  I’m fairly certain they do not

  Genocide is clearly a winning strategy. Trump won. Ukraine is dying.

  They did nearly have a Fringe of them do it a few years back

  I’m hoping that supreme court is too tech deaf to even understand the implications this has on corps, and so that they don’t take this ruling back

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And nothing of value was lost⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do you think considering someone human is mutually exclusive with wishing death upon them/thinking it’s fine for them to die.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And nothing of value was lost⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, it does. Because when you don’t acknowledge someone, you start pretending they shouldn’t have any rights at all, and then you can fall victim, far more easily, when they scapegoat someone, or fall victim to that hatred being redirected to an invalid target

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And nothing of value was lost⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you incapable of fighting someone you consider human?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And nothing of value was lost⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Acknowledging and understanding they are human DOES NOT mean cowing down or bowing down to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That tells a lot about you that you ever grouped yourself with those people in the first place.

  Let’s maybe not include a straight up oligarchy corpo state like south korea in that statement. Better than the usa? Maybe, but they’d even give that a run for the money, and just barely win out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In New York City, Drivers Who Run Red Lights Get Tickets. E-Bike Riders Get Court Dates.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bikes going wrong way on a one way seems just straight up reasonable. In Chicago where I’m at they even have lanes on some one ways specifically for bikes to do that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stanford Professor: The idea that Stanford University owes its graduate students a "living wage" is preposterous⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s plenty of working class families that have and continue to put their children through college. If you select with respect to cost, it is especially not hard

  It’d still be a joke to fool anyways

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon does the shopping⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Plastic is the enemy. Not just single use plastics. But all unnecessary plastics. The micro plastics disrupt food chains. They also get into food. It’s not great. They get everywhere with no chance to decay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon does the shopping⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Meh. Plastic plates suck for other reasons… More and more plastic waste sucks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grandma is on her own⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Classic example of calling someone an idiot just because they disagree with you on something that’s primarily about subjective values.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grandma is on her own⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A hunting cabin is purely a luxury. There’s nothing authoritarian about having high taxes for luxuries, and no, blanket taxes on luxuries are not inherently authoritarian.

  Sure, it could unfairly impact people, but since in this situation there’s no needs, only luxuries, the balance of how increased housing supply fairly easily balances the scale.

  And no, the point of my original comment is to understand impact. Realize harms the law could create, and don’t do it blindly. But that’s just to understand what you’re putting on the scales.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grandma is on her own⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Progressive taxes are not authoritarian in nature holy shit man.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grandma is on her own⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Genuinely, I’m saying this to bring up that it’s an ill effect that will come about. I don’t especially think an exception clause is reasonable, I believe they will just be abused, and it’s simply better to accept some level of negative consequences for the benefits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grandma is on her own⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They can barely split it because they’re all broke af not because the house is expensive. The house and land are pretty cheap

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grandma is on her own⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, it shouldn’t hold up societal progress. But not being aware of how your policies actually affect people is just plain bad. I agree with progressive taxes on multi house ownership, but you also need to understand that will mean people who are less rich than you think losing them, it’s not just people that can afford them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grandma is on her own⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My extended family in Michigan keeps a hunting cabin that they split costs between 5 people on and can still barely make the mortage… Is that clearly able to afford more taxes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Groceries don’t really get more expensive, because the methods for producing food don’t really get less efficient over time; if anything, it’s more efficient. So there’s no real reason for them to become more expensive.

  There is reason though. Making them more expensive increases money in flow. Prices aren’t just based on supply

  … Are sewers private in your area? Must suck man

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s septic it’s whatever. Bigger issue if it’s not, then tax dollars are required to fix it, and it’s just wrecking infrastructure
