You’re right, it’s not their responsibility.

The software would still be better if it had this feature, or at least some kind of warning or notification to alert users of the problem before they upgrade.

And we already have physical connections, even in rural America.

Can you tell me more about this? Is it true that government grants and subsidies were given out to specifically expand fiber to rural America?

Who’s going to pay for it?

Ok.

What about everyone else?

I have a lenovo, and while the software side seems to be good, the hardware side is not.

They clearly don’t give a shit about hinges and use the cheapest, thinnest plastic they can source.

It’s fucking stupid and should be illegal, but our representatives don’t represent us.

Nah. My instance was having issues for some reason.

We already have physical lines.

Businesses and governments aren’t going to invest in digging and laying down more cables to give people in rural America access to fiber. They’re already reluctant to do it for major cities.

Remember how Elon Musk conned Vegas out of millions with the hyperloop.

Satellite internet is not the future; it’s cell internet.

Does he have to work with the wealthy to raise their taxes?

What about putting caps on rent?

Seems like he could do both of these without any backing from wealthy people.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratchet_effect

The ratchet effect is a concept in sociology and economics illustrating the difficulty with reversing a course of action once a specific thing has occurred, analogous with the mechanical ratchet that allows movement in one direction and seizes or tightens in the opposite.

Republicans push us in one direction, weak/complacent democrats don’t fight back.

It’s part of the two-pronged strategy, and why anyone who supports establishment democrats is tacitly supporting republican policies.

We really needed Bernie in 2016, but it shows where liberals’ priorities lie. They become conservative as soon as their wealth is threatened.

There’s another side to this.

This means there’s a lot of programmers who are available to work on other things. It’s an opportunity for businesses to start and new programs to be made.

Kiss the ring.

To counter everyone saying “they do,” could you be referring to more high-profile cases?

Trump was shot at, but not killed. Would’ve made history if he was.

The US doesn’t have political assassinations on the level of say, Mexico, but they are frequent enough for someone to be able to point to them still happening. Usually it’s about some congressperson that we’ve never heard of.

I’m not sure if there’s greater protection based on the popularity of politicians. It would make sense if someone like AOC gets more protection than, well, someone we haven’t heard of.

Very very bad.

I thought Hillary would win the 2016 election.

It’s up to you whether or not it’s important. I see your point on whether or not it’s possible, and I’m inclined to agree with you.

I’m glad that pretty much all of the artists I enjoy didn’t do anything like drug and rape women or come out in favor of oppressive nonsense (as far as we know.)

It doesn’t surprise me that the businessmen posing as artists routinely end up being pieces of shit. It’s always good for a laugh when the morons who liked their art find out for themselves.

I dunno about brita specifically, but my walmart water filter has served me well throughout the years.

Back when I moved in to a friend’s house and started drinking his tap water, I would get sick all the time. I knew it was the water, I could feel it. Every time I drank it, it tasted weird, metallic, and I could tell I was poisoning myself.

Ever since I started filtering it, I stopped getting sick. Haven’t looked back and have been drinking walmart-filtered tap water ever since.

Haven’t been sick in years, either.

Food.

That’s honestly all my money goes towards these days.

And utilities.
