FTFY.

but we don't have another capitalist country to buy our stuff if we do that.

Technically, there's no floating involved.

We're also ignoring the whole "what do people do when they have too much time on their hands". I've been in that situation before, being unemployed for a period of time. Having no daily task does bad things to you. It's not only money, it's also when every day is the same as the last, you end up havinto find things to fill your time. Some people are very good at this . Others are not.

Citing a silly platitude that is not even logical does not have the argument winning effect you wish it to have.

We really need a new Godwin's law, but applied to the term "fascist".

yeah, sure, totally. One time only. uh huh.
I work public sector. The only thing that scares me more than an unhinged capitalist AI system for profit only is an unhinged AI system built and maintained by government bureaucracy. It will either be totally ineffective, or will murder you and produce documentation in triplicate to be distributed to all departments justifying said murder. Perhaps both?

Someone sounds angry. Parents raise you wrong?
Raising your kids is your responsibility, regardless of the state's help or lack thereof. Calling someone weak for stating that is some 1984 level doubleplusgood speak.

I can remember looking at cereal boxes and wanting so badly to read them. However, I can't remember my parents ever assisting me with this at all: it was just told that I'd learn it when I entered school. I became a voracious reader once I learned, however.

20 pages is not quite a lot.

Now do the moon landing.

This reminds me of the judge Dredd storyline with Judge Death: all people are capable of committing crime, so the only way to perfectly stop crime is to kill everyone.

There's always giant ice asteroids they can crash into the planet.

I'd also add we should be making our food aid into GOOD meal kits, as opposed to every fast food restaurant having a large "We accept EBT" sign in the window. I already subscribe to one that results in fairly delicious healthy meals, and ramped up I can't believe this wouldn't be doable.

I'm doing it right now, and It's fairly difficult. The hardest part, though, isn't access to healthy things or maintaining the work - though that is difficult. The hardest part is peer pressure. Donuts at work. C'mon, just have one. People going out with you and chiding you for not eating enough or chipping in on large orders. Friends wanting to drink, but you're not so you're somehow a downer. All that.
