    How is abortion and big tech linked whatsoever? Why does every company need a political stance on things? It’s like the government is trying to force them to have some “partylike member” that will capitulate to the popular social narrative the media wants to push… almost like the CCP since they control much of the media…

    I think we should vote on the ballots in November if we should have term limits on the supreme justice’s because they are out of touch with the people and they are corrupt paid and bought for let’s vote on weather they should stay or go not be appointed because we see what that looks like.

    Individuals could care less what the group says; regardless of if their job is on the line or not. Individuals tend to put principals first and foremost. Group-thinkers can’t conceive of this concept. They are too preoccupied with fitting in or finding validation. Group-thinkers are the bane of society and individuals are the reason for everything that pathetic group-thinkers take for granted.

    If democrats had not pushed for abortion on demand up to birth, and set a reasonable limit like 15 weeks with special exceptions, this ruling may not have happened.

    ???? Rather poor rationale for that dichotomy of those two choices.

    They could also start funding Pregnancy Care Centers, Motherhood Assistance Clinics, adoption programs, or even just help subsidize health care for the poor.

    Not waste money on trying to attack Americans who happen to agree that Roe vs. Wade was wrong.
    Especially when Roe vs. Wade was preventing proper discussion on the subject.

    Like the fact that the start of the discussion should have been, that woman only has a universal Right to Refuse to Abort.
    Not Starting & Ending the discussion with the woman having acquiesced to having a abortion… and everyone must either help her, or get out of the way.

    Also…. way to push for a Big Brother scenario there. Or perhaps it’s a corporate tech oligarchy there.
    I get that you feel attacked by this Ruling, but lashing out against people who are willing to acknowledge/accept the real need for some sort of Abortion access, just because they’re conscience is not willing to accept unrestricted abortion access as ethically viable….
    It feels good. It only makes the discussion harder though.
    Peace.

    In the same time the court rule in two cases
    First case you do not have control over my Gun
    Second case I have control over your body (you do not have control over your body)
    This is why the Christian democrats don’t want Christian hypocrite to rule this country, so we do not go to the Stone Age like Iran, Afghanistan….etc.

The Despacio tent is a temple of music for audio geeks, and the brainchild of LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy, Stephen and David Dewaele of 2manydjs aka Soulwax, and audio engineer John Klett. First created in 2013, Despacio makes its way from festival to festival, blasting dancers with vintage vinyl from seven McIntosh speaker stacks that make up the 50,000-watt sound system along with the lighting rig and iconic disco ball that complete the experience. CNET social producer Faith Chihil got a chance to catch it at Portola Music Festival in San Francisco and here’s what she found. #despacio #portolamusicfestival #festival #audiophile #vinyl
