Comment Re:Less "Worked-Hard" (Score 5, Insightful) 195

The difference between America and Europe is that in America, people can decide for themselves how much of a life-work balance they want.

In Europe, the government makes that decision for you.

Oh no how terrible, the government says I have to be treated well no matter who I work for.

I don't care what they are called. The simple fact is that when people meet nowadays, they don't even exchange phone numbers. They exchange Insta and TikTok handles.

You can shout at the sky all you want, your opinions aren't relevant frankly.

how much is the cheapest TV today compared to the 90s

You can't eat your TV. You can't drive your TV to the grocery store. You can't take your TV into the bank and get a home loan, nor can you take your TV to a home seller and get a reasonable price. You can't hand it to the university and be handed back an education. You can't give your doctor your TV and receive surgical or even preventive care or the meds you need.

Your problem (other than the root one of spewing disingenuous nonsense) is that you're looking at the pricing in the electronics sector and pretending it's representative of the extremely high basic living costs I called out (which of course it is not) — nowhere did I say anything about either the pricing of electronics or the need for a TV to achieve a reasonable cost of living. Nor should you have. But here we are.

As a conservative,

Here we go...

it might surprise you to say that I'm in favor of net neutrality, and this is an area of where I disagree with a lot of other conservatives. I know I'm not alone though. There are multiple Republicans who joined Democrats in trying to codify this into law, and I stood by that effort as well. This is one of those areas where I see a place for bipartisan support.

Sounds entirely reasonable...

Although I am behind the spirit of this, and understand why this is needed, what I don't stand by is the way this is being implemented. This business of circumventing failed legislation like this is not the right way to to effect change. Despite being for it, I will stand by the inevitable overturning of this when Republicans retake FCC majority. Congress needs to get back to legislating. Yes, it is hard and purposefully so. This however, is disappointing to see.

And there it is. So you want net neutrality but you'll still vote for the people who will fuck it up? Sounds like the Log Cabin Republicans who were shocked they weren't welcome to the RNC https://www.texastribune.org/2... But take a wild guess how they will vote when the time comes.
