Same reason people have hobbies... they like doing things.

LOL your hobbies are not work...

That people often choose to work more to afford more stuff is utterly uncontroversial.

No. It isn't. Some people? Sure. Many people already live off of welfare and already choose not to work.

Because of troglodytes like yourself.

The personal attacks are uncalled for...

Here I thought you were asking in good faith.

And now you think I'm not? Why? Because I didn't roll over and agree with everything you said?

people tend to want more than just the basics, and deciding to work provides additional income for luxuries.

Doubt.

We need to decouple being able to live from employment.

Well it's a nice utopian thought but not realistic.

No, I don't know any of that.

Maybe you'd like to explain who and why people would choose to work when they entirely don't have to?

And yet you're expected to pay for UBI nonetheless...

"Us" the people who pay taxes and are hypothetically responsible for paying for UBI.

Wrong again. The company does not need to be licensed.

Reading comprehension, indeed "homie". Just re-posting quotes is not helping.

I've been watching Reddit and Twitter, nothing can surprise me anymore.

If you can't understand the difference between "extracting" and "exchanging", that's the type of thing only a dictionary can help you with, sorry.

Society has been hijacked to extract value

No it was formed to exchange value.

That would be wonderful but that's not what we're discussing.

Because most of us have our own problems and don't feel responsible for the lives of others.

Floatplane also does this.

Why have none of these big creators banded to put their weight behind one of the fediverse alternatives?

Most alternatives, federated or otherwise, are shit.

If you've ever used PeerTube its nearly impossible to find any content because for some reason it is not federated like every other ActivityPub software.

Guns bought from FFLs require a NICS background check that is stored in an ATF database

NICS checks are not stored. Or at least they're not supposed to be. The firearms info is collected on a form 4473 in paper and kept at the FFL where the firearm is purchased.

But the ATF has been caught several times collecting these records and digitizing them in an attempt to create a registry.

Guns with a serial number are generally also untraceable, since the serial number is not registered to anyone in most states.

Most States do not require any licensing to purchase or own a firearm.

This is not true. No one can legally buy them. You have to manufacture them yourself.

No one really knows. It's a made-up term. But generally it consists of 3D-printed and "80% lower" receivers made at home. Firearms you build yourself don't legally require serial numbers.

Similar to "assault weapons"
