The government foists downsides on us all the time, it’s nothing new. The FAA diversifies itself at the expense of your safety and we’re forced to use them if we want to fly. At least we have a choice if we use OpenAi’s products

The government is less efficient at serving its stake holders than for-profit corporations.

The government creates the conditions for PGE to be so bad. I’m defecting from the grid this year, PGE’s high prices mean my s system will pay for itself in less than a year and will likely be more reliable.

battery and solar companies saved me from PGE and they can save you. The government perhaps can but likely won’t. Extrapolate for yourself what this means about the world and what organizations should command the most resources.

Why? You can’t even build a hospital or practice medicine without government permission. It’s an industry ripe for regulatory capture.

Maybe we should just send up the best astronauts and screen for capability to perform good work?

It just doesn’t seem like we have safe public places anymore. Some hood rats killed and raped a mentally disabled woman in a park near me. I want to retreat inside and protect my family.

Why does it seem like every jurisdiction is allergic to building housing. If your gdp per capita is below $20k/yr, there’s a massive opportunity to beat the cost structure of anglosphere housing.

Christianity challenged the powers that be, something like the first 20 leaders of the Christian Church were lynched for being Christians.

Hardly. Seeing how the nyt union organizes against employees, I’d fight any unionization effort at my work strongly because I’d be worried the union would go after me if it could

Luckily the US is a constitutional republic, not a democracy

I’m sure we can find flaws in any number of the included data sets, but we’re not excluding those, right?

Why are people singling out this one dataset?

Hardly the most depraved, it was nice to see the article didn’t fall into the “stunning and brave” trope.

Good point. disincentivize Lax maintenance even more, airlines should want their planes to be in good condition

Seems like the us military hurts more citizens than it protects.

Just the other day, a woman I work with mentioned she got diabetes after playing a season of soccer on a field polluted with munition factory waste.

Between this and the farm bills that push corn syrup and seed oils, I wish the government would stop working so hard to poison us

Depends where he did the crime, $0 bail is incredibly common in places like NYC. Poor people are permitted to hurt others and then are free to go
