Maybe this is a dumb question, but have the newspapers in California tried selling subscriptions to their readers?

I mean I'm sure they have tons of readers who really want to read their texts. I'm sure they'd be happy to pay for it, if only the newspapers would think to ask them for it.

If you don't want critical thinkers, hire practically anyone with a midwit liberal arts degree or better yet a midwit masters in any non-stem field.

Deeply evil towards the colleges and universities who rely on credentialism being maintained!

That is of course something you can believe, since you don't understand that better maintained roads and well policed roads are actually a trade boon, not a hindrance.

I find it rather enjoyable. Do you not like the videos of antifas getting slapped around coming out of Chicago, Portland, etc? If not, why? Explain why this is not something that you like.

Is that AI-slop?

That is just a thing that you say without any basis in reality.

If the all supply of product X is renter model, and there is a demand for a non-renter-model, then in a free market you can go out and create a company that produces a non-renter-model to meet the demand for that, and then you become wealthy because you are tapping a previously untapped market.

See free market always makes sense, if you just think a little harder.

> the West ended what had been the very common practice of toll roads hundreds of years ago

You are actually not aware of the vast network of toll roads that exist in the US then?

>good luck having the type of educated populace we have today with only private schools.

Do you believe public schools are on par with private schools in terms of quality of education?
Do you believe there is something magic about forcibly confiscated money that makes it more effective at paying for a school building, teacher salaries etc, vs voluntary funding of the same?

>So anything that has consumer demand is art? You didn't see how completely stupid that sounded when you wrote it?

Anything can be art, it just depends on who you ask.

> "You'll never get something that isn't trade discouraging toll roads if you leave road building to be paid for on a voluntary basis for instance"

What are you on about? There are tons of well maintained toll roads all over the world, that many people gladly pay to use.

Tell us that you hold a liberal arts degree and is at least $100k in debt for it, without saying it lol.

Concede you lost an argument without saying it.

Well done sir, well done.

I support your right to fair taxpayer-funded compensation for your toilet art, sir!

> What on earth are you basing that claim on?

Conservative estimate of number of women who owns or wants to own a Gucci bag.

>So I don't want any of my taxes going towards paying for sending our military into our cities amongst a shit ton of other things our government is doing right now. It's totally practical for our government to accommodate all that, right?

Certainly not. I think that should all be done on a voluntary basis as well. You should be able to opt out of that, just like I should be able to opt out of paying for anything Ukraine-war-related or welfare-related or anything else I don't want to pay for.

Your real name is "nocoiner" who is having fun staying poor, lol.
