Only a fascist trying to be a dictator would actually do this.

Sounds like rather than patchwork mini laws like this, they need to revamp the system to ensure no single person can take such drastic overreaching action.

Lets not forget that a president/prime minister isn’t the singular person in charge, they’re merely the figurehead/frontman of an entire government of elected people, as well add representing their party, and of course ultimately are a civil servant working at the pleasure of the people.

95% of the things the president does should go through proper democratic channels within the government and not simply rubber stamped by a single person, that path is the path towards dictatorship.

The few exceptions are rare things that can’t be put to a vote or through regular channels, like launching nukes, etc. But these are exceptions only.

There should never have been a situation where it was possible for a president to personally decide to change the future of the entire nation and indeed world, in such a dramatic and drastic way, without any checks and balances to ensure that it is the will of the people, out even the will of anyone else in government.

Which is why it sounds to me like they need some significant reform, rather than just making this one little change :-(

they got greedy with money, then a big saudi deal fell through and now they’re in the hole big time killing stuff off to save their asses.

And people say monopolising things under one company isn’t a problem these days…

Sphincter isn’t a bad word though, it’s just what we call the many various tube closing methods we have throughout the body.

Besides, if you can be banned for saying a swearword on YouTube, I have a few creators that need to be reported in that case…

obinice, to asklemmy in What’s the least amount of money that would significantly improve your life?
@obinice@lemmy.world avatar

£1000. I could pay for my entire ADHD treatment programme from start to finish, without having to wait YEARS in a waiting list for the free treatment. It would absolutely change literally everything in my entire life, giving me a life instead of circling the drain waiting to die.

But I’ll never be able to save that kind of money, I’m an idiot and my ADHD is crippling.

I considered gofundme, but it’s already full of people who need money for ADHD treatment, and I don’t want to drown them out with yet another plea, you know?

Anyone that does crazy stuff to appease their magical man in the sky isn’t someone I’m ever going to agree with.

That aside, thank you for sharing this. Books and texts aren’t things to be afraid of, or things we should censor and keep from the public. Even if we don’t agree with a point of view, it’s important we understand it, and learn from it however we can.

It says more about the people that are trying to stop you from reading something, in fact. Those people I would never trust.
