I'm not really sure what this has to do with Uber. If you're talking about taxi regulations, there are some downsides but there are also upsides.. and society has already determined the upsides we get from the regulations are worth the downsides. So keeping Uber out may persist some empires, but there is a reason why the structure exists in which people have built those empires. The only way we will get better cohesion as a society is to better enforce the regulations that we come up with, not allow companies to ignore them. The only soapbox society has collectively are governments and the laws that they create. Your suspicion may be correct, that we can no longer trust government to represent our interests. If that is the case, then we really have nowhere else to turn as individuals. Capitalism only looks out for profitable companies, which are about the exact opposite of what is good for a nation. This takes me back to my original comment, the only solution is to move to a country with a government that does protect your interests.
In a video only facebook, how will people comment back on the videos? With other videos? I don't get it. Who is going to want to go through the work of making an entire video for a five word comment? Even if people make them, no one will read them.
I don't know who 'they' you refer to. Maybe someone wants to take rifles away, but there has to be a workable solution. Just let me say a couple things. I've never really understood using a weapon that vastly tips the scales in the hunter's favor. Yeah you can make the case that you want to kill an animal not just mame it but at a certain point it's just not sporting. I mean, why not tie the animals down already. Also I have started to wonder why I am being targeted. I used to be able to text while I was driving but it is now against the law. I know people who have received tickets for texting while driving. I guess we're all targets in a way. It's a case of how useful the activity really is versus the people that could be saved. Hard to believe a hobby could be worth the deaths of hundreds of people a year, conservatively speaking. CNN just ran an article about how the US has more mass shootings per capita than any other country. I guess some people value the quality of their life over other people having theirs.
No one is saying control will make these attacks impossible. What it does is make it easier to close the holes to prevent it from happening again. I hope France has learned some things from their attack.
Ok that's cool.. but you can't really compare a Tesla to a loaded truck, two totally different kinds of work. Passenger car brakes for regular ICEs don't normally fail either but it is a very real danger for large trucks. But if you say regens can better handle the abuse without breaking down then I won't disagree.
Trucks brakes fail all the time in the mountains, where 'run away lanes' are still common. These regen brakes have better be bulletproof for these trucks to be safe. They sound fairly complicated, but maybe they aren't.
You really need to get over yourself. Can Uber alone kill society? No. But a society cannot be made up of Ubers. Anyway obviously it doesn't matter what I say, America is on it's way down and no one will be interested in fixing it because it will take some sort of sacrifice. If there was a draft today, people like you would be dodging it, because you have no interest in inconveniencing yourself for the sake of your country or doing what it takes to change anything. You have come to feel entitled to the things that you have that others sacrifices have brought you and aren't willing to do anything on your own to keep it.
You know what.. third reply, because 'the forest' to me really isn't utopia. The forest is a society that isn't breaking down around us. That's what the forest is.
That reply was to the wrong conversation.. 'The forest' is essentially a society that doesn't turn its back on the weakest members of it, ever. I'm not saying it is possible, all I ever said was that capitalism definitely wasn't it. Unfortunately people like you keep it from being possible. You're way too self interested to be a part of anything bigger then yourself.
'The forest' is a society that is capable of protecting itself from these attacks. Unfortunately people like you will forever subject the US to these attacks because you're too worried about your individual protection to do what really needs to be done.
Ok, so if you believe in everyone giving up privacy then go fight for it. When you win, I will give it up as long as everyone else does. I'm not sure why you don't get off this 'target' word. That implies that I want to harm gun owners in some way, which is not the case.
So what about the people who don't give money? When do they get their say? They're allowed to abstain from the vote by not participating in it but they aren't really ever allowed to vote against it. Under capitalism, a company can easily be supported by a minority who pays for it; so we know it is good for that minority, but if the majority don't pay for it and it still runs then it says nothing about whether all people find it good that it exists.

I would have modded you up if you weren't maxed already.
I subscribed to the Wall Street Journal once. It didn't work.
That begs the question.... Exactly how many such videos will Facebook end up storing?
They're getting back together for their 50th you know. They're still relevant!

There is a reason why video calling has not caught on, despite every smartphone out there having the capability.
Also, I probably don't want to see you right now. I can tell you that you certainly don't want to see me. Maybe once I put on pants.

If there is a law against it they are no longer innocent. It is not up to you or me to decide, it is up to all people of America.

All he has to do is modify his app to remind you to breathe.. and then present an image of a naked woman.
Then sit back and profit.
Cool. I'm going to make an application called 'Avoid Death' that reminds you to breathe. Maybe in VR this time.

Sure I agree, but no one is talking about imprisoning hunters either.

Listen, I get it.. you have lost faith in the US. I don't blame you. If I was you I would move. Who wants to live in a country they don't trust.

He may have tried, but if there was more control over guns it would have been harder to do without getting caught.
Who the heck are these people protecting themselves from that they need an assault rifle?
