I'm not deep into the lore, but as far as I understand sovcits believe there is a shadow trust (or a corporate entity with their name in all caps) created for every person that the government gets control of at birth when you "register" it. They also believe that certain laws only apply to this corporate entity and not to them as people, and that they can exploit loopholes to get access to this shadow trust to pay for things by telling others to charge bills to their corporate entity (again, name in all caps) instead of to them as people.

I guess she is expecting a new baby to have a new shadow trust for her to be able to pay for stuff with, thus why she wants to make sure she doesn't "give up control" of it.

The cynic in me believes that the Republicans calling for Biden to have a drug test before the debate was good old projection, and Trump was the one who was actually hopped up on drugs. Can't ride that pharmaceutical train all the time though.

Advertisers believe they are doing you a favour by using personal information to serve "better" ads that would be more "interesting" to you.

I thought all this sovcit stuff was based on some conspiracy of the US government creating secret accounts and ownership of citizens at birth. If this person has a green card then they weren't born in the US, and none of that would apply to them?

I know this is probably too much logic for them to comprehend though. It does tickle me a little that sovcits would be cool with foreigners coming to their country and just declaring themselves ~~citizens~~ state nationals without any due process. How progressive!

I'm so glad the blue check marks are working as intended to combat bots and boost real voices. /s

We won't need guillotines if we can just make it trendy for billionaires to do dumb shit like this. 👍

Oh, like the time in 2009 when the US government gave $81 billion dollars to the automotive industry? Or again in 2023 when Biden put $12 billion in incentives on the table for them to make EVs?

Article title should be "people who treated a basic need as an investment crying that they cannot realize the overinflated value of their investment without becoming homeless". 🙄

The changes that lead to the protest were only the preparations for an IPO. When that sale actually happens, I think things will get even worse with new corporate interests and influence. This story isn't over.

It seems like "parental rights" is the new strategy that far right radicals are using to erode personal rights and freedoms. Up here in Canada they're using it to force gender non-conforming children to be outted to their parents by their schools, and even acknowledge the violation to the rights of children through the use of the notwithstanding clause: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/sask-bill-137-notwithstanding-clause-1.6993335

Your comment to keep politics out of hockey is also political, so you should delete it or accept your own hypocrisy.
