So what do you want, forced quotas?

So I donate $5000 and in return you push more HTML/JS developers to the market, making me getting paid less?

Well, what a deal!

You can all calm down and take some time to hear me tell you you have to believe in what I believe.

I'm so happy since I learnt to master uMatrix...

I recommend it to everybody, especially those who are HTML developers and already know what those checkboxes are about. Change the defaults to something else and only unblock stuff you really trust.

FreedomPop in Spain was a free service until recently. It was completely unusable. They were selling Three (UK) cards that worked here in roaming. The internet service simply didn't work. They were assigning telephone numbers they borrowed from another company. That company didn't have a licence to lend their assigned numbers, that was illegal, so they had to stop providing their services and I suppose they'll get fined, big time.

Now they stopped giving that free service, and you have to pay. I don't think many people will pay anything. It's a scam.

I am sure illegals do dozens of things every day that could get them deported.

I also come from a place where voter fraud is real and significant. Underground organisations that bring old/disabled people to the urns to make them vote whatever they want do exist. We know about that. So whatever is happening in the US won't really surprise me. (Not to say something like this happens in the US, but it's perfectly possible, and it is foolish to simply outright deny that possibility)

2. doesn't really convince me--they are illegals, who are staying in a country with no regard for the law. "Harsh punishment" doesn't sound like something that would deter them from doing something like voting, as that could improve their lives greatly.

Anyway I want to know, aren't you identified in any way at all when you vote? Don't you have to pretend you're someone who's on a list, at least?

> * Monetary incentives to have less children.

Is this some kind of a joke? How will society support itself with fewer kids?

There are two things I don't understand.

1) How come there isn't a standard, mandatory, country-wide ID card system in place?

2) If you can vote without an ID card, what prevents illegals from voting as somebody else?

How do voter ID laws prevent democrats from voting? We have to be fully identified in Europe to vote and parties from the left win elections just fine.
I am not American so I don't understand this so please somebody explain. Is this guy being downvoted because it's thought to be racist to complain about illegals voting without them being citizens, or is this guy being downvoted because this fraud is thought to not happen?

Spaniard here. I pay around 750€ a year. If I can prove I don't make much money, not only I don't have to pay, they'll also pay part of (or the entirety of) my rent, food, etc.

100k a year is just, wow.
