Is marriage and divorce just a preference? Like: I shouldn't have bought the blue car, I'll sell it and save up for the red car? That's what this post feels like. Where is the education and personal growth? Where is the judge

When I think of a "free game", I think of shareware. In what era did "free game" mean really free?

Interesting point. If deciding whether to advocate for change or not, and you don't see much evidence that change actually happens (and/or works), that would certianly bias someone toward conservatism.

A better word than "dismal" might be "stagnant". Assuming you think we are better off today than 1000 years ago, it seems that calibrating to perfect conservatism is not the right approach. At the same time, that's

I think you mean state-run, right? Nationalized would mean managed by Congress, which is unlikely to be an improvement.

It looks like Florida is two shades "better" than California in the diagram, which would put the total Florida death rate as better than California. That would be interesting because Florida did almost no lockdown. How could that

An interesting point, but there's a difference between "valued at $2B" and "delivered a profit in a bank account". It takes a lot of trust to bridge that gap.

Was I downvoted because (a) the laptop doesn't exist, (b) the laptop wasn't Hunter Biden's, or (c) it didn't contain any information that might be interesting to a voter in 2020?

The suspension happened right in the middle of an election. Comparing that valuable reporting time to now is ridiculous.

Local variance in how strictly the law is applied is expected. I don't really see that as violating equal protection.

Perhaps the CDC did too much that was ineffective or counterproductive and too little that was effective. It's possible for both sides to be right, and not terribly far-fetched, honestly.

That's false, or at least a major distortion. Social Security is about $1T, Medicare+Medicaid is about $1T, Defense is about $0.7T. (FY 2019). The money IS going toward health, services, etc. It's just not widely reported that way

I'm not convinced that perfect transparency is a general fix. People will be more reserved when communications move onto a more transparent medium, and the real decisions will be discussed and made somewhere else.

When paternalistic policies are directed at particular demographics, it is kinda disturbing. I mean, sure, there's a reason. But there always is, and it makes me wonder if a line is being crossed here that will set a bad precedent.

A lot of the time I feel like health food is really just a way for manufacturers to cheap out and then sell something at a premium. Margarine is vegan, but it was always just marketed as "cheap". Discerning or well-to-do consumers

"Why would a company actively hide from their target market?" Much cheaper to make. Maybe their target market is "people who buy it by accident and throw it away".
