That's a very broad statement care to back it up?

What are you talking about? I live in the US and private health care is garbage. My doctor's are picked by my job(in network). I have had my insurance company flat out refuse to cover tests my doctor recommended. Or force me to try cheaper options that my doctor doesn't think will work but I have no choice but to waste time. I pay a fortune every month for the privilege of paying 4500 a year. This is the best plan my job offers.

Before you say just find a new job. I'm tired of looking for a new job because the insurance started getting worse at a company.

It doesn't matter which doctor I see it won't change what insurance decides.

Fuck private healthcare.

He called the guy a pedo, hired an investigator to look into him, and claimed he was a rapist who bought his wife. There is no defending that. Elon is a massive piece of shit.

Oh please, no one is forcing them to read the books they don't like. If 51% of the voting population of a town doesn't like something, everyone else has to deal with it? Kids are the worst affected by this and can't vote.

No downside, except for you know dying or being maimed. True we aren't in a war atm. But given how Russia is acting it's not unlikely we might be at some point.

Given that I only have one ISP available to me. How would that work?

This is a problem of their own making. They can't have their cake and eat it too. Comcast has a monopoly in my area for high speed internet. Every other option is 25mbps(on a good day) or below. Comcast has shut down all potential competition.

So yea if they want to be a regional monopoly they might have some regulations placed on them they don't like.

I never had a problem either until you try to anything outside of the ordinary. My wife needed some special treatment it was a nightmare to get approved I wasted hours on the phone to be told that the procedure was through another insurance company my company hired for this special procedure. They made so many mistakes I had to call once a week. At one point I had a 4 way conference call between both companies and a special hr person from my company to get this shit sorted out.

That is what pushed me to socialized healthcare private insurers can get fucked.

That's not true at all, 3 to 4 clicks won't even get you through formatting the hard drive. Not to mention Windows Update never seems to install the correct drivers for my motherboard and very outdated drivers for my gpu.

Linux install is pretty similar and the only driver issue I have with it is my video card.

I would say they are pretty even honestly.

Sounds like you did the research care to share your sources for that. Otherwise I'm sticking with my sources that day DDT does cause cancer and birth defects. See Wikipedia article on DDT linked by someone else.

I think you vastly under estimate peoples will to advance. Would some take easy or no jobs sure, but not everyone wants to get by with a fixed income. They will always want to buy something UBI doesn't enable them to buy.

A nice vacation, nicer larger home, new car etc. UBI would just give people the cushion to take a risk and know if I fail I don't end up homeless. Or the piece of mind to relax and know they can eat a healthy meal and pay rent no need to work 2 or 3 jobs. Maybe the reinvest in their education.

Many companies in the US limit their employees to 32 or 36 hours a week so they don't have to pay benefits. It's a horrible system.

> I don't understand why this keeping getting called out, like it is an unusual burden to be responsible.

They are being forced to plan for the next 75 years now. in 2006 They were given 10 years to have the money needed for all pensions up to 75 years in the future. That is an unreasonable burden because no company does that. No company is planning 75 years from now on anything.

> In my humble opinion I think that all government pensions should be funded

No one is saying Pensions should stop being funded or paid out.

> because it is not fair for us to artificially lower costs now and expect everyone's children and grandchildren in the future to somehow pay for this generation's unfunded promises.

They are not artificially lowering costs, they were making a decent profit without this burden at the current price point. They were more then capable of meeting their obligations including pensions due now, and still making a decent profit. Nothing was being pushed off to future generations.

I have the same schedule, but I'm ADHD only. My doctor said that the Hyperactive part means more then just always moving. Before my medication my mind would jump around a lot I would have trouble focusing. So while physically I'm not hyper, mentally I was.

That's how my doctor described it to me anyway.

A non Electron desktop app for Gotify. It uses Dot Net Core and AvaloniaUI to support all 3 platforms. Looking for Mac testers as I don't have one and honestly feedback/bug reports. It works fine for me atm. Not sure what else people would want.

How would more people make their coffee more consistent?

Starbucks is a massive chain people expect the same thing at any Starbucks they go to. People are very inconsistent, if the coffee tasted different at every Starbucks they would not be as large as they are.

I've been working from home for a month now and I feel more productive. I don't have a few annoying co workers coming to my desk distracting me. I can focus on my work, and if I need to take a break I don't have to hide it at all. I am more comfortable in my PJ's and get to see my daughter more.

I think it allowing people to choose would give the biggest productivity boost. You do better in the office, but I was way less productive in the office. forcing people to do one or the other will hurt productivity.

Not yet but businesses are closed. So employees can't work and owners can't make money. Employees still have other bills to pay.

When the businesses open people could be so indebt they aren't able to start spending again quickly. The 1000 dollars won't boost the economy right now but will help recover faster when things start going back to normal.

It will never happen. Natural language is something that evolved over time, 99% of people on the planet don't have an opinion on the language they speak, they just speak it.

Programmers are very opinionated and sometimes for good reason. If I am a Web Dev I don't want to use C++ for my back end, that would be a nightmare. Just like if I am working on a major Triple-A game, I wouldn't want to write it in python.
