No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are doctor's of presidents still bound by HIPPA even if they see a major decline that would massively effect the country? Or can they tell the truth? And can they lie if under pressure from one?

What did you mean by this? Care to elaborate?
More like confirmation bias. People only remember when their prayers “solved” a situation that surely wouldn’t resolve itself either way, but forget the million others where it failed.

Technology@lemmy.world•New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani has collected $9m (£6.6m) in unpaid fines from Amazon, which has been violating clean air regulations by leaving engines running on its parked vehiclesEnglish

Technology@lemmy.world•Mayor Zohran Mamdani is going live on Twitch in new streaming series 'Talk with the People'English
21·2 months agoI’m not even complaining, just pointing out the obvious, even though I understand why it’s the way it is.
As the other commenter said in a reply to this, people are quick to complain about a better solution just because it isn’t perfect. But I’m not complaining because frankly I don’t care that much.
I’m not from NYC, I’m not from the USA and I’m not even from that continent.
It’s cool Zohran won the election, you guys should celebrate his feats and criticise his faults.

Personally I’d enjoy a stream to any federated/open source platform like peertube.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you think people misunderstand what socialist democracies look like?
23·2 months agoSocialism is defined by “the ownership of the means of production by the working class, in a transition to communism”.
There’s some debate about whether cooperatives satisfy this criteria.
What you seem to be describing is a social-democracy, where there’s still the common capitalist dynamics and class interest contradictions, but with the conflict reduced somewhat by appeasing the majority with a social safety net.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you think people misunderstand what socialist democracies look like?
7·2 months agoThey were never socialist, they’ve always been social-democracies, that’s quite a difference even though there’s some shared ideological roots.

16·3 months agoTheir mercenaries were famous throughout Europe and the dependency of the great European powers on those mercenaries led to Switzerland being left mostly in peace.
That’s what I’ve read, but I’d love to be corrected.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is 71° F (21° C) the ideal weather to wear shorts?

I get the feeling, but surely there are people who work there without the education or financial cushion to take a risk on leaving.
What is your position on those people?
