My goodness what an insulting thing to say about the man

Do you know what came immediately after Nixon's impeachment?

Fox news. The right wing in the US could never do what Nixon did because they'll get hung in the media machine designed to protect them (and keep them in lockstep)

I remember getting an interview question wrong when I said "yeah a get is supposed to just respond with data but you're writing it, you can make it do whatever you want"

His point was that it isn't the trees "natural" placement? That's kind of the theme of the post?

Normally, I'd just flame you for this.

There's a baseline level of consumption required to survive. Meaning everyone eats, rents, drives to work, buys an entertainment system. Paying for what you consume is a regressive way of generating tax revenue as the tax is raised from the poor masses.

Progressive taxation exists because people with more income have more disposable income. When you tax a poor working single mother of three and she must choose between buying food or paying tax, you will get riots eventually. When you tax a millionaire who's choice is buying a sports car or paying tax, riots don't usually happen.

It's the luck based nature. The addiction is because you have inconsistent results despite consistent inputs. Humans like to learn, problem solve and pattern seek. Luck based reward systems subvert that but random games tease that part of our brains that it is possible to figure out the pattern if we just do a few more experiments with inputs.

It's really odd that Bloomberg somehow reports that businesses abusing liability and bankruptcy laws is good, actually.

This "person" in the same comment claims property damage to small business is such a tragedy and the death penalty should be used for petty crime.

I don't think their "morals" are worth understanding in the slightest.

These statements display a fundamental ignorance of morality, the role of criminal justice systems, research, the role of the state, the real current systems in place. To even begin a conversation with this person would require several sources demonstrating how their premises are all wrong and through experience this person will not engage in any of these sources.

I'd like to pick up some freelance side work, do you have any recommendations? Websites to use etc? The few I've found for gig work has abysmally paying jobs for what I do.

Understanding that unbiased reporting is a farce requires some understanding of media literacy and in my experience most people do not have that literacy nor a desire to learn about it. So the caveat is unfortunately necessary.

I don't think that's clear at all.

Working age adults work from their early 20s to their 60s and end of life care does not typically last that long.
