Privatization helps people who can afford to not be in a situation where they are choosing between only shitty options. The point of a (good) public system is that it’s a consistent, good baseline for ALL people regardless of their socio-economic status.

So in your example, sure, if you can afford it you can put your kid into private school or simply move but what about your neighbors? Can they as well? Society functions best when everyone has fair equity.

The newest models already know whether you’re a bot or not before the checkbox loads. A massive majority of the internet goes through Cloudflare so by the time you land on a site you already have what Cloudflare dubs a Bot Score based on your behavior across the web.

Checking the box really just confirms what they already know. There’s a second form which I’m sure is even more prevalent than the checkbox that renders nothing, requires no user action, but can prevent form submission if you fail the check.

I can also just use stock android and assume they work. Sometimes y’all miss the forest for the trees.

Honestly I’m not for this. There are so many valid ways to attack Trump and simply name calling is unnecessary and stooping to their level.

Not even a good name.

If something is positively weird I typically just call it “interesting” though it won’t work in all instances.

Society is objectively better when everyone is happy and healthy.

Yes because it’s none of my business what other people do with their autonomy and they should be protected in their right to do what they want to do with their autonomy

There is literally no upside though

It’s such a pessimistic view on this.

The argument I’ve heard from my parents is why should I pay for public healthcare when I can afford my own private healthcare.

Which is so incredibly tone deaf

It’s in his financial disclosures and it is literally a crime to lie in those. Why would he lie?

I’ve owned two Teslas and have previously raved about them to colleagues. My current Y is my last Tesla.

I hate how the bare minimum nowadays is news.

Bashear would be perfect given JD Vance’s “I’m from Kentucky” narrative (he’s not).

Actually insane we’ve just moved on from that

While I would have loved this you need the whitest, most middling guy in history to sway the middle as VP pick. Buttigieg would be hilarious but probably not a winner. He’s too coastal elite.

JerryrigEverything?

Eh progress is a bus ride not an Uber. I’d rather a centrist than a fascist.
