So we agree it doesn’t scale. You can’t have 1,000 people each digging their own septic system around an apartment complex. What you’re proposing is adding cost and complexity to sewage in order to ensure you only pay for your shit.

> Also rural septic systems are almost never publicly funded.

Indeed, but literally all of the infrastructure up and down the supply chain that makes a $5k septic system available to you is.

> In rural areas septic is usually owned as part of mortgage or as debt services, if one cannot pay outright.

Ah, so you’d rather the poor pay interest on the ability to shit? Surreal.

> brutally poor or mentally ill

Yes, and I don’t think those people ought to be unable to shit in dignity. The libertarian dream is a nightmare.

How does this work in Manhattan? How about for a single apartment complex? It doesn’t scale. It works if you’re in a low density area benefiting from the taxes pulled from high density areas.

> Also you can build your own septic for 5k if you do your own work.

Something like 40% of Americans couldn’t field a $400 expense.

> I'm honestly in shock you'd poop in the street to save the 40 or so a month it costs at worst

You’re in shock after discussing a place where it happens?

Your “low tax libertarian enclave” where folks evidently can afford to drop $10k occasionally sure doesn’t sound like it’ll scale up to 12 million people.

But if it's a certainty, with perfect information, then there's no choice to be had. The choice is an illusion.

My problem with these types of explanations is that they are so egotistical. We probably all agree that a rock doesn't have free will. Is there no quantum uncertainty and chaos theory happening inside a rock? What about in a solar system?

Going on trips and eating out are luxuries some can afford because they don't have children...

Not only have you added nothing of value to the topic at large, you provided incorrect information. The intent was obvious enough that you felt confident “correcting” me. Thanks for playing.

Saying “comorbidities but censorship” only solidifies that you’re not willing to take an impartial look at anything.

Doesn’t the dodo show that that isn’t a given?

Can we?

> There were quite a lot of damages from pushing experimental vaccines with little efficacy. I think we will find the fallout of that soon enough.

Is the implication that 1 million people died (or will die) from the vaccines? Seems like I've been hearing that conspiracy theory from day one.
