Originally posted by Sudo Thats very hyperbolic and untrue. Donald Trump can say whatever he wants, whenever he wants, however he wants to say it, as he has tended to due. A company has the freedon to decide whether or not they carry it. It sets a terrible precedent to say a company or individual is forced to carry the message of a shitty lame duck president (or a throbbing vigorous one) simply because when they are a service the president partakes in they lose the ability to make their own choices of free enterprise. Fuck that maoist shit. Tech companies are terribly run with terrible objectives because they are given the freedom to do so. What kind of authoritarian shit is forcing a podium?
These handful of companies enjoy a near-monopoly on communication, largely due to government interference in the market. In terms of the first amendment, this makes them the equivalent of the 'town square' where freedom of speech applies in the same sense that freedom of speech still applies if a company buys up all the public areas of a town.
The fact that the government has not only funded them through outfits like Al'phabet but selectively applied the law to their cartel to their benefit, (specifically - protections relating to the distinction between publisher and platform) makes it super hilarious that they're using their 'untouchable' position to undermine their elected president.
Not only is Trump being blacklisted or banned on major social media platforms and services hosted by the few major tech companies, they're actively colluding to deplatform him from anywhere outside of their control, as evidenced by both Google and Apple removing Parler's app on the basis that they won't moderate wrongthink. Ironically enough, since they officially claim to be platforms, they are legally required to only censor blatantly illegal content and are doing the wrong thing by censoring opinions that aren't direct calls to action.
Originally posted by Sudo It's not a perfect example of your evil and seditious statement because its a company deciding it doesn't want to be part of an increasingly irrelevant individual's intent to sow discord among the populace. It's entirely understandable. As much as I enjoy laughing at trump tweets there is absolutely nothing wrong with banning him for 2 weeks
The core idea behind capitalism is that the free market remains free because all entrants have equal opportunity; monopoly shouldn't happen because a company that grows too large becomes inefficient and is usurped by newcomers that are able to offer similar products or services at more reasonable price.
In a capitalist state the economic power is parallel to political power and they're meant to be kept separate because the purpose of a government is to serve the interests of the people, whether they're profitable or not. Because there's no fundamental law keeping these two structures apart, they'll always end up intertwined. Economic power leaks into the political system which, through regulation, changes the rules of the market in a way that's beneficial to the 'investor'.
What we're seeing here is government interference in the market creating a cartel that is, in effect able to dictate to the government. Can it end any other way? -

Originally posted by Sudo why does that matter? Its trump's last days and there is no benefit to having him on the platform anymore. If I had a media platform I would ban trudeau from it for no good reason. Know why? Because freedom.
are you asking why it's important that almost the entire media industry can collude to decide what an elected president can publicly say? -

The best way to respond to anger is being calm and cool. It's fun to sit back and watch frothy people be upset and sometimes they get even more upset if you aren't angry with them.
Being dead inside is a blast sometimes
would be pretty funny to get your own bullhorn from under the counter

works by inhibiting certain liver enzymes and I'm not sure which ones break this down
Originally posted by Sophie Yes, also this. However Omeprazole and Pantoprazole inhibit the same enzyme much more effectively, plus you don't have to down a carton of juice right before bed.
I can probably find some of that, won't it give me heartburn or some shit if I use it when I don't need it though?
