  • Agreed, where I was growing up in the U.S. we had a bunch of regional parts manufacturers and Boeing contracts were always prized My dad was a union guy working at one of those factories for a while before it got bought out by a larger multinational corp. AFAIK they ended up shifting a lot of that manufacturing out of the U.S. into Mexico while downsizing the U.S. operations. That’s kind of how it goes in that industry :/



  • Talk to families of unjustified imprisoned people or to the people itself.

    Do you actually know & speak to people in El Salvador? Pretty much everyone I know there (family/friends) are ecstatic that there are no more gang members running around unchecked. The country is safer now then it has been in years.

    Nothing is perfect of course, poverty is still a major issue, but not having to deal with gang members every time you ride the bus, go out shopping, even just drive around, it’s a huge deal over there.

    Sure I get what you’re saying but for most people there it’s been a positive development.

    But since he just imprisoned everyone and their relatives, its only a temporary fix – unless he wants to imprison them for life.

    True… to be honest I suspect those people are imprisoned for life. No one expects gang members to be let out of prison while Bukele is still running the country, that’s going to be something that gets revisited when/if he’s out of office. It’s a massive human rights issue but at least for now the majority of Salvadorans consider it a net positive.

    The funny thing is that this article is about bitcoin & most Salvadorans don’t particularly care about that at all, it’s just kind of a headline that isn’t going to win/lose Bukele any support in the short term at least.




  • Ah I remember that one, that AI image looked just like one of those weird t-shirt spam posts LOL.

    That aside not quite sure what position this community takes on AI generated posts. Personally I’m here for the normal memes so I’d probably unsub if it was flooded with AI posts, but just a random post once in a while isn’t a big deal. For what it’s worth there are definitely communities around that cater to AI image posts, you could try one of those instead.
