A Now Open Letter to the Office of David Crowley About Consumer Rights (see comment)

0 Upvotes

Hello,

I have been interested in your campaign since your big comeback and win in the Democratic primaries. I understand that you are for heavily regulating, but not banning, data centers. In general, I agree with this.

Seeing this stance, I am wondering about your position on other tech regulations, particularly those involving ownership and forced arbitration.

David Crowley, do you...

1) Support forced arbitration clauses? These are clauses in End User Licensing Agreements, Terms and Conditions, and/or other legally binding contracts which strip a customer from their seventh amendment right to trial.

2) Support Section 1204 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act? Which allows the government to sentence someone to up to five years in federal prison for circumventing a digital lock? For example, a generation of Google Nest thermostats was discontinued. Google sent an update that made these thermostats unusable. If someone were to knowingly hack into the thermostat to make it work again, they could receive a five year prison sentence. Is this okay?

3) Support a customer's right to own digital media? If someone purchases a digital movie, should the distributor of that media be able to revoke it at any time? If someone purchases a digital college textbook for a "lifetime" term, should the distributor be able to place a term in the sale that allows them to revoke ownership in five years? Should companies be able to use the words "own", "purchase", or "lifetime" to describe revokable licenses.

4) Do you support static, one time purchase agreements? Should sellers be allowed to change the terms of a sale after a purchase has been made? For example, if one purchases a digital game, should a publisher be allowed to insert a clause that revokes or otherwise changes your rights? Should customers be allowed to decline the changes to their rights without losing access to their paid-for product? Should customers be eligible for a refund if they refuse the terms and lose access to their product?

I look forward to your response to these questions.

Thank you,

XX

Kirk Bangstad is PAYING to sponsor a post that's spreading rumors of Hong, Mandela, Crowley, and Evers on Facebook. It's so insane and it's all untrue.

Post image
95 Upvotes

His post is basically making all of them look bad. His sources are "trust me, bro." He says he got a message from a "high-ranking establishment Democrat" but does not post the message.

Several months ago, right-wing reporter Jessica McBride made a post to spread the rumor that Hong and Mandela dated. Obviously made up since she makes up everything. Source

Kirk made a post blaming Tony Evers and the "establishment" for starting this rumor to stop Hong from winning and to make Crowley win. Why isn't he blaming Jessica? Clearly, he wants to make Evers/Crowley look bad and for people to not vote for him. Kirk added the cheating/abortion part himself to spice it up a little. It's all rumors, not real.

Him posting the rumor is just spreading it even further. He's made a post before talking crap about Hong. Source. He is pretending to be on Hong's side in this post....but if he actually wanted to help her, he would not further the rumor by describing it in detail. He did a horrible just of trying to prove it was false. Plus, the fact that he's talked crap about Hong before just shows his true intentions.

He asked Mandela about the rumor, and his response was basically, "I've got a bridge to sell you." People are going to see that response and him not denying it and will believe this rumor. This hurts Hong and Mandela greatly , especially if they want to further their political careers. This also hurts Evers/Crowley because he is making it seem like they started this rumor. He puts no blame on McBride.

Here's Kirks post. Please take it with a grain of salt. It's all made up. He has no proof of anything. It's just insane to me that he is paying to sponsor the post. It won't show its sponsored from this link because I shared it, but when it pops up on your news feed, it will say it's sponsored like in the screenshot. Maybe if enough of us explain to him that we can tell it's made up, he'll take it down. Hopefully. I just want to warn people before they see his post on their newsfeeds.

I keep seeing this as a sponsored post on my newsfeed every time I log on.

BP in Wild Rose

Post image
745 Upvotes

Took this pic almost exactly one year ago on a fish fry pilgrimage to the east side. I grew up near Wild Rose, so I know how conservative the area is, but this was shocking to me. Multiple cardboard trumps, Israeli flags, religious pamphlets all over the bathroom. Only got the one pic bc I didn’t want to attract attention.

I’ve felt safer in gas stations with bulletproof glass.

Can anyone give an update on this particular BP? Is it still an amerisraeli maga fever dream?

So I had someone tell me recently that if you vote and you cannot mix your vote so if you vote for one liberal vote for every liberal?

This has to be some fake news spread by the liberal media ?

they live in WI and said in their area this is the way 😆
