I thought glycol phosphate pesticides were derivative of Agent Orange that was used in Vietnam.

He wishes.

I agree. I am for RCV, but pretending that it is a solution to the broader problem is delusional.

The issue surrounding voting are well known: everything from IDs and voter registration, local polling stations, gerrymandering districts, voting during the week, purging voter roles, vote by mail, digital voting machine security, lack of paper trail etc. Not to mention campaign finance laws and citizens united and corruption.

None of that is addressed by switching to RCV.

This doesn’t fix the electoral college or the state electors corruption. It just changes how they’re gonna ignore peoples vote for the popular vote anyway.

Not about free software, it is about capitalist greed and corporate software.

Just because something is free doesn’t mean it works better or doesn’t come with other issues.

It just means that the developers aren’t trying to fuck you over and squeeze every cent of profit from the customers while making the product complete shit.

Another solution is to create a tier of curated content that is only available for kids as opposed to full access to the whole uncensored internet.

Parents would setup the access level for devices since they obviously know their kids age and maturity level. Parents would be held accountable and in control of what their kids are able to access and therefore filter the internet.

As opposed to censoring the whole of internet reality by forcing every developer and adult to prove their age and identity. There would be no reason for children to be allowed on chat apps at all that are not fully monitored by their PARENTS as opposed to by the government.

This should be obvious to anyone by this point.

Maybe he should release the originals?

The most boomer attitude ever. I don’t want to pay taxes that support the community because I don’t have kids.

Fuck you and your entitlement. You are not an island and can’t just decide to pay for whatever services you deem necessary. How do you think roads are maintained and fire stations funded? Or the police?

You want to go back to private fire departments who serve only the rich who pay them instead of public services?

People are more likely to buy product products and proximity to whatever it is they’re trying to cook. Makes perfect sense to have all the “stuff you put on a sandwich” ingredients and close proximity, rather than having a separate section for organic or plant-based alternatives.

A shopper who wants specifically vegetarian or vegan options has to make a special trip to that section which may be in some other part of the store. That leads to less sales for those specialty products and higher turnover.

But up non-discerning shopper might decide to try a plant-based option simply because it’s next to their usual option, or they might buy it by accident. Either way that’s a win for the retailer because someone bought a product they may not have otherwise.

Unfortunately most of these legislations fall to the consumer to make informed decisions with limited education and information, while at the same time battling deceptive practices of the retailer and manufacturer.

The whole reason a lot of these regulations even exist in the first place is the widespread deception of manufacturers lying about their ingredients or quality of ingredients and the danger of making people sick or tricking them into making purchases.

Something along the lines of Mexico’s labeling for excessive sugar etc would work well enough if adapted to “vegan/veggie/meat” etc.

The underlying issue here is it manufacturers try to hide what’s in their products and rely on people not taking the time to look at label ingredients or what they’re actually buying.

Better labeling requirements would solve a lot of these issues.

That doesn’t solve campaign finance laws or any of the other issues stemming from Citizens United.

Politicians have not represented their voters for a long time they represent their wealthy donors. Changing the mechanism for how we vote won’t change enough.

I mean the only profitable part of Google is selling you advertising. Everything else that’s marketed is being free simply there to collect data and sell it as a secondary revenue stream.

Even if you were to split it up in some sort of way most of it still paid for by profits from advertising.

I hate this timeline. I still can’t believe that a fake tv doctor has anything to do with healthcare administration.

Oh that’s an easy one Russia bought Trump and they have him by the balls.

This is why governments want a back door into vpns and encrypted chat apps. So they can find the organizers and disappear them.

Florida used to be a blue state. I think they are making it an example of their shit policies both as retribution but also as a showcase for their stupid policies which I hope fail spectacularly.

I wonder if this deal will also be brokered by Jarad Kushners scammy investment firm.
