I agree 100% with your world view but downvoted you due to the unnecessary hostility. That kind of rhetoric is not debate or discussion, it is ring-fighting theatrics to get the crowd cheering for you.

RCP shows Trump's approval level has been below Obama's except for one period of about 4 months at the end of 2019, where they about tracked each other. Trump's disapproval level has consistently been 5-10% above Obama's

You were flagged because your post was inflammatory and content free. Plenty of peiple are expressing the same sort of view, but with actual arguments rather than simple minded sloganeering. And I'm not sure what you mean about free sp

I wanted to read this, but an ad popped up over the screen which I couldn't find a way to dismiss. Even clicking the ad's call to action just opened another window, leaving the full overlay in place. I might remember to try again

You're almost certainly trolling, but rest assured everybody does not want to go to the US, especially those from other prosperous nations. There are plenty of places just as bad as the US in terms of violence and public disenfranchise

Strang in general, and these videos in particular, are strongly recommended every time self-teaching linear algebra comes up here. In 13 years on hacker news I think this is the first negative thing about Strang I have read. Can you expand

In the case of Google we have a supertanker full of anecdotes of them ignoring customers with problems. In the case of Stripe we have no evidence their customer service is non existent outside social media flareups. To the contrary,they see

Maybe their thought is to make the mule role seem much more risky to Canadians. If the head org has to recruit from a smaller pool of people, or gangs, that could impact operations. Pure speculation, maybe most mules are already from gangs,

From your flagged comment, you're interpreting the downvotes as some sort of reactionary resistance to your free thinking rebellion against conformity. In reality I think it was because you gave a hostile, pompous response to an honest

I’m pretty sure the proposal is actually for on-the-spot extra-judicial executions of anybody who even criticizes the idea. Or maybe it’s just a call for a bit of regulation, I dunno.
