Everyone I know uses signal, even our neighborhood group messaging is a signal group.

Then again my neighbors are all reasonable people.

Actual health insurance is literally illegal in the USA. It’s all some sort of partially pre-paid health subscription crap that you get punished for not buying. Every time the government steps in the help they make it worse, even as far back as WW2 with “salary caps” leading to extra non-monetary incentives, like medical insurance, company car, etc. Then the government gives business tax breaks to provide insurance making it more expensive for an individual to buy so now your health is tied to your work. Then they help by… etc. etc. etc.

Depends on what age you could as “child”. But yeah.

DO NOT START DRINKING

chill, bro

Debian. It’s FOSS.

I can have a 100% FOSS system. Everything else includes non-free stuff by default.

Cool build, that should should be nice and fast.

!Ukraine_UA@kbin.social is the federated link format.

Do you understand that hypothetical questions don’t have be real?

Even if nobodies house was damaged his point stands.

So why bother being argumentative? Especially when you’re, ya know, wrong.

Inflation is a tax on hoarding money.

It’s a tax on my savings and my retirement. My savings lose 2% a year, on purpose. This means I have to play in the investment game to so much as break even. I’d rather not have to play the stock market game and just save my money for retirement without it losing value.

(such as Capitol Hill)

Is that related to Cypress Hill?

The TLDR:

They hate capitalism because they’re losers and they think that under a different system they wouldn’t be such a loser. But they would be.

“someone has a different opinion than me, they must be dumb”

Go back to reddit.

edit: You know down voting something doesn’t make it untrue? This is true whether you like it or not.

Every time I ask for “capitalism” problems I get answers about what the government does.

“too big to fail”? Government bailouts.

“antitrust”? Government granted monopolies and making the laws so that barriers to entry are too big.

“police shootings” Government gang.

“inflation”? Government monetary policy.

“colonization”? Government expansion

“not enough social programs”? Government policy.

Then you’ve got the sub-70s who go on about “exploitation” which is rooted entirely in fiction.

Life requires work. All life everywhere. Humans aren’t exempt from this; demanding that others do all your work and provide for you or free isn’t going to work.

Some of these people would complain that they have to chew their own food.

People forget that capitalism has lifted literally billions of people out of poverty, it’s advanced our technology to where it’s basically magic. It increased the amount of food we can grow with fewer people allowing people to move past subsistence farming (which many socialist countries reverted to).

Capitalism uses people greed to provide better, cheaper, faster versions of things…

Then the government gets involved and instead of blaming the government they’re told to blame capitalism, so they do.

How much is it worth now?

I didn’t slander shit. I posted two facts. Facts can’t be slander. You know I’m right, and you’re perfectly capable of using a search engine so don’t even bother going that route, I’m not here to teach you.

I was aggressively downvoted for saying conservatives aren’t all greedy selfish assholes, and providing links to liberal sources to back up my claims.

The left hates it when people who aren’t the left are allowed to speak.

“People who don’t support my party are stupid”

Is a pretty big “poorly educated” sign.
