Comment How about a bit of responsibility? (Score 1, Interesting) 80

At all points in time, nations and adults need to take on responsibility for their own situations. Trump is a fat sack of puke who should not have eliminated aid, but aid should come with specific requirements of responsibility and clear paths to independence. Countries don't even bother building basic sanitation. People sit around and build nothing. In the end, I 100% understand the desire to say, "OK then, fuck 'em."

Comment Misinformation is the new information! (Score 1) 78

Lies are the new truth, and it's not even on purpose. Evil companies pump out AI-generated pages by the galaxy-load to attract clicks for ads, so whatever they scrape, they repeat. Google shoves to the top whatever it sees the most. Eventually we will need private, paid-for, human-curated internets.

Comment Re:Or we can tax appropriately (Score 1) 165

Profiting a private corporation isn't taxing. Do I need to send you a dictionary? I hear they're going out of style.

The owner of the factory who has workers who drive on a road benefit from a road. The owner of the business who sells to workers who drive on a road benefit from a road. This is why roads should be paid for with taxes, not tolls. Toll roads are a sign of a failure of governance. This includes when people drive across a bridge to get to their jobs, because there isn't enough housing nearby, and tolls are imposed to discourage the driving when public transit, which needs to be funded with taxes, isn't of sufficient quality or reach.
