    It is worse than that.
    Walmart actually teaches its employees how to file for these benefits and markets these programs to them actively.

    Why?

    It would be simple to only allow liability up to the cost of the software. That would provide incentive to commercial folks to fix their software and not overly burdon FOSS software.

  3. Why not just give our tax dollars away? on The Case For a Government Bug Bounty Program · · Score: 2

    Instead of this why not just give our tax dollars away to big vendors?

    A simple tax giveaway would be cheaper to administer and have the same end result.

    Why in the world is this even an option?

    If you are a homosexual and voting for republicans I can only say "I am Disappoint". Many of them believe you are sort of evil creature and would have you put to death if they could. The rest will claim they love you but hate what you do, which really means what you are.

    While I am no fan of the democrats at least they don't have it as a party plank to deny you your civil rights.

    An LGBTQ person voting for Republicans in 2013 would be like an African American voting for George Wallace in 1962.

    I commend your efforts to educate, but I must warn you that you will not have much success. Many of these folks simply lack the education to understand what you are saying. I think this is not an accident either, American education and media seems to be designed to generate this outcome.

    1. Go look at the TANF numbers yourself.

    2. Section 8. Shelter is a basic human right. Families are generally speaking more secure than in decades past. The divorce rate is way down compared to the 90s.

    3. Denying the poor care will not fix that.

    You can look at the numbers for TANF and add in the folks moved to disability to get these numbers. That last thing is done to make the feds pay for them instead of the state.

    47% vastly over states the issue, but it is a pretty funny quote. While I might not like our current president, at least we dodged a hell of a bullet.

    Thats a nice straw man you have there. I guess that is easier than a real argument.

    Also I commend the way you managed to work bigotry into a totally unrelated discussion. Would you care to tell us how you feel about other minority groups?

    I do donate money to private charity it simply is not the correct method to deal with this issue though. I have no interest in this silly taxes are violence shtick. Providing for the poor is a function of government. Far more so than waging foreign wars or protecting other nations who do not pay us taxes.

    Charities are not inherently any more or less prone to corruption than government efforts. Many of them are simply morally repugnant to me as well. I will not donate to a great many because they either attempt to force religion onto recipients of their charity or have other discriminatory practices. I will donate to religious charities provided they do not do either of those things.

    I agree, a system that has working folks who cannot afford to live without government assistance is incredibly wrong.

    This fellow is just one of those embarrassed millionaires. He hopes one day to be a plutocrat, so he can't dare oppose that system.

    Be careful you will scare the slashdot "libertarians", they will never know that this was the original form of libertarianism. If you really want to make their heads explode though you should have claimed to be an anarcho-communist.

    You want your fellow countrymen to vote for the liberty to starve? For the liberty to not be able to afford housing? For the liberty to not afford medical care?

    You need help.

    Yeah, it seems nearly all Americans think of themselves merely as temporarily embarrassed millionaires. Which leads to stupidity like people voting for politicians that promise to cut the taxes of the rich and end the programs that the voter needs to eat.

    I have friends with no cell phones, and plenty with no automobiles. The last one depends highly on the public transit situation in your area though.

    I would say where I live both are very convenient but not essential. When not on call I often disable the cellular connection of my phone. You should try it some time.
