"Middlebrow dismissals" like this are discouraged on HN.

Why girls?

The Green New Deal is a mishmash of left wing talking points, not a coherent proposal.

Not every bad thing is authoritarian. Sometimes you have people powered plagues, such as racism and bigotry, which have been part of human nature for millennia.

When joining the party is required if you want to get a job in your career field, you'll join the party.

"it's for a popular audience" is a bad justification for publishing misleading or wrong information that teaches people a wrong headed view of what a science is. It's not just poor quality, it's a actively harmful to culture and social progress. It's a supernormal stimulus, the journalism equivalent of replacing real foods by sugar and oil mixes -- it pushes people toward preferring wrong things over right things.

This is a thoroughly debunked lie

That doesn't work at all. Are you going to fill your network with people who aren't really your friend? Visit locations you don't want to visit? Devote more than have your time to this disinformation?

You are saying that people like the banks more than they like tech companies? Or that credit companies had anything nearly approaching the data that is available today -- 24/7 location data, all purchases, all associates, and more?

Be real. You are saying that data should not be collected at all.

That's a boring complaint. Any tech can be used for good or evil. When is a movement and movement, and not a guerilla terrorist cell network?

Gluing batteries and similar techniques make products more robust to damage. Apple hardware is absolutely famous for surviving far longer than competing products. A 10 yr old functioning Mac is not unusual.

You don't need all those weird rules, all you need is a recycling tax on the product, and let market forces sort it out.

China is catching up on USA's special talents.

Humans also have an irreducible error rate.

Explain how your proposal would fix Equifax

The problem you describe was solved in 1792 by the US Constitution, but has not been deployed everywhere.

The source of your confusion is your conflation of a criminal government with the country itself.

It should be obvious that that Constitution doesn't apply to people who aren't even in USA at all.

Assange was snatched from a foreign country.

Food isn't hoarded, it's wasted, because no one pays for deliver it where it's needed.

Law is in service of all the people. Rule of law is preferred over rule of lawyers.

That seems wrong. For only 4% revenue tax a company could just completely ignore the laws and just pay the fine as a cost of business.

It's impossible to anonymize; that's the point.

That's because when a targeted ad is general enough to be useful, you misclassify it as a nontargeted ad. Nontargeted ads are pretty much only punch-the-monkey mortgage an dcar insurance scams.

So what? If you don't want some random person to know you by your email address, don't give them your email address. Or use a separate email address for them.
