Are you sure they get oil changes. I've ran into a few rental cars that didn't even get basic things like windshield wipers. I can't imagine a lot of those companies would take them out of service to change the oil on time.

It is a bit bizarre to read about police state where the police are a monopoly ran and controlled by the government and then call it capitalist.
ben940830298432··on U.S. forgives 40k student loans
The private market would just require people to be more responsible about taking out loans. If people that take out loans for basket weaving often don't pay them back nobody would give out a loan for basket weaving. If someone is on their 5th major or college without completing any credit they won't get any more loans without having some backing.

The react app I have seen at my current work seems to use a different pattern per file which makes it nearly impossible to figure it out.

Do you think government could actually keep up with technology to regulate it? And if they did regulate it would it actually help people or the companies that are buying them?

Not really. Drivers have the choice if they want to drive or not. If it is busy at certain times and rates are lower than don't drive at that time. If you don't want to have urban cores flooded with rideshare drivers find a way to improve busing or other competition in that space.

Being in government isn’t meant to be a lifelong career. People should only serve a few terms and leave.

BMW has a pretty decent non-touch infotainment system. It is a wheel style but they do also offer touch if you want to use that.
ben940830298432··on Angular v8.0
Angular is easier to get up and running. Then you also have a very solid foundation that can be picked up easily by new devs starting on the project. Whereas, React seems to work only for more experienced front-end developers since you have to make more choices. If someone is just starting out it can turn into a mess pretty quick.

ben940830298432··on Join the Battle for Net Neutrality
Well look at the other things you think the government needs their hands in, health and education and both have been slower to change and more expensive since. So the best way to get less access to the internet is by adding a bunch of government regulation. Great Idea!

Net Neutrality will just make it even harder for new players to compete because they will have large regulations to meet. The only way to improve is to make it easier at a local level for more companies to compete.

ben940830298432··on Join the Battle for Net Neutrality
We have had the internet for a long time without net neutrality why do we all of sudden need it?
