If your solution is to give more handouts that's not actually fixing the problem, you're just making people even more dependent on government to survive.
There are functional public translation systems in most medium sized cities and larger. Its just that they suck absolute balls compared to the freedom of owning a car.
Probably trying to cash in on some sweet intelligence agency and law enforcement funding for helping the government bypass the 4th Amendment by supplying the government with your data.
Government enforced lockdowns disrupted production of various goods and destroyed global supply lines by preventing people from working. Prices rose because of market volatility and scarcity, oh, and massive amounts of money printing.
Most of the stuff I was looking for couldn't even be found on store shelves. Before online shopping and streaming, if it wasn't the latest release or biggest hit, you probably wouldn't be able to find it locally. You'd waste time browsing up and down aisles of junk only to leave disappointed, then try again at another store, hoping that by some miracle they'd have it.
Then I discovered that terabytes upon terabytes of content was available, nearly instantly and conveniently, on the internet. All you had to do was click a few buttons and you had what you wanted. That was about 25+ years ago, and the recording industry still has not adapted to offer a service that even comes close to what was available back then.
Wait... There are people that still trust government run institutions to educate their kids?
The public school system must be worse than I thought, or people are just unwilling to accept that public schools exist to turn our children into cannon fodder for corporations.
