| DaemonFC[m] | California's new law banning gasoline cars is a real joke. | Sep 30 00:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | 15 years from now. So like, you just buy them as a used car. People will do that. | Sep 30 00:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Doesn't solve a problem. | Sep 30 00:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think it's a fake out. | Sep 30 00:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You know, Trump's going after their fuel economy law, so they are signing "voluntary agreements" with the manufacturers that implement them anyway. | Sep 30 00:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This way if you don't all sign the agreement you're going to have your product banned. | Sep 30 00:07 |

| DaemonFC[m] | They can't approach it that way because courts would strike it down. | Sep 30 00:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But they can change their minds once the manufacturers have all agreed to the California standards. | Sep 30 00:09 |
| schestowitz | 15 is a long time | Sep 30 00:09 |
| schestowitz | a lot can change in this period of time | Sep 30 00:09 |
| schestowitz | wars, population crises, alternatives, either to tech or to the econpmy | Sep 30 00:10 |
| schestowitz | funny when politicians set targets for 2050 | Sep 30 00:10 |
| schestowitz | few of them will live until then | Sep 30 00:10 |
| schestowitz | unless they're young politicians in their 40s | Sep 30 00:10 |
| schestowitz | but they'll have retired by then | Sep 30 00:11 |
| MinceR | that's why they set targets for 2050 | Sep 30 00:11 |
| schestowitz | yup | Sep 30 00:11 |

| DaemonFC[m] | <schestowitz "but they'll have retired by then"> Mike Madigan. | Sep 30 00:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He's been House Speaker in Illinois since 1980 except between 1995-1997 when the Republicans took the majority. | Sep 30 00:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | We just finished repealing some of the laws that they passed then, like the trigger law that would have made abortion illegal in Illinois if Roe v. Wade was reversed. | Sep 30 00:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: E-Verify is optional in Illinois but 85% of employers use it. | Sep 30 00:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The state tried to ban it, but a federal court struck that down. | Sep 30 00:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think another approach shouldbe tried. | Sep 30 00:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You want to use E-Verify? You can, but your taxes go up 33%. | Sep 30 00:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Businesses do whatever's cheaper. | Sep 30 00:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Paying fines if the feds catch them employing undocumented immigrants would be cheaper than paying 1/3rd more corporate tax to the state. | Sep 30 00:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If the courts review it again, it will be about state taxation authority, not banning E-Verify. | Sep 30 00:19 |

| oiaohm | kingoffrance: Really https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatocracy is really a subform of Plutocracy. The reality is we don't really see full blown real world corporatocracy yet we hear the word thrown around alot. Closest example to full blow corporatocracy is really the insane world of ferengi in start treck done badly and the profit race in Time Jam: Valerian & Laureline done quite well to show the problems. | Sep 30 14:06 |

| oiaohm | kingoffrance: there is a true kind of modern example I missed for a Plutocracy that is really close to a Corporatocracy. Its the City of London voting rights of each company on what City of London will do is based on number of employees the company has in the city of london. | Sep 30 14:10 |

| kingoffrance | else the 401ks tank | Sep 30 14:13 |
| kingoffrance | due to repeal of glass-steagall | Sep 30 14:13 |
| kingoffrance | so i would argue that is a distinction without a difference, plutocracy vs. corporatocracy, since that is how they define "the economy": are the stocks looking good? | Sep 30 14:14 |
| schestowitz | covid will kill them before they reach that | Sep 30 14:14 |

| schestowitz | being 'conservative' does not necessarily imply that | Sep 30 14:16 |
| schestowitz | it's not so much a 'wing' thing | Sep 30 14:16 |
| schestowitz | Scalia was no massive fans of bad patents | Sep 30 14:16 |
| schestowitz | he died, he was considered 'conservative' | Sep 30 14:16 |
| MinceR | and so he died | Sep 30 14:16 |
| schestowitz | *fan | Sep 30 14:16 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: not a moment too soon | Sep 30 14:16 |

| schestowitz | died in his sleep iirc | Sep 30 14:17 |
| schestowitz | toad | Sep 30 14:17 |
| MinceR | so many great arguments for abolishing the state | Sep 30 14:17 |
| schestowitz | libertarians want that | Sep 30 14:19 |
| schestowitz | some sects of those nuts anyway | Sep 30 14:19 |
| schestowitz | not clear what they means | Sep 30 14:19 |
| schestowitz | they float some concepts | Sep 30 14:19 |
| schestowitz | indigenous people have no states in a real sense | Sep 30 14:19 |
| schestowitz | and I don't envy their lifestyles | Sep 30 14:20 |
| oiaohm | kingoffrance: Really there is a worse from of too big to fail in City of London history. There is a horrible cases of hey we will just kill the slaves and claim the insurance because we are too big to fail. | Sep 30 14:20 |
| schestowitz | they die young while suffering, from things we can nowadays cure easily | Sep 30 14:20 |
| MinceR | that's not a function of the state | Sep 30 14:21 |
| schestowitz | cowboys don't work well | Sep 30 14:22 |
| oiaohm | kingoffrance: really a fully focused Corporatocracy style in history would not care if they destroyed you 401ks as if you had no super you would have to work for the Companies for longer. | Sep 30 14:22 |
| schestowitz | hospitals are large structures | Sep 30 14:22 |
| schestowitz | and institutions with referrals to experts | Sep 30 14:22 |
| schestowitz | so like I said, if you abolish the state, then you need to define the state and the process for removing it | Sep 30 14:22 |
| schestowitz | towns and civilisations typically had something akin to state with chiefs and occupations, exchanges | Sep 30 14:22 |
| MinceR | hospitals can operate as private organizations, for-profit or charity or even both | Sep 30 14:23 |
| schestowitz | nomads with rifles also need to buy their ammo somewhere | Sep 30 14:23 |
| schestowitz | they don't make their own gunpowders and bullet shells | Sep 30 14:23 |
| schestowitz | (many libertarians envision them like this) | Sep 30 14:23 |
| MinceR | there's nothing in them that needs you to accept a bunch of sociopaths as having the right to tell you what to believe and how to live your life | Sep 30 14:23 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: history says not a good idea hospitals operating too far private. Heck even charity based hospitals here were know for doing bad things like forced abortions | Sep 30 14:24 |
| schestowitz | Ted unabomber had a shit life | Sep 30 14:24 |
| MinceR | plenty of ammo are already made by private enterprises, no need for the state to do that | Sep 30 14:24 |
| schestowitz | and i suppose the "state" did not interfere much | Sep 30 14:24 |
| schestowitz | statelessness is no pipe dream | Sep 30 14:24 |
| MinceR | oiaohm: so bad things can happen without the state, so let's just double down on the bad things? | Sep 30 14:24 |
| schestowitz | if you kill someone or someone is killed, who holds them accountable? | Sep 30 14:24 |
| schestowitz | you shoot them back | Sep 30 14:24 |
| schestowitz | capture and torture? | Sep 30 14:24 |
| schestowitz | or what | Sep 30 14:25 |
| schestowitz | ? | Sep 30 14:25 |
| MinceR | other people will hold you accountable | Sep 30 14:25 |
| MinceR | as long as they don't want themselves to be killed randomly | Sep 30 14:25 |
| schestowitz | that's vigilante | Sep 30 14:25 |
| MinceR | so? | Sep 30 14:25 |
| schestowitz | a bit like gangs | Sep 30 14:25 |
| MinceR | still not as bad as giving a bunch of people the exclusive right to use violence against you | Sep 30 14:25 |
| MinceR | which then they abuse to protect the interests of the rich and powerful | Sep 30 14:26 |
| oiaohm | Really different areas of medical https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmaceutical_Benefits_Scheme Like Australia PBS show the state can apply critical force. | Sep 30 14:27 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme - Wikipedia | Sep 30 14:27 | |
| oiaohm | MinceR: like it or not you need so much regulation or you end up with companies and minority groups causing lots of problems. | Sep 30 14:28 |
| oiaohm | PBS makes companies fight to provide best price for items for a complete country instead of being able to go around individually gouging as much as they can. | Sep 30 14:29 |
| MinceR | and if you have so much regulation, you'll end up with companies and minority groups controlling that regulation | Sep 30 14:29 |
| MinceR | and through it, you | Sep 30 14:29 |
| schestowitz | task: | Sep 30 14:29 |
| schestowitz | fund the most ridiculous IBM page | Sep 30 14:30 |
| MinceR | you'll keep liking that "critical force" until it hits you | Sep 30 14:30 |
| schestowitz | or article | Sep 30 14:30 |
| schestowitz | about how IBM supports women | Sep 30 14:30 |
| schestowitz | I am working on a new article | Sep 30 14:30 |
| schestowitz | with Nixon audio about IBM's pres | Sep 30 14:30 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: Australia has lower minority groups controlling regulation due to mandorary voting | Sep 30 14:30 |
| oiaohm | So how system is design is important. | Sep 30 14:31 |
| schestowitz | I have lost track of "worst of femmewashing" by IBM | Sep 30 14:31 |
| schestowitz | but I saw some examples over the years | Sep 30 14:31 |
| schestowitz | I will debunk their propaganda | Sep 30 14:31 |
| MinceR | oiaohm: the government is a minority group | Sep 30 14:32 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: in Australia case it a fairly big minority think when you look the number of people direction involved one way or another is 10% of the population | Sep 30 14:37 |
| MinceR | so if 10% of the population decides you must adopt a different religion, you will happily comply? | Sep 30 14:38 |
| oiaohm | High percentage of population than some years voted in the USA president in the USA. | Sep 30 14:38 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_religion_in_Australia Legally they cannot do that. Government in Australia to change something Constitution requires the complete population to vote. | Sep 30 14:41 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | Freedom of religion in Australia - Wikipedia | Sep 30 14:41 | |
| MinceR | yeah, because a government has never ignored its constitution before | Sep 30 14:41 |
| MinceR | and more importantly, the armed forces of a government have always cared whether their orders were in full compliance with the constitution | Sep 30 14:42 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: Australia breach of constitution triggers 3 possible groups. 1 the Governor general who can command armies and dismiss governments. 2. Australian police forces(yes breaking Constitution is a crime) 3. General citizen rights to citizen arrest and prosecute. | Sep 30 14:47 |
| MinceR | yeah, i've never seen such measures work, ever | Sep 30 14:48 |
| oiaohm | So yes armed forces and governments do care about proveable breaches of Constitution | Sep 30 14:48 |
| MinceR | they just do what they're told and if it is found out that they were in the wrong, someone gets to sue them maybe... after they've already killed you | Sep 30 14:48 |
| oiaohm | We have see people in parlement arrested so removed from parlment for good for breachs of Constitution in this country. | Sep 30 14:48 |
| MinceR | that's nice | Sep 30 14:49 |
| MinceR | it doesn't happen in most places | Sep 30 14:49 |
| oiaohm | Once arrested and convicted of breach of Constitution in our system you are legally out for good. | Sep 30 14:49 |
| oiaohm | from head of any government position.l | Sep 30 14:49 |
| oiaohm | Heck as even a government servent. | Sep 30 14:50 |
| oiaohm | Our system really takes Constitution serous-ally. | Sep 30 14:50 |
| oiaohm | Its why 3 parties are allowed to enforce it. | Sep 30 14:50 |
| oiaohm | Out side government., | Sep 30 14:50 |
| oiaohm | Its also why every vote for Australia to come a stand alone republic has failed. How will you put in someone in the governer general role who will not like a USA president. | Sep 30 14:52 |
| MinceR | makes me wonder how the monarch is allowed to fuck all of that up on a whim | Sep 30 14:53 |
| MinceR | s/how/how much of that/ | Sep 30 14:53 |
| MinceR | or whatever | Sep 30 14:53 |
| oiaohm | Monarch legally is not allowed todo much other than sack the governer general and trigger another one to be selected., | Sep 30 14:54 |
| oiaohm | Basically Australia has stripped the Monarch of all direct powers. | Sep 30 14:54 |
| oiaohm | But as indirect oversight so you cannot just appoint who ever as governer general it works. | Sep 30 14:55 |
| oiaohm | Problem is how to replace that system in a Republic. | Sep 30 14:56 |

| DaemonFC[m] | There would be no special election in death, resignation, or successful impeachment of a sitting president, byt it's never gone past the sitting vice president. | Sep 30 15:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Even though it could theoretically go all the way down to Secretary of Homeland Security. | Sep 30 15:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In the line of succession, the DHS secretary is even lower than Interior or Agriculture, because those departments already existed. | Sep 30 15:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The only three ways that don't involve cooperation from the president for him to be removed from office are successful impeachment, death, or a declaration of presidential incapacity that is forced on him by a majority of his own cabinet. | Sep 30 15:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But to successfully remove him by decree of the cabinet is difficult if he wants to resist. He can fire any member of the cabinet that he wants to, so if he gets word that they're planning to do it, he could just keep firing them until nobody does it. | Sep 30 15:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's really meant to be used if he gets sick or taken hostage or something. | Sep 30 15:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You really just have to be careful because there's basically no way to get a sitting president out until his term expires unless a good chunk of his own party in the Senate has turned on him. | Sep 30 15:38 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-126K Mail-In Ballots Sent In Lake Co. So Far: Officials | Libertyville, IL Patch | Sep 30 15:44 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm kind of concerned about Republicans setting up fake drop boxes, to be honest. | Sep 30 15:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You know, put them on the corners in some neighborhoods. Like black neighborhoods or something. | Sep 30 15:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | No clue where mine is. | Sep 30 15:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They said they planned to keep mailing about 1,500 per day in Lake County after the initial drop. | Sep 30 15:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I told them to send mine to the PO Box and it saod my ballot was "issued" last Thursday. | Sep 30 15:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But with them being so swamped, I could see how it would get delayed in the staggered mailings. | Sep 30 15:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | At the rate they're pushing them out, they probably won't be done sending the backlog out for another week. | Sep 30 15:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The mail in voting campaign has been pretty successful in Illinois so far. About 6% of the bote was by mail in 2018, and already about a third of registered voters in the state have requested a mail in ballot. The lines to do early in person voting are still backed up for about an hour at any time. | Sep 30 15:53 |

| DaemonFC[m] | They have these things called Provisional Ballots when something's wrong with it, so you can be sure that officials will be screwing around with that. | Sep 30 15:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Going "Oh the signature on the envelope doesn't match." or something. | Sep 30 15:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then they'll crack those open last and usually about 2/3rds of them never count. | Sep 30 15:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's often votes from black people and they say oh that's racist, but you look at it and it really doesn't follow the rules. | Sep 30 15:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You know, it says "sign here, here, and here" and they don't or something. | Sep 30 15:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Or they don't read the instructions and don't place the ballot in the inner envelope. Just the outer one. | Sep 30 15:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Those get tossed too. They're called a naked ballot. | Sep 30 15:57 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I doubt Mike Madigan will ever leave until he dies in office. | Sep 30 18:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But whoever becomes the Speaker of the House will end up inheriting the same House rules, so they would theoretically have just as much power as he does. | Sep 30 18:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Dictatorships don't plan on successors. | Sep 30 18:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They just leave a power vacuum and someone else comes along. | Sep 30 18:48 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: They try but they usually fail, because of trust issues. | Sep 30 18:48 |
| XRevan86 | Yesterday Tatarstan and Turkmenistan were mentioned, and now they're ruled by successors. | Sep 30 18:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think one of two things is likely to come from this election. | Sep 30 18:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Either Trump is ousted and the Senate switches over to a small majority of Democrats. | Sep 30 18:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Or Trump stays but more Democrats in the Senate and House. | Sep 30 18:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | History shows that the incumbent president who wins re-election almost always loses seats in both the midterm and the presidential election. | Sep 30 18:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Quite possible he'll be dealing with House and Senate Democrats for the rest of his term. | Sep 30 18:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | FiveThirtyEight predicts a 58% chance that Democrats take the majority in the Senate, but it's almost certain that they pick up at least 2 or 3 seats. | Sep 30 18:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also, a 78% chance that Biden wins. | Sep 30 18:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But these are separate odds, of course. | Sep 30 18:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In North Carolina, Cal Cunningham (D) has a pretty stable 5-8 point lead over Lindsey Graham. | Sep 30 18:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But Biden and Trump are tied. | Sep 30 18:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's pretty clear that Cunningham probably pulls off a win regardless of what happens there between Biden and Trump. | Sep 30 18:53 |
