Wow so much freedom. You can’t even alter a picture that you own.

Ask yourself the same question. Not trying to pick on you but think of all the people on your side that are only on your side because of they agree with you on like 25% of the issues or because or some quality.

Just an example of something people are relatively calm about: I can be pro-union for lumberjacks but not want the Pacific Northwest to become a dead parking lot and the spotted owl to be extinct. I agree with them on one issue and not others.

Pass a carbon tax. Oh wait that would be too easy.

If you go to opensecrets.org and look at how much money alphabet and meta have spent on lobbying, you’ll understand the situation better.

That’s nice. Doesn’t change what I said but whatever.

Ok? They still banned tik Tok because it was a threat to alphabet

they can lobby the Feds

The reason why Tik Tok is getting banned

Will let the lawyers decide that, point is it would work.

Owning is boring. You want to rent one through my new app. FRaaS. Flamethrower robot as a service. I am starting the first round of venturing funding at 1 billion. It also has block chain in it.

They have an app for that now. It’s like Uber but somehow even treats their “contractors” in a worse fashion. It’s called Flameaway.

Ok new life goal. Be that guy at the DMV with a permit for a flamethrower arguing with the civil servant that “because it is cool” is a valid reason

Rapid heating of slabs of meat for some weird meat effect rich people pay for

Cool like in Mona Lisa Overdrive. All I need to do now is to get a few and move into an abandoned factory in South Jersey until the Yakuza hire me to look after an AI for them.

I can’t say for sure but at the time the rumor was they wanted to eliminate us as a competitor in the sector we were in. You might be right.

Apple bought the company I worked for once and we all got laid off. That is the end of the story.

Could have voted nay, could have refused to vote on it, could have demanded a rider be attached passing universal healthcare. Choose to vote against our rights to use as shitty app. Therefore I choose to never vote for them again.

Unless you got a time machine my decision is final.

Well yeah, that’s my point? Why do you think their customers are able to pay any amount? Because they’re taking government loans.

No it is because stuff around it was broken.

How did insurance companies increase the cost of healthcare when their goal is to decrease it so they can profit more?

Expensive for us not for them. Given that insurance doesn’t actually payout the cost doesn’t matter to them.

Not really. It might have something I enjoy on it.

I fail to see what is confusing. Insurance is a scam. You have it because the government makes you have it. So of course a grifter is going to grift.

Education went up in cost because nothing was stopping it from going up and everything else is so broken it took the place for it. Kids need therapy and they can’t get it, so schools hire therapists. Kids come into higher ed unready so schools has to hire tutors and offer basic classes. No walkability so here comes a campus bus system. Systematic racism so here comes 8 offices of diversity. A nasty combo of unlimited money and mission creep. Want to stop it? Limit the salary of all uni employees to no more than say 110k a year, stop subsidizing the NFL, and fix all the shit that isn’t working around the ages of 18-23.

Healthcare went up because insurance companies. They are a useless middlemen.

Cars really haven’t gone up that much.
