The Shawshank Redemption would also like a word.

Business people making business decisions. 🤷‍♂️

You can solve our issues with investment, like Democrats do. Our economy does better under Democrats than Republicans.

Republicans seem to think this is how things work and that may explain the consistent economic downturns you see under most Republican admin’s.

Until the American people figure this out, things will suck.

Democrats may not be your cup of tea, but it’s undeniable the country does better when Republicans are not in charge over the past century or so.

By helping eject from those systems. There’s lots of cool open source projects based on all sorts of different hardware. And you can self-host some bits and pieces of your digital life if you really feel motivated to.

I don’t know if it’s much help but I never said it would solve all the things you seem to want it to. There are some alternatives out there for people feeling trapped by big tech, I’m just trying to share a small piece of that.

Maybe we disagree on the kinds of technological problems society needs to solve. 🤷‍♂️

Ok, but the solution is super easy, low cost, and right in front of you. Pick up a Raspberry Pi if you want to go even cheaper. If you are uncomfortable with electronics, you can still piece together a bunch of cool stuff just using USB as your interface of choice.

Also, 10" mini racks are cool.

Lots of cool stuff happening in tech if you look outside of the big corporations.

You can order a Linux handheld n100 touchscreen for under $300. Technology is absolutely fun today.

Here again you discuss making up laws. That isn’t what this is.

I didn’t say to make up laws. No one I have seen in this thread said to make up laws. Not clear on what you are talking about.

You cannot be tried for the same crime twice.

If the state acts in bad faith, why should the citizenry respond with good faith?

The number of people ITT that want to find some reason they can’t have an impact by quoting obscure legal theorizing is pretty wild to me.

I am actually not dancing around any case. I believe people should be aware of this in EVERY CASE as long as the rule of law is being unequally applied to us.

Nope.

You should be applying this to all juries you serve on. Accept those summonses. Get on those juries and use your brains.

Lack of political will.

Why? Watch Orville instead.

We saw the beans on toast and and we left. 🤷‍♂️

j/k - the people in charge here are wild narcissists just like in the UK.
