Knobs are more expensive than a touch screen

What do you mean be rise up? What is the actual action you are calling for?

[–] DrZoidbergYes@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (7 children)

So what is your alternative? Don't choose the lesser evil and accept the greater evil? What rising up are you doing?

It's not really that contrary, most people don't actually become more conservative as they age. It's not quite a myth but very much over stated. Political orientations over the course of the life span are very stable. https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1113&context=poliscifacpub

You are conflating Zionists and Jews. Fuck all the murderous Israelis. Most people don't care if they are Jewish or not.

What are you talking about with "indigenous to". Israel is a colony. It was created through the removal of the indigenous people.

The US healthcare system is a victim of a lack of government regulation. An essential service cannot be effectively be privatised because no matter how ineffective or expensive people have no choice but to use it. Why do you think every EU country has a higher life expectancy than the US? Could it be an effective government...

You still haven't clarified what you meant by "taught" in your previous comment, you still haven't clarified what the issue is with the very clear breakdown of government spending.

Libertarianism is an utterly stupid belief. It doesn't stand up to the most basic critical examination. You don't respond with any facts because you can't.

If you are worried about coming out swinging with insults try countering that with actually addressing questions. I know you won't.

This is such an idiotic take. First of all almost no one is paying 40% Do you not understand marginal tax rates? A single person in NY earning 100k has an effective rate of 31%. They would have to be earning at least 350k to hit 40%.

Government provision is the only efficient way to allocate common goods. You only see real inefficiency when a common good is privatised. Look at the absolute shit show that is the US health care system.

Social supports are there to help the person that can't pay for it. Do you not understand that or do you really lack empathy that much?

Please clarify what you mean by "taught". I'm genuinely interested to see if you have an real complaints.

47,884 individual spending breakdown I linked to (if you even bothered to download the file) and your response is there are some "other" classification in there and I don't agree with that... If you are capable of any sell reflection take a good hard look at yourself. You really need to reassess your worldview.

A flat tax less than the current level? So the consolation of wealth, no social supports, restriction of education to those who are descendants of the wealthy, and degraded public service.

Transparency as accountability are 100% how it should be. I believe you are American so are you asking for this? https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/datasets/monthly-treasury-statement/outlays-of-the-u-s-government

So you do want government, or do you want a system where every single road is tolled? How would this work? Do you want a tracker in your car that monitors how far you drive so you can be billed appropriately or toll boths every mile? Are you off the opinion that would somehow be more efficient?

There isn't an official pre build app. The one you get might be fine, but you can't be sure...
