It wasnt a half measure.

Its just, when you roll out a revolutionary change in the way things are done, like the ACA was, there are going to be issues that pop up after rollout that no one could predict.

Which is why you need follow up legislation to address those unpredictable holes/cracks/issues.

and unfortunately the only way thats gonna happen is with a supermajority of democrats who have the cajones to just ram the shit through without playing games and without trying to get the republicans involved, because the republicans will stop at nothing to prevent anything they see as a “win” for democrats, no matter how much misery and suffering it causes the American people. They’ll watch their own mothers suffocate to death from preventable disease rather than let the dems have a “win”.

and to top off the absolute miserable bastardry, they’ll then run campaign ads for the next 12 months talking about how democrats are mother-smotherers

ACA only sucked cause Republicans blocked every attempt to address the faults and issues that only became apparent after rolling it out.

Hey, thats all the more reason for us not to have it.

We’re America, god damnit. American Exceptionalism demands we pave a different path. A rugged path. Like the men of the wild west! We cant use the same idea everyone else has, thats just filthy socio-communism!

Suuuure buddy. I don’t get paid enough to care about a simple autocorrect mistake.

I guess its easy to use when your desperate to discredit criticism, though.

Just like when you make fun of someones obviously low hanging fruit and totally a trap user name.

It doesnt help that big search engines like google have realized people will go as far as page 2 or 3 to find the results, so intentionally worsen their search results to increase ads being served.

weird, I’ve gotten one of those stickers every time i’ve voted my entire life. i thought it was just a given.

I’m sure she’ll not hesitate to take all the credit for it should aid come despite her blocks, too.

“You expect America, with its history of breaking promise and agreement and doing whatever the fuck it wants and giving two middle fingers to anyone that doesnt like it… to break its promises and agreements with Israel to prevent a genocide? THE NERVE! HOW UNCOUTH! WHY I NEVER!”

they’ve publicly admited they cant win fair elections.

Everyone that votes gets some variant of “i voted” sticker already, that changes every where, sooooo…

I dont want to do the whole “640K ought to be enough for anybody”, but I cant imagine most home users, average and production, hitting the ram limit of windows 7 which is like 200gb or there abouts.

I would think anyone running loads that would require that much are probably running linux, like servers and such.

but even so, I’m sure it could have been expanded if there was an actual need.

Vista paved the way for Win7 by highlighting the abysmal driver and support issues. Which got significant work done on it so by the time Win 7 acme out things were in a good state.

Vista was, much like ME, was a decent OS hampered by its time and hardware, but have been meme’d into festering shitpiles.

That hasnt been true for a while.

8 was bad, 10 was bad, 11 is bad.

Yep, I’ve said this before.

Windows 7 was the last great OS by microsoft.

It was light enough to not be a bother on even used hardware.

It was exceedingly stable and didnt need regular reformat and reinstalls like all previous windows OS’s.

Didnt need to be constantly rebooted every time you exited a big task like previous Windows.

and you were able to do pretty much anything on it easily and without much fuss.

and, outside of like driver installs, the OS pretty much stayed out of your way.

It was brilliant. It was the best.

It was the peak of the curve. 3.11/95/98/ME/NT/XP all built up to 7, and 8/10/11 are all falling further and further away from 7.

The only reason to get rid of windows 7 is that there was no further way to monetize it since it had pretty good market saturation. If it wasnt for that Win7 would probably be the default OS for another 10+ years.
