This is a prime example of why capitalism is good. If Reddit was state owned or equivalent with regulatory capture, then nothing could be done about it. Doesn’t matter how bad it is. Like the DMV. Now since Reddit is determined to shoot i

Get FL-41 glasses or covers. They are drastically better than blue light glasses. At one point if around phosphorescent, lights, I would get a severe headache in 10 minutes without anything. 20 minutes with bow light glasses, about 4 hours

Drastically better than before. All sorts of view points, far less bots just spamming each other. People trying to sell illegal images are drastically reduced or gone. Before it was just an echo chamber of far left talking points. Now all

Yep. Was involved in medical billing software. Health companies do everything they can to “upgrade” billing to more expensive codes. Lots of AI and such. Especially if it’s government funded.

Imagine if banks didn’t have to worry about if you could afford to pay the loan or not. Every loan would be approved. House prices would sky rocket. This sounds a lot like 2008 housing crash, among others.

Proper solution is government to stop guaranteeing the loans and to allow people to put them in bankruptcy. Prices will collapse to what people are willing to pay in real time, or save up for.

It’s also acceptable for a kid to lean to read a book. She’s behind on reading and comprehension. Getting the summary isn’t helping to solve that.

Surely it’s that. And not the fact that Facebook routinely censors anything makes their preferred president look bad.

Same reason counties fall to communism. Free speech and open debate get in the way of bureaucrats trying to control peoples lives. Example. There is a highly experimental vaccine, which is really gene therapy. People are questioning it.
