Seizing all the income from the rich won't solve it, either. Surprise! It would net an additional $500 billion a year...if they all continued to work for $0 a year.
To pay for expensive goodies for all, all must be taxed. Now we're back in the 53% argument territory...third base! -- Lou Costello
I see an ad for TV+Internet for $35 and when all of the fees and taxes are added in it comes out to more like $80. Very deceptive advertising practices. In some cases, its hard to get out of them what the actual fees and taxes will be. Then, probably the make it so the first bill comes only after the 30 day gaurantee is up. There is nothing worth watching on TV anyway (and really even on NetFlix). Much is designed for the lowest common denominator, you can feel your IQ dropping just being exposed to it. Much of the news, especially CNN, is complete disinformation propoganda and lies to turn people into America hating nutjobs. I don't watch TV, and its great.
Tbh many of these fees are to compensate for regulations you, dear voter, feel are important.
Like taxes at the store, get mad at yourself, not the store.
When Putin started taking over, the first thing he did was gain control over the TV news stations. He brought in soulless western bastards to manage them.
Setting default program associations is something that's been in Windows for 20-something years
This, btw, was the single biggest wow factor for Macs for PC people -- how in god's name does the OS know which program to open for a given file?
Wow that was neat when it appeared on PCs! People forget, or more and more simply weren't born yet.
As for why it's broken, probably not enough testing on their virtualization of all you do into their cloud, scannable by them for advertising, and reporting to the government, because of obscure permissions you click tbrougb on page 127 of their licensing.
That's right, hanging's too good for them. They should be forced to attend a Barbara Streisand concert and watch Lena Dunham TV shows every waking hour for a month. Then write an dissertation on the profound family dynamics of the Kardashians and their effect on society. If it doesn't pass muster, send them to China to learn social responsibility.
He's nothing but a low-down, double-dealing, backstabbing, larcenous perverted worm! Hanging's too good for him. Burning's too good for him! He should be torn into little bitsy pieces and buried alive! Hanover Fiste
Wait so Stallman wants privacy, but also wants the State to be able to investigate crimes? That sounds suspiciously like "privacy for my use case and noone else's". Furthermore, being able to send money anonymously STILL allows money laundering: "Yeah I sent that money to my restaurant chain, employees paid in cash. Why no I don't own any banks in the Caribbean, why do you ask?"
China, Russia, etc. show why letting government have access to your recorded transactions is a abusive aspect of a panopticon.
Anything our whining law enforcement claims to need for investigations is immediately abused by dictatorship to maintain its power.
Much of our constitution revolves around limiting or forbidding government from doing certain things, including surveillance.
To put it bluntly: money laundering is an evanescent problem for The People compared to loss of freedom, which intrusive surveillance engenders.
It is reasonable to discuss technological solutions that may cost tracking money if it buys stopping dictatorship from having yet another, and massive, microscope to study all you do, so they may remain in power.
The Boot stepping on a human face...forever...may be created by western valuations that the FBI getting more notches on its belt is more important than the freedom of billions around the world without a 4th amendment.
Someone should do a movie about this new kind of journalism in service to companies and political factions. If you do it well, some might think it the greatest movie of all time.
My usual warning: be careful with amelioration efforts lest you accidentally induce another ice age, which will kill billions in a few years, not cause mild difficulties moving in from the coasts over a century.
Ice ages can come on in a year or two -- you just nee enough snow and cool temps so the snow pack doesn't melt in summer one year.
No. Telemarketers serve only to put ideas into your mind. These ideas are not helpful to you, and sometimes are designed to promote fear in the minds of the elderly.
Even in instances where they are, as you point out - "just doing their job" - it's still no different than going around to people's driveways, and yelling at their house.
Which they have a constitutional right to do, sans fence and sign, as the front of your house is recognized historically as the official approach spot for people to come talk to you.
This is why anti-littering laws can't apply to unsolicited newspapers tossed on your porch.
Someone should write a statement, an organizing document if you will, to list powers the government has, that constitutes it, you might say, and specifically, disallow the King from taking things without paying for it a fair trade value.

I saw a driver pick up an Uber Eats delivery at a take out, then get into his pretty green Lyft car to go deliver it.

Split government is the winner here if slowing spending is your goal.

Ditto -- but replace "children" with "wife".
I'll be happy to take your wife off your hands for a couple of hours.
