oh no, sorry. Thats in Michigan where he was supporting Union workers in Sept 2023 source
And like, am I the only one that forgets Hillary’s victory lap and focus on big donors instead of boots on the ground campaigning being one of the reason we already got stuck with trump for four years?
Why are we just doing it again?
Err, if your memory is anything to go by…we’re not? You’re painting this false narrative as a strawman saying Biden hasn’t been in Michigan and he was there LAST MONTH!
Maybe snw isn’t so bad but seriously, start at TOS, or remastered
Are you old like me? Are you assuming young eyes see TOS with as much forgiveness for its time as we do? I like TOS, but its absolutely influenced by the day it was made it in both social order as well as production values. Those of the 1960s don’t immediately resonate with younger audiences today.
I love me some TNG, but I’m imaging sitting down today, having never seen Star Trek, and for the first time in 2024 and watching “Encounter at Farpoint”. I don’t think that would go over well.
This was bad policy by the USA. The Chinese vaccines weren’t as good (lower efficacy) than others available, but they were much better than nothing. Where there was no availability of better vaccines, this discouraged people from getting any protection. People died because of this stupid program.
The military program started under former President Donald Trump and continued months into Joe Biden’s presidency, Reuters found – even after alarmed social media executives warned the new administration that the Pentagon had been trafficking in COVID misinformation. The Biden White House issued an edict in spring 2021 banning the anti-vax effort, which also disparaged vaccines produced by other rivals, and the Pentagon initiated an internal review, Reuters found.
Why is there zero surprise this was done by the Trump administration and undone by Biden?
My opinion is that a person with zero Star Trek knowledge in 2024 would be the most comfortable with Strange New Worlds. Its very approachable and has a young adult character useful for exposition (beyond also being a great character) when needed so new audiences can learn about the world.
What is the espionage device in my pocket actually going to do to me on my day to day life of browsing Lemmy and playing music?
In your case its not so much the device in your pocket, but the telecom switching gear on the backend that all that corporate and government data flows though. Huawei makes lots of that gear.
In specific cases of phones, while your job may not be high value for espionage , there are lots of people that do work highly sensitive positions. If the specific handset redirects email, txt, or phone conversations then that would be a problem at the national security level.
This isn’t a discussion on just what cell phone a person is using, but instead on network switching gear used on the backend where all the data flows through.
could you fill me in on what threats Huawei poses to I, a random poor person going about my day in the US?
One example: You are likely employed by a business here in the USA. If you were to lose your job, that would be a large negative in your life. The NSA isn’t going to ruin an American business unless its the extremely small chance that there’s a national security reason. The CCP would absolutely ruin an American business if it helped a Chinese one. Unless you work for a Chinese employer, the NSA snooping on you would be more beneficial to you than the CCP.
