Harris Says Privatizing Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac Could Add $1,200 To Mortgage Costs: Is She Right?
  • Privatization helps people who can afford to not be in a situation where they are choosing between only shitty options. The point of a (good) public system is that it's a consistent, good baseline for ALL people regardless of their socio-economic status.

    So in your example, sure, if you can afford it you can put your kid into private school or simply move but what about your neighbors? Can they as well? Society functions best when everyone has fair equity.

    What about clicking a checkbox means I'm human? How does Cloudflare determine I'm human from that?
  • The newest models already know whether you're a bot or not before the checkbox loads. A massive majority of the internet goes through Cloudflare so by the time you land on a site you already have what Cloudflare dubs a Bot Score based on your behavior across the web.

    Checking the box really just confirms what they already know. There's a second form which I'm sure is even more prevalent than the checkbox that renders nothing, requires no user action, but can prevent form submission if you fail the check.

    Biden rips Trump as ‘Donald Dump’ while signaling unity with Harris
  • Honestly I'm not for this. There are so many valid ways to attack Trump and simply name calling is unnecessary and stooping to their level.

    Not even a good name.

  • I mean in their terms a recession has a very specific meaning and does not preclude a large number of people suffering an affordability crisis.

    Tim Walz’s net worth is less than the average American’s
  • Well healthcare up here in Canada is kinda fucked up unless your issue is critical. Their point was that they want to be able to skip the line because they are wealthy instead of trying to fix the system. Still idiotic.

    Do you approve sex work? Why or why not?
  • Yes because it's none of my business what other people do with their autonomy and they should be protected in their right to do what they want to do with their autonomy

  • The argument I've heard from my parents is why should I pay for public healthcare when I can afford my own private healthcare.

    Which is so incredibly tone deaf
