The soft bigotry of low expectations.

Every sensible person is over the handwringing and paranoia. None of the climate predictions have come true, and neither will this.

I get sweeping it for bugs. Due diligence, fine. But the rest of those ridiculous features and upgrades that have never been necessary for any world leader ever? Why are we acting like that is a standard?

Since most people paint pictures poorly, using a paint brush damages your professional reputation.

Fools and their money are soon parted. Fortunately, outside of wasteful government spending, few people are buying into this scheme.

The most important thing would could do to promote affordable housing, building of smaller and cheaper homes, and to make every worker's dollar go further is to end real estate/property taxes. Builders, banks, utilities, government, etc. have made their fortunes over the last 70 years by forcing houses to get larger and larger.

Bigger houses cost more to build, more to buy, more to heat and cool, suffer higher tax bills, and take more money to furnish and maintain. In 1950, the average home size was just under 1,000 square feet. Today, it's 2 to 2.5 times that.

It's such an obvious conflict of interest. Government places a value on homes, which it can raise whenever it wants, and decides how much you have to pay every year to prevent your home being taken away from you. Government also decides who is allowed to build houses, where the houses can be built, what size the houses have to be, how small the space between them has to be, where you can borrow money from to buy these houses, etc.

Its self-interested involvement in every aspect of home ownership, and its greed in respect to growing its power to take more and more of your money - that must be ended immediately.

What difference does shopping local really make when all of the products in the stores come from China?

No, the things costing so much is why there's piracy.

The problem is regularly using a government verification system. Why the fuck are they doing that?

Base spec Apple Silicon devices don't come with enough storage to hold both MacOS and Windows, so you'll never have to worry about Windows running slowly.

You want to pay taxes on Vbucks?

The Apple silicon devices are pretty great. The price point is crazy on the adequately-spec'd examples, but it's tough to beat the keyboard, battery life, or the performance.

Almost. It's also available on the 15 Pro/Pro Max.

SteamOS and Bazzite will continue to grow. No longer needing to also maintain a Windows device or installation will allow a lot more people to full switch to Linux.

That is a useless comparison when covid numbers didn't bother to discern the difference between died with and died from.
