@techprophet #FDR created a #framework to rein in the worst aspects of #capitalism. Beginning with #reagan that framework was dismantled. An important leg, Glass-Steagall, which #regulated #banks was partially #repealed under #clinton. Within a decade, the #greatrecession hit. This was not a #coincidence. Every #economic system requires some degree of #regulation to operate optimally. #doddfrank was a step in the right direction, but IMO somewhat more is required.

Members of #Montreal 's #ChineseCommunity gathered in Chinatown on Sunday to mark the 100th anniversary of the #ChineseImmigrationAct aka the #ChineseExclusionAct .

The #exclusion act stopped all #Chinese #immigration into #Canada & divided hundreds of families until it was #repealed in 1946.

Five years ago today people in Ireland (& some who travelled #HomeToVote) #repealed the #8th in Ireland.
There was lots of organising for people to get to their polling place (Ireland doesn't make it as easy as some other countries).
The following day I was in a sunny field full of buttercups desperately waiting on updates from the tally people via twitter.
By the time the marriage equality and abortion referendums came I had already lost my Irish vote, but am very proud of how the country voted

The courts just ruled against us in United States v. Microsoft Corp 😢

The United States thinks that Internet Explorer is a #monopoly on the browser market. This is wrong and the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 should be #repealed.

The United States is just mad that Internet Explorer is the #fastest and #best browser.

Yikes, I didn’t realise I was supposed to do an #Introduction

I’m Ciara, born in Kerry but the fine people of Cork have allowed me live in their wonderful city for many a year.

I am crap at introductions but I recon that’s grand on here as I know I’ll be following way more people than will follow me. Working for a tech company so feeling super secure in my career choices! Love #books, I just wish I would read them as fast as I acquire them.
