        Be that as it may, not mentioning which nation the topic applies to enforces the notion that the US is the default if no other context is given.

        Per Anthony Kennedy and a completely fair and impartial republiQan-aligned Supreme Court, money is just another word for free speech.

        Corporations are people, my friend.

          Unless they’re responsible for a crime, then suddenly they’re a faceless abstraction, and you can’t charge those with anything silly!

    This site would be fantastic if they supplied product lists and alternatives.

    PSA: You can make a shortcut and place it on your home screen with most mobile browsers, on Android, and, as far as I know, on iOS. Don’t let people trick you into installing apps for things websites can do.

  • All 3 major hardware stores (Home Depot, Lowe’s, & Ace’s) donate more to Republicans. Aside from locally owned small businesses, any idea where else to go?

      It seems to be based on the contributions of employees not the company itself. I looked up a huge tech company and it said Bernie Sanders was the number one politician supported. That’s absolutely ridiculous. Who cares what employees at a company support? Do they control any of the money used for lobbying?

    The website doesn’t seem to load for me. It briefly shows the info for a split second but replaces it with a white screen.

    Politicians should wear company logos like racing drivers so we know who they are sponsored by.

      You literally can’t even love who you want without it being political; religion, race, gender, sex, class/caste, etc. have all been used by autocratic and democratic governments to prohibit people from falling in love, having consensual relationships, and/or starting a family.

        You can’t love who you want to live without a lot of neurological activity too. So neurology is a lens you could view love through. So is religion, chemistry, math, game theory, philosophy, sports, evolutionary theory, etc

        People reading this thread: if you do not understand what the concept of a “lens” is in this context, please stop skipping over that fact. Either go look it up, or admit you don’t know. Don’t just barrel forward ignoring my point.

      The horror that it is when I don’t want to indirectly support policies I don’t agree with.

        I bet you probably don’t want to help mass-murdering pedophiles either but here you are exhaling CO2 which will get incorporated into a plant that some mass murdering pedophile will eat.

        Just draw in your sphere of concern to that which you can actually affect with a reasonable degree of predictive accuracy.

        This way you kill two birds with one stone: you maximize the amount of actual good you create, while minimizing the sort of mental allergic reactions that come from chasing after smaller and smaller, more and more distant and ambiguous causal connections to global events.

      Politics does influence almost every aspect of life whether we think about it or not.

      Especially for people in minority groups, where sometimes simply existing as they are is political enough.

        Chemistry influences every aspect of our lives whether we think about it or not. Gravity does too. As does complexity and information theory, and the English language, and our clothing, and the fact we tend to build architecture in rectilinear shapes.

        All of these things are ubiquitous things that permeate everything whether you think about them or not.

        Choosing to think about them is called a “lens”.

    Goldman Sachs funds both political parties. Neoliberal solutions are a joke
