Aside from racism, it is usually the belief that the new immigrants will either be economic competition for those with jobs or a drain on welfare.

So you keep the computer engine running.

At a certain distance, the concert is less the event and more a reason to plan a vacation around going to the concert.

Yes!

But this is really more of a crude simulacrum that can parrot out recorded bits of a person's life on command.

This is a significant problem on Reddit as well.

There needed to be resources and admin actions devoted to keeping disagreeing groups separate for the respective health of their communities.

Even then, it is a common practice to outright ban people from some subs if they participated in other subs as participation in one sub likely meant they would be disruptive in the other sub.

Men's formal wear is already dying. Outside of some sales roles, no one wears a suit any more.

It wasn't most people, but there were a lot.

I feel like you also have people who've read it enough to understand that a rewriting of the Constitution would lead to them losing power. The deification of the Founding Fathers makes the Constitution a sacred document and you don't change sacred documents.

Which is funny because the Founding Fathers understood that the Constitution shouldn't be a sacred document. While this is the only base law the USA has had in two centuries, this was the third base law for the overall country they lived in within their lifetimes.

I feel like the Internet doesn't have that fuzzy but between public and private spaces like real life does. Some people want their public space to be like a Marxist book store on a side street to a Main/High Street. Sure, people can come in to read the literature and talk about the books there. However, if someone comes in wanting to discuss the merits of Ayn Rand, they are probably going to be kicked out.

It is important that Reddit had one unified group to fight against spam combined with several volunteers on the same platform. The Fediverse doesn't have that, it is just too small to spam to a large degree.

There will be several fediverses. The ability to maintain one unified fediverse won't hold.

The Heritage Foundation released one that includes several former Trump staff and the current VP nominee; it is Project 2025. You aren't going to get anything more precise out of Trump or his campaign.

Harris released her full platform and it is ok. I'm sure people want her to do more, but I don't know if she has the votes for it.

I don't think you are going to get a full policy update because the policies in Project 2025 are so bad and the Trump campaign doesn't want to run on it. That's why Trump is running on the idea he will stop immigrants from eating your pets.

This isn't meant to be a discussion on the morality of the embargo, but the affects of the embargo ending for both countries. These affects can be political, economic, or social.
