Don't forget mutual agreements by major established ISPs not to encroach on each other's territory and actually have to *gasp* compete!

What? You don't enjoy the prospect of having to pay significantly more for crappier satellite connections? Just another reason Elon is so involved - he wants to speed up the ROI for Starlink.

Imagine someone blind who also has Parkinson's - they can't see to use Voice Access, and they can't control their hands well enough to interact with the screen physically in a reliable manner using TalkBack. You can't actually use those two accessibility features together - they are mutually exclusive in that they require you either be able to see the screen, OR you must be able to interact with it physically as it reads out what you're touching. Why is there no way to interact entirely verbally?

ETA: please see my added example in OP.

You're ignoring the "prayer of winning" part. Until then, I'm voting against the bigger asshole.

A truly progressive third party that also actually has a prayer of winning. They would need a groundswell of individual small donors making up much of their campaign funding because mainstream ain't gonna fund them, so good luck with that.

I doubt Trump is going to care enough to keep his promises. He ran to avoid jail and for the ego trip from winning - he got both, so he's gonna coast and do whatever his handlers tell him just so long as they let him take full credit for anything positive.

They will tell him to do things that will benefit them by removing the guardrails on the economy so they can exploit the hell out of it in record time. As such, it'll initially look good before it burns itself out, by which time most of his term will be up anyway. By that time he'll have gotten his sycophants to ensure he is fully immune to prosecution, along with a more fully stacked Supreme Court to ensure it stays that way.

Need proof? How much has Mexico paid into the border wall, eh? Plenty of other unfulfilled promises from the first time around to point at, if you need more.

If you're in the US, you're already there - just give it some time for that truth to take its inevitable hold.

They'll find some way to blame Dems for anything that becomes too unpopular, and their base will willingly buy into it to avoid responsibility - until something bites them personally. It'll take far too long for it to affect enough of them personally to save the rest of us with some semblance of rationality, though.

Dude was woke DECADES before the term was coined - no wonder I loved Bloom County.

It's about effing time he gets to experience what he's been doing to all of us.

I don't care what they say, a single space after a period at the end of a sentence is NOT enough. Now get offa my lawn!
