The government issued a take down order, github complied.
Why is that news or interesting when in the US companies are deplatforming people who's political speach is deemed harmful?
The two problems are not equal.

The two problems are not equal.
A money market account is insured and the real return is 0%, so it's not as vulnerable as you seem to think.
You can call money a credit. Then you can assign credits to actions and create a moral police to assign credits to people who do these actions and enter those credits into a leger. And now you've recreated communist China. Congrats.
No need to create a tyrannical government to force people to do deeds of arbitrary value for elderly people.
The free market pays a banker more than a cancer researcher, therefore government must take from the banker and give to the researcher for... Reasons.
The problem with that is, while the banker has made jobs possible and allowed people to buy houses...a real and immediate value, the researcher hasn't healed a single person.
Then, one day, the researcher finds the cure...and then gets paid more than 1,000,000 bankers put together.
We cannot apply an equal value to "trying to do good" and actually doing good. That's not the way the world works.
I can't eat your good intentions. Nor can they shelter me from the cold.
What is their name? IDK. What exactly did they hear? IDK. From who did they hear it from? IDK.
People here seem awfully sure about something they know nothing about.
Yup.
>Like, there is nothing left to do.
Nope. That's not it.
More like: There is nothing you're allowed to do.
In my town, we tried to get a town only beach, since most of the beaches in town are owned and controlled by CCNS and fill up with tourists in the summer.
But our town owned undeveloped beach-front land, so we tried to get a parking lot approved. Sounds easy right?
Environmental impact study, traffic study, land use issues, etc... The final reason why we couldn't make this happen was a MOTH...an insect. That is why we don't do much any more. They want you to spend $50K on studies...just so they can tell you no.
The title is misleading. I don't want incredible growth, I want sustainable growth.
No one has a right to another's output.
We have a right to a free press... Not to free newspapers.
We have a right to bear arms... Not to free guns.
Obama was against school choice, but he and all his children went to private schools.
Does that hypocrisy make Obama a terrible human being?
For instance, prisons house people who broke the law and were convicted by their peers...but let's pretend prisoners are all somehow virtuous and blame the prisons. If only good law abiding people weren't so damn bad, they'd realize that prisons aren't a great place to be for prisoners.
Since we are in the process of flipping vice and virtue, let's also make freedom of speech unpopular. Once we do that, let's start by fining people $250K for using legal terms, like illegal immigrant to describe people that have entered the country illegally...because feelings.

A lot can happen in that time. Given the direction of things, do you think it will be better? I guess I don't.
When HK is supposed to hand itself over to China's rule in 2047, do you think there will be ANY international support for their independence? I don't. That would be directly against the deal that was struck.
Wouldn't it be better to use China's interference as a pretext for independence, claiming it was China who has broken the bargain?
American independence wasn't about a tea tax or a few soldiers defending themselves in Boston. It was about inevitability and using those events to propel it.
Devil's advocate here...Are they not separatist? If not, shouldn't they be?
It's hard to imagine your "country" working on a death clock. In 2047 it all ends. So, what is the point of fighting the good fight at this point? Why not face the inevitable and leave while you can? Or fight for a final independence now, while you can?

To me, this is the problem with seeking validation through these systems. You are rewarded for saying pleasing things and for conforming to group think.
Why don't you spend down your points by playing devil's advocate? Then, when you run low on points, you can fill-up-the-tank by saying nice things that everyone wants to hear again.
In one hand you say it's a bad thing, on the other its OK. It's not logical and the only way I can explain it is being sore losers of the last election.
I keep hearing how Trump is going to destroy our Constitution, but I also keep hearing from leftist how we need to change the first amendment, the second amendment, and the EC.
You seem to suggest that having the availability of life saving equipment is BAD if a profit is being made, but a lack of life saving equipment is GOOD if no profit is being made.
So what is your point?
However, the Senate isn't "like" the Electoral College. The Senate is what makes Congress like the EC...or vice versa.
So if you believe the US isn't a collection of united states, which is why the senate exists and why the EC exists, then it is only rational to argue against both intuitions.
Granted it's from 2014, but are you disputing the following facts as reported then?
"The report shows the UK has only 5.9 MRI units per million people, less than half the OECD average of 13.3."
"On CT scanners we are 30th out of 32 countries, in front of only Hungary and Mexico. The numbers concern only NHS scanners."
The source is irrelevant.
That seems like a very narrow view point. We have so much freedom in the US, but many people put blinders on then insist their somehow slaves.
You can buy a house in Tennessee for less than one years rent of a studio apartment in NYC. But you don't want to live there? That makes you a slave to your own desires.
I don't even see the UK on these lists.
CT Scanners: https://www.statista.com/statistics/266539/distribution-of-e...
MRI Machines: https://www.statista.com/statistics/282401/density-of-magnet...
Perhaps the UK should be on the list, but somewhere near the bottom:

Pro this, pro that, it sounds like some low end brand trying hard to make their new middling product sound amazing.
