Exactly.

It destroys competition.

GMail is the worst for email blocking resolutions. They don't have an effective feedback loop built into their system. So when a user does block you, no one is told about it, to be fixed. Therefore lowering your reputation with them over time.

How can we as ESPs respond to them appropriately with removal of these people who don't want our emails anymore, if we don't know who the user is?

If there are any GMAIL service team members here, I would LOVE to know why a feedback loop was never implemented like the other providers.

That country probably gave you the opportunity you have now. You might not think its worth 2 years, but the country does and everyone else in that country also did.

You should really think about going back and serving a country which gave you opportunities.

I wouldn't call it unreasonable. They were told to clear the streets. They didn't actually clear the street. They stayed on the street. Reporters not following directions.

Police abuse their power when leaders pick sides? And what about the Mayor? Has he not chosen sides? He lambasted the riots, but has allowed it to continue. Actions and words.

While the first half kind of threw me, your second half lined up with what I see. Im quite surprised you believe and state it more than once that NPR is right of center. Just recently their CEO wrote a book about how LEFT leaning they were and how bad he was. He realized that he needed to venture out and how bad NPR was.

Its a CIVIL war that has been raging for the last 200 years. It won't stop anytime soon until there is diplomacy. Real diplomacy and HARD diplomacy is needed here. It can't be stopped unless people sit down and talk things out.

Its actually a regulation problem. City councils, local govts create this problem with restrictions on buildings and what type of things can go into their city. These people should rise up and realize their living in something created by govt.

I'm not sure what you're getting at. The term illegal is expressed in Oxford and Merriam Webster.

Its also expressed and used quite a lot in legal documents and written law.

Neither mean to use it as a racist term.

I would recommend you do some research on this topic. Your giving talking points produced by mainstream talking heads.

When in fact, research points to private prisons being better at dropping incarceration rates through the programs offered at them. Therefore increasing ones chance at correct rehabilitation.

It's curious to see a facebook group that has +9k members, they were only able to grab 2 screenshots from all the news that it's a racist group. Only 2 screenshots certainly can't cast a shadow over the entire group.

I would like to wait a few more days before I see more from this group. I have doubts that it was that bad.

and that 4.2 Million people doesn't include the 7 Billion people in the world that need fossil fuels in order to have power. Cars, buildings etc. Because of fossil fuels, life has been much better for the 7 billion.

"It's because email is open. If we lose an open, healthy ecosystem with many providers"

Don't you see? This post on HN means you have created the CLOSED unhealthy ecosystem. You built what you just spoke against when you shut out email from small providers. Shame on you for speaking idealically and not confronting the reality of the situation.

Dave Ramsey, - Every Dollar App.

Dave Ramsey is probably the biggest expert in helping people get out of debt and stay out of debt. While its a 8 step program, he requires you to sit down and budget.

Just one more accolade. He is known in circles as the best program to get people out of debt and fast.

Along with his program he offers an App called Every Dollar.

Its a must have if you know anything about budgeting personally.
