What does being sovereign have to do with anything in this case?
- nemo44x 8mo agoThe sovereign is the ultimate authority. In the USA “we the people” delegate the sovereign power to our elected officials. They are now exercising that power in the interest of the people (they believe) that grant that power.
- Rudybega 8mo agoYou don't actually believe in the core tenets of the USA if you think that the government should have or should exercise unchecked, abusive power.
- charcircuit 8mo agoThe power should be checked by the people and the government we have established. It shouldn't have its power checked by private corporations.
- spankalee 8mo agoThe government wants to use AI to decide who to kill. Fuck that.

The government can't unilaterally change the terms of a contract to seize more value for itself, at least not without following processes that don't play out on Twitter. You could even make a Third Amendment case if you stretched the logic far enough. Does "you can't be forced to quarter soldiers" extend to being forced to provide other forms of support?
- nemo44x 8mo agoThat’s a stretch. They’re saying that they are cancelling their contract and anyone that you can’t do business with both parties. California literally does this all the time.
- CamperBob2 8mo agoCalifornia literally does this all the time. Does what? Place companies on a list of businesses that no supplier to the state government of California is allowed to do business with? I'm unfamiliar with such a list but I suppose anything is possible these days.
