They'll sell your data up until you pay, right? So if I've had an account for 15 years, and then start paying, my 15 years of data is still at their disposal.
Education isn't the problem. It's self control. People think they prioritize rational decisions but if that were true, cigarettes would be long gone and global warming would be solved. We prioritize feelings which is why GOP loves to fear monger and push religion. Nothing scarier than a eternal suffering, especially since eternity lasts a long time.
In this case, we have two countries that have held a religious divide for decades based on who believes they're actually worshipping the correct people so they don't get sent to eternal suffering. Except, they're willing to kill for their religious text because they feel so deeply that theirs is superior.
How can we as outsiders possibly take the right actions when the irrational people are willing to commit genocide over their feelings brains?
Misdirection of values. We tell children there's a path, go to school, get a job, find a spouse, get married, get a house and have kids, but life isn't that simple. As life introduces chaos into the path, people fall off and some have a hard time getting back on. We've spent so much time on developing social media and marketing platforms that idolize those that make it through the path that no one looks out for those that fall off, making them feel isolated and unheard. Niche social media and mass marketing for weapons has made it easy for lone wolves to seek revenge on the system that let them down.
I think we can generally say the above is true across all political spectrums. The below might be rejected, but it's my view.
The right has made increasingly extreme statements to pull in these vulnerable people in order to make them feel heard, but it's just for show and votes. We've seen how politicians like Trump are really just using them for his own gains and as the NRA funnels more money into the "system", it really takes huge government action to curb this cycle.
This mentality is the same as saying Wikipedia is not a source. I agree, there are better regulations that need to be implemented, but the speed at which these things are being churned out and tuned is mind blowing. It's like if Wikipedia started branching off into sub categories that each have their own specialty, which can be more easily moderated, and then folded back into the more general system.
Not praising the war on terror, but we very quickly identified targets and let it be known that we were invading for these specific people.
Israel's handling of this feels like they're just leaving it at war against bad guys/guys we don't like very much/people that look at us funny/Jim from down the street.
Hey who knew that the best way to make money as a company is have very few workers and be an amazing talker that can dupe others into investing into your pile of shit. Oh wait, Holmes, Neuman and Bankman-fried already came up with that business model. The innovation on that model is just don't get caught.
It exists because it's ridiculous to expect government to know about every industry's ins and outs. Sometimes we benefit from lobbying as because some old law is affecting new processes or we need to support funding for something that we didn't know about.
The issue is when shit is mundane and worthless like the topic op presented. Lobbying against climate policies just means you're part of the problem. We understand enough to know the policies need to exist and it's a waste of everyone's time and money for these giant corps to lobby against them.
I go to concerts/look up who's touring with the band. It ends up being more than the subscription cost, but it goes to the venue and band rather than Spotify and Joe Rogan.
Banks are incentivised to buy homes. It increases the homes for sale and reduces supply.
Banks are deincentivized from building homes. It increases supply.
Increase supply, and the whole first bullet crumbles. They'll run out of money eventually, and if they don't, at least we have more homes on the market to balance out rent.
This is the real reason why Dems won't bring her in. People will make excuse after excuse. Your first main point was disproven and you just come up with another.
Banks have gotten high on their own power. They realize they can compete in residential real estate and starve out the market by artificially decreasing supply and hiking prices. They know the US loves circle jerking (American) auto makers, and will funnel tax money to make them survive.
Banks will want in on the action and will back automakers to follow suit, cut supply/artificially decrease it, and increase prices (more than they are).
In that scenario 1 of 2 things happens, 1) we pay more cash for cars that are necessary for American life 2) we lease/finance ridiculous prices and the bank makes even more profit.
It's win win for them to support auto industry and supply them with the real estate they're holding on the side lines.
Turns out every US neighborhood is a warzone because they have more than 12 guns and cans of WD40.
