Comment Re:What does a guy have to do to get a link... (Score 1) 3

I don't get normally to but this time I highlighted the link text and right clicked to do a "select".
Then I got to press, "ctrl" then "c n v" and enter to go to it.
I.e. copy the selected text to the clipboard, open a new browser window, then copy it to the address bar.
It's only fun for me because I can type three letters in a row whilst holding the "ctrl" key down.

Other than not wanting people to use masks when they were in limited supply to allow more first responders use them, what did he do that was wrong?
Anything after May of 2020?
Scientifically or politically?
And how was he authoritarian?
Even if he said, "lock up all COVID positive people," the politicians could just ignore it.
I don't thing he had any power at all; he could just suggest things and which Congress or presidents or govs who could ignore him anyway.

I know all 6 freedoms in 1A.
The gov't may not respect an establishment of religion.
The gov't may not prohibit free exercise of religion.
The gov't may not prohibit free speech.
The gov't may not prohibit free press.
The gov't may not prohibit peaceful assemblies.
The gov't may not prohibit petitions.

Respecting is like having an official religion; which would allow the 10 comm. on gov't property without also allowing 10 "anti-commandments" as well.
Free exercise is what we normally expect that the gov't can't make Islam or atheism illegal.
They are similar but I would call them different.

If agreement allows upmoding then disagreement should be downmoding.
I've heard the reason down isn't used is that people should reply instead of downmod.
Shouldn't that apply to upmodding as well?
And do you even care about karma?
I ignore it.
I never click the "No Karma Bonus" because I post so rarely it doesn't matter.

Ohh finally a place to tell about my new idea.
Instead of taxes like we have now - income, sales, property - we have externality taxes.
Pollution, slavery (that is wage slavery), trash (that plastic needs to go somewhere) etc. would be taxed.
IMHO, one reason the US's version of capitalism doesn't work versus that of other countries is stuff like that.
The good part of that is that all money you spend can be found on food price tags in stores.
Or clothes or boats or even weird things like event attendance.

It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
