Completely agree - we should end property taxes; or make them a based on size of the property.

Yeah I completely agree, we need to cut spending significantly and reduce taxes for all.

This is nonsense, unrealized gains are not income.

No, it's the FTC doesn't have the authority - this is an easy thing to do federally, just convince congress to ban them... most things should not be decided by the executive.

of course your address, phone number, income, etc should all be private just because the phone companies shared this didn't mean it's a good idea; and they always provided a way to be unlisted

it's not needed, the fcc doesnt have the authority, keeping the government away from internet is a good thing

It's still open source and can be used; Just like open source refers to code, not all the design documents, discussion, plans, etc.

Why would they need to release the training data? that's nonsense.

Don't use an iphone if you don't like it, don't use tiktok if you don't like it. It's really very simple, the government has no role in either case.

I think it shows that politicians are short sighted and immoral - nothing new there. Freedom of speech is still incredibly valued and constantly fought for.

I think I'd take pass nothing ever...

They were concentration camps - that's the definition. Perhaps your conflating death camps with concentration camps.

For instance, who donated to NAACP during the civil rights era right?

The tax rate in the 50s was never paid; the current tax burden is extremely high.

Of course the government is willing to pay, it's a grift. The union is shaking down the taxpayer, the politicians are buying union votes with the taxpayer's money.

The majority of unionized workers in the united states are government employees. The union protects the incompetent, shields them from responsibilities, and argues against the public interest. Public sector unions are corruption and a plot against the citizenry.

Building more types of housing. It's simple - allow people to build, allow denser construction, allow smaller apartments, etc. Hell most of NYC would not be allowed to be built today because the apartments are too small -- yet these are the most desirable areas...

You mean like how you learned from others? Against their will?

Taxes are already too high.

You mean how the US regulated them out of business after giving them huge subsidies?

Capitalism is a system of private property and voluntary exchange. There's tons of accountability - people can stop buying and interacting with these companies.

And you think it's justified for others to subsidize the lifestyle of those who live in rural environment?

This is about government funding - it's not a free market solution, it's about the government being honest in how much it is subsidizing different areas. If the total cost was visible perhaps people would say - hey maybe people shouldn't live there.

Loan forgiveness like other tax incentives merely distort the market. Just pay the doctors what it costs to get them there, we are probably over paying by giving loan forgiveness.

Why should we have those things, with this technology everything will get cheaper and the standard of living will rise.

Price too high greed, price the same - collusion, price too low dumping.

This is nonsense - what they offer is constantly changing.

An absence of evidence for the argument against something being common is evidence.

Right to work is about being forced to be a member of a union.

All that has to happen is the agency propose a set of rules and let congress vote. If they can't get it through congress then it should be a rule.

Imagine the FCC goes to congress, proposes a new rule and then congresses passes it. Then there is debate and congress can't abdicate its responsibility.

Even though these institutions are facing internal problems, they're still better run and will probably out last whatever government is around them.

We should be lowering government spending and lowering taxes, not trying to spend more.
