At least two brands have said they will suspend advertising on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, after their ads and those of other companies were run on an account promoting fascism. The issue came less than a week after X CEO Linda Yaccarino publicly affirmed the company’s commitment to brand safety for advertisers.

      Nah. Our state should do more and better things than that.

      I like having a space program, for example. And education for all

          A space program is not optional in today’s world. As is education, among a huge number of different things

              There are many schools of thought on what a government is for or should do and most people do not ascribe to the notions you are presenting as fact.

                  It doesn’t matter what you think. Governments are expected and set up to do much more than that around the world and that’s because that’s what their intents are. It’s not just those three things. If what you said was true, we’d have had no meaningful progress on anything.

                  You can deny it all you want, denial ain’t just a river in Egypt

                    I think you’re misunderstanding the person you’re talking to. They are just saying that anything that can’t do those 3 things is not a government.
