We're probably going to be seeing articles like this coming from the US in a few years. Probably.

Take notes

I feel you... but without "growth", how will all these children get job, and how will we get promotions?

Not every county, city, or location has this rule.

I feel you, but also, they'll have less money too. Some of them will lose jobs and go hungry in the interim, and I'm not going to try to argue where the "appropriate" starvation balance is. But it -will- happen.

No matter how you slice it, it simply ends in America's living with a "lowered" quality of life. The reason we buy things from overseas is because it was cheaper and nobody wanted to pay for the expensive American version. Even the current high-end American products we have will find themselves struggling when people have to pick and choose what they can afford going forward.

I'm also a little indifferent about the whole thing. I just think its going to be hilarious if it goes down and people end up struggling even more after voting Trump. I'll have my schadenfreude-popcorn ready constantly to munch on over the next four years.

Why are you assuming my gender?

I can tell you're just going to need some months or years to think it over.

Almost sounds like it's fine when people choose, but is a problem when people are forced. Odd

Humans also do not die when they are shackled and locked in a dark room for years or decades, as long as you feed them. How is you argument sounding now?

Everything is on a scale. The pollution control equipment only trades air pollution for increased throughout in landfills, increased industrial emissions to the air, water, and land by necessitating more frequent replacements, as well as more funds in the pockets of capitalists. Pick your poison because you're never going to come away squeaky clean.

I'd argue that if we can't protect the little guy from the billionaires, then the race has no business continuing on into space.

Exactly. They're just showing you to your face instead of voting "behind your back". I appreciate the honesty

Wat

Shouldn't be illegal or dangerous to simply knock on someone's door, tbh

I'm personally totally cool accepting that the majority of my countrymates are selfish pieces of shit. It totally fits with own experiences and the things I've seen on the news. I no longer have to wonder. Also probably true for most of the rest of the world, I dunno

Cops can't even tell the difference between a cellphone and a gun

At some point, there was this shift where the technology was no longer being designed to benefit the user, but to benefit the creator. The problem is that the creators are now trillion-dollar multi-national organizations who also lobby against my wellbeing and safety in areas of rulemaking and regulation. So now I am fine foregoing the "technology" whenever I can.

Great

You're just being so needlessly confrontational. I hope you're not trying to convince people or change their minds, because all you're doing is causing people to be less receptive of your ideas.

For reals. This is the browser equivalent of being concerned that your car only has 14-way adjustable seats instead of 16, or whatever the marketing team dreamed up last year.
