The 4 largest companies control 70% of the market. Markets tend to be one to three companies taking the lions share and then a long tail.

The top 10 will easily round up to 100%.

I'd also be hard pressed to find a meat producer that actually supported climate initiatives and wasn't some super small farmer.

Far right arab supremacists also exist. Impossible to rule them out especially given the timing and circumstances.

In cases where something looks stupid but your knowledge on it is almost zero it's entirely possible that it's not.

The people that maintain Unicode have put a lot of thought and effort into this. Might be helpful to research why rather than assuming you have a better way despite little knowledge of the subject.

Ohh stfu hate speech has always been punishable by law and a demagogue will do whatever they want. Precedent doesn't matter. "You better not strike back or the bully might do something in the future" is the cry of cowards and centrists.

As a user you can hop instances and even have accounts on multiple ones.

As an instance operator you can choose who you connect to and who you don't.

It's maximum freedom for all.

Are you familiar with Karl Popper's paradox of tolerance? Might be worth a google. Tolerating intolerance is entirely unsustainable and when you do intolerance will win out.

Genocide denying? Best I can tell Biden is in support of stopping the violence and negotiating peace which would be a two state solution.

On the second thing are you aware of how our system of government works? You should read up on it. Blaming Biden for it is just plainly misinformed.

And charged how many times?

So go be one. How brainwashed do you have to be to believe hostages are being treated well by Hamas.

Several of the letters make mention of his conviction. Someone posted them above.

Just to clarify birth certificates are never used for medical treatment. If this information is needed the kind approach would be to add a new field to record gender assigned at birth.

He got them a few and far far less than they asked for.

Most of the time. Sometimes it can lead to code that is ambiguous and ASI picks the wrong way to interpret it.

Again you do not because the world consists of more than your interests and job description.

Bikes often solve or supplement the last mile problem with connections to transit. Proper bike lanes would be a massive boon to the reach of new and existing public transport.

The Biden admin is also looking at federally improving zoning. https://www.usich.gov/news/white-house-announces-new-actions-to-lower-housing-costs-and-boost-supply

To say nothing about the large amount of zoning reform and organizing happening in every major city in the US. NY's plan for example doesn't just come out of nowhere.

they never do though lol

Ohh so you're moving to a wealthier neighborhood. Could have just said that. Capital is your problem, not city vs. non-city.

It's not. History never is and it'd be worth understanding how we got to this place.

Same but the meme is funny

lol okay you clearly need to brush up on american politics because no one who supports the party of not feeding or housing poor children is loving

Yeah, park and ride, bike and ride, complete public transit, or even driving on less crowded highways to cities with more available parking because other people chose other modes.

Ultimately how anyone would commute depends on their own personal factors and what's available. In the future we'll have more multimodal transport and that should make things nicer for everyone.

Taking swift actions to oppose neo-nazis being able to spread their ideology is not running from them. Quite the opposite. Anyways it's banned now so this is all moot.

You're at 15 so far idiot. Go for 30. Post pics.

The problem here is that you don't know how deep their role was. Nothing is being made up. Pope John XXIII even wrote about the role Catholic antisemitism played in the lead up to the Holocaust.

It's actually spewing tire and brake particles everywhere. It's responsible for 30% of microplastics in our environment. It should not be anywhere near our main mode of transportation in the future.

Hrmm. TIL. Thanks!

Where's lemmy's /r/confidentlyincorrect

Water cooled things are air cooled. The difference is in noise and where it's located.

Nahh dude you've just got this one wrong.

Birth certificates are not used for any medical purpose. They are entirely for identification.

Not personal vehicles no. Half the pollution of a car doesn't come out the tail pipe. EVs are a huge problem. Additionally the amount of EVs we'd need to make to compensate for all the cars out there is gigantic.

There is no good environmental argument for every household to continue to own a personal vehicle and to maintain and build the insane amount of infrastructure they need.

tldr; trains, buses, bikes unless there's a specific need like for manual labor or going to very low population places

They're not though. EVs and their infrastructure are still very environmentally harmful.

Biden actually got the rail workers everything they asked for months after the strike ended. I had no idea about this until recently so figured I'd share.

I'm sorry. Life comes in waves. It'll get better.

Bro like 80% of the population lives in/near cities.

This fuckin quote is from Joseph Goebbels and was about one of his views on a Jewish conspiracy. I so hate this quote.

You might want to read a little deeper. Technology always removes jobs. People shift to new jobs. The unknown is if new jobs will exist or if we're entirely post scarcity.

Car infra is the most ableist thing in transportation you idiot.

Try being vision impaired and driving. Try being in a wheelchair and getting down the average American street. Try having a limp and crossing a large intersection in 20 seconds. Try being an entirely able bodied person and getting to the other side of a highway that cuts through your city.
