Yeah also the non compete stuff is absolutely fantastic even if it only affects those with middle class income.
Shits happening again and I'm here for it. Constant gridlock in passing laws is terrible.

Your first post in this thread containing partisan flamebait getting flagged into destruction wasn't enough for you? You toned down the cultish political speech about 30% but posted effectively the same comment again. Your posts do not create useful discourse, they just create political flame wars with echo chamber 1 fighting echo chamber 2.
[Edit] Looking through your history you seem to often make similar political posts making biased, (in my opinion hate-based), partisan assertions and having people reply to you telling you this. There's Reddit/Twitter/etc for you to do this sort of thing.

As someone who was fortunate enough to see their previous comment, it sure wasn't wrong, though it sure was inconvenient for the Temporarily Embarrassed Billionaires here who are happy to sleepwalk the rest of us into fascism if it means making another buck.
As for rooting through their comment history, those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, my friend. So far yours is "cars good", "California bad", "won't someone think of the poor companies (unironically)", "public transit bad", "everyone does propaganda so it's okay when Russia does it". Is this comment hate-based, in your opinion?

There's wrong, and then there's "not appropriate for the site". I accept that I do veer into the "not appropriate for this site" category sometimes, and I understand and accept why I get flagged when I do so. But getting flagged is not evidence of being wrong. (And, as much as I wish I were wrong, I am unfortunately not.) I also disagree that it's not useful discourse -- ignoring the problem certainly isn't useful either. But I wouldn't post about it in Club Penguin and I understand if people don't want me to post about it in HN. It's a tricky line, because the article under discussion is inherently political. It's one thing to get flagged for off-topic in a tech thread, but it's harder for me to know where the line is when everyone else in the discussion is also talking politics.
It is the right thing to do. That's it. That's the impetus.
I know everyone likes to shit on the idea that some people in government might actually give a shit about effectively governing. The party that is not interested in governing loudly proclaims this fact (and gets rewarded for it), and spreads the idea that anyone that is interested in effective governance is a naive moron. But there are some people who actually care about governing, and those people are all in one party (the converse is not true -- not everyone in that party cares about governing.)
Just like shithole-dictators love it when you think every country is a shithole run by a dictator, so do those who wish to destroy our government love it when you think that nobody else cares about governing, either.
