With unemployment this low there are plenty of entry level jobs people can get into in every city in the country. I live in Seattle and I see people out begging to give people entry level/beginner jobs by the light rail stations and all around the city, but homelessness is still on the rise. Bussing them elsewhere doesn't help when they still don't have a home, a bathroom/shower, clean clothes, food, etc.

Bussing them out is just an idea done by the rich so they don't have to see the homeless any longer.

You can also purchase practically the same exact phone for $159. It's an Android One phone as well. Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite.

Snapdragon 625 w/4000mAh battery and a higher resolution screen, dual SIM, expandable SD to 256GB, smaller notch, same chin, full metal body except for the parts where RF needs to escape. The Motorola also doesn't have Band 12 LTE like the Xiaomi. The Motorola is extremely overpriced at $400.

This is priced even higher than the Nokia 7.1 which is significantly higher spec'd and comes from a reputable high quality manufacturer! What is Motorola thinking?

Was it really news? I heard 4 months ago that this was going to be around DC for their coming cozy relationship with the military industrial complex. Everyone could see it coming.

Amazon sure won't be doing that city any favors when it comes and replaces its entire population with tech bros.

It's not like those same complaining fans aren't going to all play it and throw endless money at microtransactions.

Remember COD:MW2 protests?

Yeah, I'm not going to even bat an eye about millionaires and billionaires going to jail for actual crimes and damage done to significant parts of the population. We need to start putting more millionaires and billionaires in jail for crimes instead of black teenagers for having 2 grams of weed in their pocket.

I disagree. It's time to start setting an example for white collar crime.

Why does Facebook get to tell me what's false and not? I'm an adult, I can handle it and research validity myself. Why is it making decisions to what I can and can't see? It's like they're the thought police.

Why aren't they removing all pseudoscience in this case? Why not astrology, why not psychics, why not tarot card readers, why not people selling weight loss drugs, why not people showing videos of 737's recovering from a barrel roll on short final, why not homeopathy, hell why not literally all religion?

>Facebook said this amounted to the most domestic pages and accounts it had ever removed related to influence campaigns.

They don't want some things even if they're operated domestically by Americans, but it looks like per OP, they're fine with people/political PAC's/Political Parties buying literal 'influence campaigns' for ideas that prop up the status quo.

Why is this an allowed form of propaganda but other things aren't? If you take a step back out of the US "two" party system, it's just Facebook propping up the status quo. Why are Republicans and Democrats allowed to advertise their shitty ideas but others can't?

Late Stage Capitalism.

Why do only the rich get to live in sprawling nice populated and interesting areas? It's literal segregation.

They wouldn't build 1 million apartments, for one, Apartments would likely be built at a slower rate than people moving there. Two, as seen in Seattle, only housing for the already wealthy is built. There is tons of demand for low income housing, but no supply because it doesn't make as much profit (if any) so there's no incentive for capitalists to house low income people and the cycle keeps going.

Before I moved into my current place, I was in low income HUD subsidized housing. It was a brand new building with rent control. Rent control worked great, but the owners didn't keep their side of the promise. Maintenance took months, all amenities we paid for were broken, access to the garage to store our vehicles was broken for 4+ months, elevators were broken for months at a time.

There is no way to get people to freely build affordable housing in or around larger cities under this current system.

It's been culturally significant since 1939 and still is. There are still packed shows there almost every night. Music is one of the few places Seattle really has culture.

>Founded in 1939,[4] the Showbox has hosted a diverse offering of music over the decades. From the Jazz Age to the Grunge Era, the ballroom has featured shows by Duke Ellington, Muddy Waters and the Ramones — as well as local artists such as burlesque performer Gypsy Rose Lee, and grunge bands Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, TAD and Screaming Trees.[5]

>Other acts to perform at The Showbox have included Al Jolson, Mae West, Nat King Cole, Jimmy Durante and Dizzy Gillespie, The Police, XTC, X, Blondie, Gang of Four, Iggy Pop, Devo, Dead Kennedys and Jerry Cantrell.[7][8] More recent performers include The Weeknd, Snoop Dogg, Dave Matthews, Kanye West, Lorde, Robbie Williams, Modest Mouse, Death Cab For Cutie, Public Enemy, PJ Harvey, Wilco, The Flaming Lips, Daft Punk, Kasabian, Old 97's, Elliott Smith, Peter Murphy, Guided By Voices, Built To Spill, Billy Idol, David Bazan, Bebel Gilberto, Cat Power, Spiritualized, Sleater-Kinney, Minus the Bear, Coldplay, Bright Eyes, The Roots, Sir Mix-A-Lot, Dita Von Teese, Maroon 5, The Shins, The Melvins, My Morning Jacket, LL Cool J, DJ Shadow, Scissor Sisters, TV On The Radio, Ke$ha, Kimbra, Marina and the Diamonds, B-52's, Lady Gaga, Ice Cube, Paul Simon, Macklemore, JoJo, (Kpop group) A.C.E and many more.[9][5]

You only have the stresses of major homelessness and an extremely large heroin/meth problem, directly due to the endless growth Amazon and other large companies had on this city, with the "top minds" of Seattle having absolutely no clue how to solve it. I've seen multiple people die since I got here, and I've seen people with guns to their heads over drugs outside of my Capitol Hill apartment. Seattle's population willfully ignores everything wrong with the city too.

I live in Seattle. Things like the Showbox reportedly in serious danger of being demolished for luxury condo's are just showing how soulless this city is becoming in the name of 'growth'. The entire city population has been replaced by tech bros and their significant others, tech bro culture, ubers, the food is boring and most restaurants are over-hyped, costs are insane, the people are selfish and rude, there's nothing to do except drink and ride a bike to look at Puget Sound yet again, there's little culture or diversity, and the politicians work entirely in Amazon's favor. I have a decent stable job here, but I'd move if the opportunity was to arise.

Does that private equity lobby state & local governments to use these machines?

Probably.

It's not just consumerism. What doesn't cost money? Walking around?

>As long as my boat is afloat, I care not about yours.

Everything that's wrong about the USA right here.

That doesn't answer my question. People have always weaved their own safety nets and saved, but if this is becoming common in USA to spend almost nothing and live frugal, how can this system stay afloat?

Another point that's pretty unrelated, why would you live decades of your life doing nothing, living extremely frugally? Sounds like a pretty garbage life to me.

Ok, but you still need people to buy things. If they're only saving, there's no demand for products. Capitalism requires people to consume.

Isn't this really bad for a capitalistic system? You need people to spend money and buy things that aren't just rent and basic food.

>what confidence should I have that it is accurate?

They provide no example accounts either, so you will never know if it's accurate. It's entirely possible they deleted legitimate accounts of real individuals at the behest of the DCCC.

>Twitter is being brazenly used as a propaganda tool by terrible actors with terrible agendas. It's infested with strange accounts of dubious authenticity - which I think is fairly obvious looking through the replies to prominent political accounts.

Look through Rebel HQ's Youtube interviews and you may be surprised to see that these "strange accounts" are probably just heavily brainwashed and weird Americans.

How do we trust that these were "automated" when we have no example accounts or actual evidence?

There's nothing wrong with it.

They don't want people to know they're deleting accounts of real people who are simply expressing dissent.

Still waiting on what terms they would have broke. It's not hate speech, it's not illegal, it's not disturbing.

>Do we agree that harmful inaccurate information should be screened for and eliminated?

What prevents them from removing say, any information about workers rights because THEY deem it harmful? This is a very dangerous road to go down, that leads right to fascism.

That's not for you, a company, or political entity to decide though. You have the right to also not vote, and express your political opinion as to why you're not voting, and why others may not want to either.

What terms of service would they be violating? There are automated bots all over Twitter. Telling people to not vote is not hateful, it's not obscene, there's nothing wrong with it. It's full on censorship of ideas.
