seeriously the 14th is fucked

@Cody No, you absolutely do matter. Suppose you get enough people to vote to chip into the vote margin and they have to account for that when they do redistricting and it opens up an opening somewhere else.

Just vote. It takes only a couple minutes. And it's more than sitting on Discord whining.

and NJ might go red

I'm registered already, just dont feel like actually voting will change anything

i know a few people who arent voting in NJ becuase they think its guna be blue no amtter what

this could be a bloodbath

Yeah, I'm still surprised a bit by NJ, but that might be a special case like in Alabama.

id be willing to bet that if dems win the house the economy will tank

I think that's happening anyways.

its happoening becuase of uncertainty

I would not bet against you

people are worried what will happen if dems win

so theres always a decline before an election

that and feds raised interest rates

I've been tellling people the economy is going to tank once we get serious internet regulation.

But Europe is already doing that.

Tech has been propping the economy up for awhile and it's based on growth projections.

Plz explain?

We have had net neutrality for years

But as GDPR comes into effect, stuff like AI becomes difficult or impossible.

The economy is still fine

Simultaneously, people start abandoning and losing faith int he companies and they start looking less like a growth sector and more like and established and stagnant market.

This causes the values of these companies to tank, and it takes everything else out too.

Likely via the banks.

Are you talking about tech companies or telecommunications companies?

You have to understand, privacy is kryptonite to Google and Facebook.

The Silicon Valley companies in general, but mostly the big ones involved in stuff like advertising.

They've been overvalued for awhile.

they will simply buy people's privacy i think

start paying ppl for information

They already do.

and people will sign up in droves

They pay you with a service.

By any means, that's money out of their coffers. Which hurts their valuation.

they're almost too big to fail really.. for every service that takes a hit, they will develop new services
