> That's interesting to hear, as someone living in a different country I always assume that the reason to homeschool is so you could give your children better education.

The attitude I was raised with is that parents will always have to provide supplemental education but the socialization school provides is much more difficult to replace.

Is it accessible enough it can be soldered-out, or is this one of those effectively-permanent things?

Downvotes are neutral at best, they aren't a replacement for moderation.
I mean better late than never, but somehow I don't see this reducing carbon emissions so much as slowing them.
I too like to talk out of my ass to defend large companies
Seems like a rather puerile form of bullying, no? With adults it looks much different. Mockery in front of peers, openly manipulative behavior, talking shit behind peoples' backs, etc etc
Tbh, i gave up on home ownership a long time ago.
Libertarians wrap your head around the concept of a society without property rights (impossible)

> people should have the ability to do what they want with properties they own

Very much disagree with this as a fundamental premise. Ownership of land and real estate causes massive, massive, massive problems and ills in our society.

Cities are great but the skyhigh cost of living isn't.

Workplace bullying is fairly common too, it just follows the corporate hierarchy.

> Having worked for a company in the past doesn't mean you like the company or will be soft on them.

This often is implied, actually. Better safe than sorry.

Isn't that trivially a conflict of interest?
