@Josh_Manning@factpostnews We need to do both, meaningfully cut spending and stop with the constant push for tax cuts.
Trying to cut social security is political suicide though. Healthcare is a little bit of a softer target, but still a tough sell.
@Josh_Manning@factpostnews I don’t necessarily think taxing the billionaires is the answer, but this is a terrible argument. Over time you could raise more with a tax than you could by confiscating their current net worth in one go.
@texasrunnerDFW I live with my parents and pay below market rent, but without my rent they would likely struggle to afford their bills. So I’m not really sure who’s supporting who there.
@RationallyRite@Lucid_Druid@ogisadaDMA@riotgames Not the same thing at all. Selling yourself is not legal to begin with. There’s nothing illegal about selling software with a warning that it is not compatible with certain hardware and may cause damage.
@RationallyRite@Lucid_Druid@ogisadaDMA@riotgames If TOS says ‘don’t run this software with this other kind of device installed it will cause problems’ and you do it anyway that’s on you, not them.
@ADunaway3000@RyoGrattius@sysstary7556 A lot of people want to share their media with friends and family who are not technical and want to watch on a smart tv, which makes Tailscale not really viable for a lot of users.
@HowardRoark90@MonsieurBobo@puppyeh1 Starlink is an amazing product. Kind of interesting the ARPU seems to be dropping pretty fast though, but I guess that is offset by sheer subscriber growth.
@HowardRoark90@MonsieurBobo@puppyeh1 I’m not a SpaceX doomer, I’m sure they will do fine, but everything on that list is pure fantasy for the foreseeable future.
@derrickgott007 They obviously want people on the subscription, but there has always been expensive software. Photoshop was like $1,000 before they stopped even offering a perpetual license.
@ajfonthemove@NH_Ancap@BuddyBosse@RepKeithAmmon This seems needlessly complicated. What does blockchain improve about tolls? And then there is all the ongoing compute cost of processing the images. Transponders are an efficient system.
@collin_ruth89@StayAtHomeDad0 My town has a moratorium on new gas installs and service increases due to “pipeline capacity” in the area. They apparently cannot get enough gas into the area.
@HatePoliticsUSA@giveupitscrazy@ayeejuju I have no idea. I just don’t see it as that different than asking for money for concert tickets or a trip. Irresponsible? Probably. Indicative of a gambling problem? Not necessarily.
@HatePoliticsUSA@giveupitscrazy@ayeejuju I wouldn’t jump to that conclusion, maybe that’s just what she likes to do for entertainment. Only a problem if she cant control it.
@Hereward99@mattyglesias There are a lot of hypocrites out there but that doesn’t mean real textualists don’t exist. The constitution disagrees with my policy preferences in several places, but I don’t deny what it says.
