The reality is that the poor are increasingly poorer. And needing multiple jobs to stay poor. What works for you isn't what works for the people.

You are certainly allowed to only care about yourself. But then I am unclear on your motivation to participate in this discussion. This is not a discussion about you.

They did something and are now hoping for it to become legal.

Circular reasoning. Also verifiably false, and it is well known to all, including you. Made-up accusations of pedophilia are one small example. Should we worry that people have a negative image of someone who makes up accusations of pedophilia?

But how many were born poor and didn't steal or swindle their way to wealth?
Elon Musk: born rich
Jeff Bezos: born rich
Bill Gates: born rich

We could also talk about how Steve Jobs treated Steve Wozniak. How many persons on that list weren't born rich *and* weren't pieces of shit in order to become super rich?

Have we ever had such a large wealth gap? I agree that many systems have corruption, cronyism and a few other bad things. But my question remains valid.

I guarantee that there is at least one thing that you trust "the government" to be capable of. Maybe it's invading other countries. Maybe it's arresting people. Maybe it's building schools. Maybe it's enforcing laws that you think are fair. Maybe it's making sure that roads are built. Maybe it's doing research in certain domains. Maybe it's protecting rich people because they earned it by working hard. I don't know about your values so I can't tell which one it is, but unless you have disapproved with every action ever taken by the successive governments of where you live, there is something. Care to share it with us?

Enjoyment is an important part of learning. If one took brings more joy than the other while learning, then that's an argument in favour of that tool.

So you also want the US to stop sending money and weapons to Israel, yes? It's all used to destabilise the region.

That is a valid argument, up until the point where the church of Scientology starts to pervert justice and law enforcement. We have passed that point.

That is just a small part of the picture. You can certainly blame a business for making poor decisions, and for misplacing its trust. If my doctor gives me a magic syrup to cure cancer, I'll blame my doctor, not the magic syrup maker. And don't get me wrong, the magic syrup maker should be sued out of existence. But the doctor, who is an expert, should know better, and they are accountable for giving me the syrup.

Well, that's simplistic. A well-trained cyclist with a road bike and an open lane with no traffic can easily do 30mph, but they're likely breaking a sweat. Cycling is my main mode of transportation in the city, I go faster than a majority of the cyclists, and I don't go above 25km/h very often, at least not when it's flat or when there is traffic or pedestrians. That's about 15.5 mph. Riding a bike at 20mph can be a safety issue in a city. YMMV (couldn't resist) depending on the city.

I don't have a link right now but essentially the police is already bad at their job anyway, and takes too much initiative with poor results instead of actually helping people when they ask for help. If they could bully less and help more that would be great. I'm not supporting the law proposals (I don't have an opinion on them), but I don't think your argument against them is strong.

You're so focused on making a point that you are making shit up. I have not defended the policy. Your point is poorly made and you have not provided evidence. I have already explained why. Either provide evidence or move on, but please do not make things up about what I express or not, and do not assume that you know what I think, because so far all you have shown is that you are eager to believe things without evidence

What about environments with shared computers though? Think schools, universities. That's a legitimate usage.

For perspective, when puritan Europeans came to what is now called the US, they did essentially the bad things you are describing. Your existence in the US is only possible because all these things you say shouldn't happen now did happen then. I agree that Sharia law is a terrible idea anywhere btw. For the US, I'm more worried about the Christian nutcases though. Because they are already doing another iteration of what you are describing, just not in the flavour you are focused on.
