MAiD is cheaper for the government and there's no real incentive to spend the extra money on keeping people around.

Income tax for non-traditional employment is basically unheard of, so this would be effectively tax free for me.

Taxation creates its own set of perverse incentives, I suggest we use a money pit: https://www.theonion.com/in-the-know-should-the-government-s...

My understanding is that a PAC can pay for advertising and campaign costs but I'm suggesting literally just giving it to them, straight to their bank account.

I've wondered a lot about a hypothetical scenario where people organize and crowdfund a pool of money with the intent of disbursing it to anyone who votes for the legislation they want. For example, vote to codify Roe and you can get a

The comment you're replying to was making a joke about the claim that a Raspberry Pi is "easy to obtain", which has not been the case in a long time due to shortages.

Reading stuff like this just short circuits my brain because I can't even fathom such a society existing. Yet, it clearly does.

But it could save more lives if spent differently.

Would the Democratic People's Republic of Sweden be willing to drop that kind of dole on a single patient? It seems wasteful to me.

In my corner of the world, "defund the police" actually means "abolish the police".

by nisegami 4y ago
Even if the larger idea of luxury beliefs is true, the choice of "defund the police" as one is really bizarre to me. No one benefits more from the existence of the police than those who would harbor these luxury beliefs.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that switching to Linux in late 2021 has since provided me with a meaningful amount of peace in my life that I don't think I would have experienced if I were still using Windows.

>The user story for logging in to a site on Windows with an iOS passkey is to scan a QR code with your phone, which sounds obnoxious. I've found this flow rather acceptable actually. I usually use it for Discord/Steam.

He did say it will be scaled by PPP by region, which is interesting. Curious to see how that will play out, if taken literally I should be paying like $3 USD which seems fine to me but is still out of reach of most of my country for logisti

This seems insane to me. If I were in this situation, I would simply not use Teams if I can't log into it. The only way to get situations like this resolved is for the pain to be felt by someone with the power to change it. Absorbing t
