Generating badges has loopholes. (Trust me I’ve used them). And IDing every person can be a mission on itself. Pretty sure they will just start using biometrics in the next decade with or without your consent.

Buddy we’d still be listening to cds if pirating didn’t exist.

Stop-gap is restricting the driving to work schedule then. Everything else is optional and you can learn to work within that system. We try to put up industrial solutions to everything. Why not keep the laws cut and dry. This action = this consequence. You determine your actions you must accept x consequence. Or better yet jail time for 6 months then you will be fed and you will lose everything. There are options

He milks the government through other means such as crypto, llc’s, and overseas bribes “I mean deals”.

I think they shouldn’t be driving in the first place. Suspend DL for one year and move on.

Not judging anyone’s kinks but when there are so many major issues to solve this is what is being focused on? Maybe that’s the point

Elon has agreed to all demands and can’t wait for gigahitler to take the reigns. I swear there is no room for good guys in this is there.

Only a matter of time before you hear about missing shipping trucks being stolen. China is opening up more production, but I don’t see any relief coming soon.

As someone here with limited coding experience. I have built several custom applications that are too unique to be made by anyone. Now I can make several simple applications that do exactly what I need and want. It’s cut out hours of administrative work stuff I had to do. Do I share nope I gatekeep it at work. If only IT built these systems and databases to be easily used by us users.

Slippery slope. What about a novel about the main character being a serial killer. Is that where we start saying that's illegal as well?

Next democratic president should force them to be labeled as a public utility and regulated as such. For “National Security” reasons of course.

Then it would be lucrative to buy up land and sit on it to hold a monopoly on the competition. Can’t build or rent what you can’t buy.

It might not solve the problem but we also have other countries buying up homes for pension accounts. Take AU for example doing this. Should be illegal regardless of the size.

This is something I’ve been seeing for a while. As a teen that kept his 300 dollar paycheck in cash that money would last a very long time. Now I make a good 6 figures and was seeing my accounts spending way more than I should. It wasn’t big purchases it was 50 dollars here 200 hundred there. A subscription here and there. By the end of the month I would wrack 8k in spending.

Going line by line I learned how much I neglected these transactions being the source of my problem. Could I afford it? Yes. But saving and investing is a better vehicle for retirement early than these minor dopamine hits

Thanks for adding this information and yes this is exactly the point I was trying to make. Nationalized systems have better outcomes when they control the supply, demand, and pricing. If that doesn’t work manufacture it ourselves at a discount.

It’s literally well documented why this is being done. It’s intentional to cause disruptions and damage.

Even better life in prison for all on board. (This is extreme but I bet you that they'd think twice)

Why does the US consumer of said medications subsidize many other countries who have access to the same medications for a fraction of the US sticker price?
