I wanted to build a duplex but “zoning laws” say that wasn’t allowed, only single family detached houses with at least X amount of land.

Most zoning laws are serious bullshit and work as defacto segregation to keep the dirty brown poor people away from the nice good rich folk. It’s why suburban school is a totally different things from poor urban school.

Zoning laws are why developers in LA can’t afford to build anything other than luxury condos. Land is literally too expensive to build. As an example: a requirement to have at least X parking spots per X units, even when it’s built right next to a metro and a bus depot and you’re building low income housing for people who are less likely to own cars in the first place.

Too many NIBYs whining about things.

STOP USING JAVACRIPT

Everyone I know uses signal, even our neighborhood group messaging is a signal group.

Then again my neighbors are all reasonable people.

Actual health insurance is literally illegal in the USA. It’s all some sort of partially pre-paid health subscription crap that you get punished for not buying. Every time the government steps in the help they make it worse, even as far back as WW2 with “salary caps” leading to extra non-monetary incentives, like medical insurance, company car, etc. Then the government gives business tax breaks to provide insurance making it more expensive for an individual to buy so now your health is tied to your work. Then they help by… etc. etc. etc.

Depends on what age you could as “child”. But yeah.

DO NOT START DRINKING

Y/Y is year over year. M/M is month over month

chill, bro

Debian. It’s FOSS.

I can have a 100% FOSS system. Everything else includes non-free stuff by default.

How? I don’t see what could find dns-over-https in the middle of other https traffic?

As as US idiot,

Checks out.

PiHole with upstream dns-over-tls or dns-over-https.

Anybody who wants to can get around DNS blocks. Sure it’ll stop Aunt Sally, but anyone who cares will get around it. It’s a really dumb way of doing things.

Another reason the feds ensure inflation, it makes their workforce cheaper.

But then again I’ve heard there’s monopolies for that in the USA, instead of actual competition.

Government granted monopolies. It’s the worst. City / county/ state signs deal with ISP X and give them exclusive rights. Then for some reason they don’t spend a lot of time updating anything because they have no competition because of the fucking morons in the government.

I use NFS with caches (cachefilesd) on a local SSD. Works great.

Inflation is a tax on hoarding money.

It’s a tax on my savings and my retirement. My savings lose 2% a year, on purpose. This means I have to play in the investment game to so much as break even. I’d rather not have to play the stock market game and just save my money for retirement without it losing value.

The TLDR:

They hate capitalism because they’re losers and they think that under a different system they wouldn’t be such a loser. But they would be.

“someone has a different opinion than me, they must be dumb”

Go back to reddit.

edit: You know down voting something doesn’t make it untrue? This is true whether you like it or not.

Every time I ask for “capitalism” problems I get answers about what the government does.

“too big to fail”? Government bailouts.

“antitrust”? Government granted monopolies and making the laws so that barriers to entry are too big.

“police shootings” Government gang.

“inflation”? Government monetary policy.

“colonization”? Government expansion

“not enough social programs”? Government policy.

Then you’ve got the sub-70s who go on about “exploitation” which is rooted entirely in fiction.

Life requires work. All life everywhere. Humans aren’t exempt from this; demanding that others do all your work and provide for you or free isn’t going to work.

Some of these people would complain that they have to chew their own food.

People forget that capitalism has lifted literally billions of people out of poverty, it’s advanced our technology to where it’s basically magic. It increased the amount of food we can grow with fewer people allowing people to move past subsistence farming (which many socialist countries reverted to).

Capitalism uses people greed to provide better, cheaper, faster versions of things…

Then the government gets involved and instead of blaming the government they’re told to blame capitalism, so they do.
