I wouldn't worry about it. There's a lot more debt than there is money. If they were to take every single dollar in in tax and pay it to the debt there would be literally no money and still a shitload of debt. The whole thing is a scam to keep itself going. Just go with it.
Oh please, there a just as many studies saying second hand smoke is harmless. I'm not saying you should smoke around kids and blow smoke in their face all the time because you shouldn't, it's not good. People should be responsible in how they smoke but you aren't going to get cancer from walking past a smoker in the street or going to smoky places. My bottom line is places should be free to declare themselves a smoking or non smoking place rather than have it mandated from on high with the think of the children line attached. If literally everywhere decides to say no smoking then that's fair enough. Otherwise they might as well just ban smoking outright, but that's not going to happen. Worked really well for alcohol and that's a lot more harmful to the individual and to society but no one seems too bothered about that these days. Nope, smoking is todays bogeyman so hop on the bandwagon before it leaves without you to it's next target.
I hope your mom also enjoyed every dollar of taxpayer money it took for her end of life medical care as she sucked down those cigarettes.
Yes. This is exactly the point. Thank you for making it.
PS – I note that you are a foe of a friend and that you have a FIVE-digit/. ID #. None of that matters to me. You made the point that strikes to the heart of the ethical question about which this whole thread revolves. Again, thanks.
Again only considering what is taken out ignoring completely what is being put in.
I hope your mom also enjoyed every dollar of taxpayer money it took for her end of life medical care as she sucked down those cigarettes.
I hope you enjoy the benefits of all the tax money smokers put in when they buy their cigarettes. Which is a lot, how short would the government be if everyone stopped smoking overnight I wonder? The other thing to consider is smoking related diseases usually kill you pretty quick minimising the actual health care costs compared with drinkers or fatties that can require longer and more expensive periods of care and is just as much down to themselves as smokers.
Mine. Because I am partially paying the health care costs of the guy who died of emphysema.
And he's probably partially payed the health care costs of whatever you'll die from. Probably more than you too because of the massive tax on cigarettes.
I spent a year in Germany around 2000. It was impossible to enjoy any food, drink, or dance at all. Every place was choked with smoke, and most of them had no central air-exchange system, only a couple of tiny windows.
Bull shit of the highest order. There was nothing stopping placing declaring themselves non smoking and plenty did. See, before the nanny states started taking over and there was at least the illusion of freedoms. You had the choice to go places where smoking was allowed and where it wasn't. Now that choice has been taken away and you now have to put up with every smoker, smoking outside all the time, usually in the entrance way of where you want to go. So well done. The moaning non smokers brought this on themselves and you have no right to demand other people don't smoke regardless of your opinions on it.
Some idiot's driving 200 km/h down a residential street? Then get out of the way!
Junkies are dropping syringes all over the beach? Then don't go to the beach!
All the grocers in your city block are importing contaminated food? Then grow your own!
Arguments like that are always quite stupid, and as a fellow Slashdotter (despite your ACing), I hope you don't need further explanation as to why.
At least that's suggestions to do something about problems. Someones driving 200mph down the road? Just cross anyway, someone else will deal with it. Beach covered in needles? Just walk barefoot, they shouldn't be there anyway etc etc
On a fresh install on my laptop, I had only installed 2 3rd party apps. The search feature couldn't find either of them, even though they showed up in the menu. This is a similar, yet different bug to the limitation mentioned above. After days of trying various workarounds, including deleting the user account and creating a new one, the only "fix" was to reinstall the OS from scratch. Still don't know why.
I got two laptops with win 10, one is perfectly fine but the other one keeps saying about how the built in administrator account cant open this app for pretty much everything apart from 3rd party apps. I've tried adding new accounts, local accounts but it always says it. It's probably goping to need a fresh install but I just can't be bothered even looking up how let alone doing it. VLC works and that's pretty much all it does anyway.
I liked the Start menu is much more useful than whatever the hell I've got now is called, but that's what I've got on my machine, and if it is really my machine, than I get the choice to do what I want, how I want, when I want, and if I want.
Win 10 is almost worth it just to get the start menu back.
Did you just propose socialism as a solution to illegal immigration? Do we have to pay protection money to all the world's poor to keep them from breaking our laws and flooding into the country? How is that working out for Europe?
So your counter solution is to make the country so shit no one wants to immigrate, illegally or otherwise?
You forget, this isn't about bringing up standards. It's about 'removing barriers to trade' which all these pesky regulations and safety measures definitely are in the eyes of the corps that are being given the power. One such power is suing governments in private courts if the enact any regulation that impacts their trade. It's bad juju all around.
"Hello, user. Windows here. Listen, I really need to shut down to update myself. Would you like me to do that immediately? Or would you like to be reminded again in four hours?"
"Remind me again in four hours."
"Gotcha, see you in four hours."
[Ten minutes later.]
"Hello, user. Windows here. Listen, I really need to shut down to update myself. Would you like me to do that immediately? Or would you like to be reminded again in four hours?"
Mine's doing that at the mo, what happened to remind me tomorrow? Anyway it's a work pc and I have no admin so the updates fail to install anyway.
Who the fuck is PAYING these folks to sit and watch them...???
Same people that paying youtubers, fucking ads you idiot. the more people watch something (why people want to watch others playing is a different conversation) the more ads, the more ads the more money. Simple.

The U.S. government does not need more money.
You aren't concerned about the debt, I suppose?
I wouldn't worry about it. There's a lot more debt than there is money. If they were to take every single dollar in in tax and pay it to the debt there would be literally no money and still a shitload of debt. The whole thing is a scam to keep itself going. Just go with it.

That works the other way around too you know. By the way the exaggeration police are on their way.

Why should tobacco or any form of cigarette be legal at all? There are no redeeming benefits of smoking.
Ask yourself the same question about Alcohol.
How does this impact me or most other people in any significant way? I don't think it does.
About as much as anything else.

Barf out!
Just look at it. AC are mostly at 0 and logged in are lots of 2s. Your post is at 2 but I doubt it's been modded. This probably will be too.
Uncontrollable Windows updates aside.

Because she's really Judge Dredd

Have a look, although that will change the result.
