    Nuance is dead on social media.

    It isn't that bad, yet, on Lemmy but it gets to the point where people just scream past each other and because of things like default ranking comments by vote instead of a timeline whoever can get/bot the most votes wins and the other person is cast into the oblivion of "Click here to see more comments".

        This is some serious unprecedented bullshit. Especially when their charge was money laundering. Basically he is making money laundering legal. Go ahead and break the law. Trump will pardon you...

        At the end of his first term, Trump was selling pardons for $1,000,000. I wonder how much money he charges for a pardon now.

            Thank you! I immediately wondered if OP was a shill since s/he also didn't name the company in the title or summary.

                There is no paywall. It does require you provide an email. Doesn't have to be a real email, just email format.

                  I did some testing. The form accepts anything in the format @.* so long as each * segment only contains appropriate characters. The domain itself doesn't need to be real, but the suffix needs to be real.

                  "[email protected]" works.

                      Add 12ft.io/ in front of the URL. It's a proxy that bypasses paywalls.

                        Yeah, fuck that. Extra unnecessary steps.

                            Yes, the TLD. Wasn't really sure if most people would know what a top-level domain is.

                                  I've had much better luck with archive sites, but they can be slow.

                                      Meh we put ourselves at the center of globalization and trade by offering the Europeans access to our markets in exchange for being our meat shields if the Ruskies ever decided to get uppity.

                                      Now globalization is starting to break down because we have no interest in maintaining it. Every president since Clinton has been more and more isolationist than the last. Even Biden had no interest in maintaining the order. The aid he offered to Ukraine was primarily military support, there was very little economic support for after the war.

                                      Trump has moved the needle on populism in the US. Breaking global trade was always going to happen, but Trump is accelerating it. Yes he is a corrupt skum bag, but we’ve had skum bag presidents in the past.

                                      America in the long term will be fine, our demographics are better than Europes or Chinas, we make our own energy and grow enough food to feed our population. We just need to restore manufacturing to North America (I.E. Canada, Mexico and USA).

                                      America can exist quite happily as a regional hegemony and let Europe, India, Russia and China fight over the rest of the world.

                                      Except your infrastructure falls apart, because maintaining it all would be too expensive. Eisenhower didn't think of maintenance cost.
