> I am once again going to report your behavior to the mods. Hope the ban is worth it.
Unlike you, who are trying to negotiate a karma refund [1], I don't care about social media accounts nor points. What I do care about is treasonous pieces of shit like you whose continued rhetoric and kid gloves approach on places like HN allow your ilk to continue to fester, which builds up to what happened on Wednesday.
Your kind needs to be called out repeatedly in every circle you exist within.
Now is not the time but I can bring up thousands upon thousands of examples of commentary on this forum. And of course there's plenty of reasonable people but there's a ton of absolute pieces of shit that post things across this forum every day and nothing happens.
Except when I call them out directly, dang swoops in and tells me I can't personally attack another user etc.
Information overload leads to people seeking succinct information and answers. The upvote/downvote systems ubiquitous today are easily manipulated to spread misinformation, propaganda, and fake news.
We need to do away with upvotes and downvotes. It’s manipulated everywhere it exists.
Trump has set a precedent for what is acceptable behavior of public servants and the lasting damage will take decades to undo. He pardoned someone convicted of war crimes. He's convinced hundreds of sitting governors, represetnatives, and senators to openly object to and instill distrust in the integrity of elections. He's publicly questioned and disparaged the integrity of nearly every government institution from the military to intelligence agencies to the IRS.
So, yes, we're viewing this in Trumpian terms because there's a very clear link to eroding trust in government institutions.
I'm glad you're productive in your CLI tool usage but just because it takes you an hour futzing with basic *nix tools doesn't mean it's the same for everyone else. Powershell is extremely cumbersome for me due to the sheer verbosity of each command and the apparent MO of "let's come up with a new name for everything" and "sensible defaults? what's that?"
That's the key phrase. Police in small towns of America have nothing better to do than setup ways of levying fines against outsiders so they can afford to upgrade their cruisers to the latest dodge chargers or outfit everyone with DOD hand-me-down weaponry.
You should compare the actual effective taxation rates. For example, high earners in Norway get taxed about ~8% higher than comparable earners in California but that comes with affordable healthcare, education, and government-backed pensions that people can actually survive on.
Deregulate it into baby Googles like they did Bell so these states can capture a portion of taxes on that sweet Google corporate revenue away from California.
Nothing will fundamentally change for the consumer, only who gets paid.
