No, the vast majority of the states still have slave labor. The 13th amendment aboloshed slavery "except as punishment for a crime." Last I checked only six states had changed their state constitutions to abolish all slavery, even in prison, though several others had ballot measures to do the same, so maybe there's more now.

He's not cured, he's being treated. And he's not just being released to the generap public, he's still going to be living in a group home, with managed care and accountability.

You realize he's going to be in a group home, right? It's not like he's just being let out on the streets.

Are you sure it works on Firefox Beta? When I try to add the User-Agent Switcher, it just downloads the .xpi file and won't install it.

That just makes them better! Like when you eat lo mein and get to pretend the pieces of cabbage are little grubs. It's the best part!

I think their point is more that it's easier for an undocumented individiual to disappear than for a documented one. They're already undocumented, so they're used to operating without going through proper channels. They have no connection to the vehicle, and thus no insurance, and thus the person being hit has no recourse for getting their own vehicle fixed.

Now, letting them get licenses would presumably come with them also getting insurance, but I feel like this is just a band-aid on a much bigger problem.

I mean, yeah, that's why I said it wouldn't work. Maybe if there was a website that was big enough that it would drive people to use non-WEI browsers if they couldn't access it, but any website big enough to do that would also want WEI for ad venue.

Hm, can we make an anti-WEI movement? Have a bunch of websites block browsers using WEI, to force it away?

I know that won't actually work, but a man can dream...

They're attempting to push what is essentially DRM onto the internet, so websites can block you if you don't use their special browser.

For books, I get it. I feel a deep compulsion to finish any book I start, whether I like it or not.

For television shows? Nah, I'll stop right away if I get bored.

But as a martyr the government can paint him as being only about racism, not about economics.

That doesn't make it not a conspiracy, it makes it not a conspiracy theory. Instead, it is a factual conspiracy that is just not well known.
