously wonder if they keep more employees than they need until....product divisions actually start dying. [09:23] IsambardPrince Like the Google announcement for its platforms and devices division. [09:24] IsambardPrince I remember when a new plant manager got flown in from India to shut down RCA in Marion, Indiana when my Dad worked there. [09:25] IsambardPrince Every round of layoffs got closer to his department until they got him too because they wouldn't need any more designs. [09:25] IsambardPrince Then they started taking him back on contract work several months later after his unemployment ran out, and eventually he worked for them again on contract in Mexico helping set up a plant there, which didn't last.

[09:26] IsambardPrince Sometimes companies are just operated this poorly. [09:27] IsambardPrince You get leaders that are remarkably tunnel visioned. [09:27] IsambardPrince Microsoft did the same thing to Windows for sure as what RCA did with picture tubes. [09:28] IsambardPrince Try to get the costs down instead of realizing that the product itself would be dying and then dead soon. [09:28] IsambardPrince It wasn't like, overnight nobody made a TV with a tube, it's that they were just a lower share of the new TV market each year until they were gone.

[09:32] *x-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!) [09:32] IsambardPrince I remember that the plant manager at RCA was always breathing down people's necks. [09:33] IsambardPrince My dad said the guy was so toxic he made one woman break down crying and he shouted at another man until the guy had a heart attack and they had to take him in an ambulance to the hospital. [09:34] IsambardPrince They elevated that plant manager to sainthood in his obituary though. They said that he was charitable and even donated "a brand new mansion in India" to a women's college. [09:35] IsambardPrince But I remember in 1998 when that guy became the plant manager because dad came home every day furious about something that the guy did at work. Never understood how much stress my parents went through until I got older and got a job and ran into people like that. [09:37] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], My thinking is that almost every workplace is toxic to some degree. [09:37] IsambardPrince And it's deliberate. [09:37] IsambardPrince They can dial it up or down depending on how many people they want to quit, or target it at people they'd really rather be rid of. [09:38] IsambardPrince It's not a mistake. [09:38] IsambardPrince My dad loved his career at RCA until that guy showed up near the end. [09:38] IsambardPrince My guess is that he was trying to drive people out by turning it into a madhouse to limit how many people they'd have to lay off and owe something to.
