Yeah, I totally get why she said it, just don't think it's a good idea to invite red scare tactics into the 21st century.

Btw your civil reply to my comment truly made my day, hope in humanity slightly raised

I'm happy you do, others might not be so wise

I guess politics is a touchy topic for some.

I don't know why you are insinuating I'm:

1. Agreeing with the original commenter (OC)
2. Communist

I was just attempting to clear up what OC was getting at, no need to get all worked up over it.

To answer your questions.

1. The USSR never achieved what I understand to be communism
2. I understand it's uncommon to actually comprehend what political terms mean, heck I struggle quite a bit, but that's why all who read the definitions must, as politely as possible, spread to others what they learnt. In this case what Harris should have said is a dictator period, at most a capitalist one.

Feel free to point out anything I might have gotten wrong, cheers

I guess what @degen@midwest.social is trying to point at is that worker's don't truly control the government and so when the current government seizes the means of production it's closer to a change of hands between different groups of capitalists than anything envisioned by communists.

I'd also like to say that although the government has "seized" 10% of Intel shares for example it has no control over Intel's decisions. Those shares only provide dividends.

Unfortunate, I asked because I see Ubers/bolts using them all the time since they are considered public transportation here

Thank you for all the information

Sorry for the interrogation, are you allowed to drive through the bus lanes?

Thank you for helping me deal with my curiosity lol

Are you required to get any special licence? Does your car require some distinctive sign to show that it's registered in a rideshare platform?

I'm assuming you are describing the driver's pov from the context of the USA.

Do the drivers really use their own cars? Where I'm from drivers usually rent the cars or have a profit sharing agreement with a fleet management company.

Wait, why not?

Are they afraid users won't feel the need to switch since you can talk to everyone either way?

Did signal announce this decision? Or are you inferring from their lack of action?

Aren't they forced to? I thought that was the whole point

The irony of this comment goes through the roof

You're welcome!
