You're just describing the horrors of capitalism. The difference is that the guy with the gold under a system of UBI can be voted out if they don't follow the will of the people.

No.

Top tier troll right there.

If they're starving for bread, then why don't they eat cake?

My guy, that's the information people use when they decide who to vote for. What exactly are you trying to make a point about? That no one should even listen to anything about politics or something?

One. Day.

Those three things may not be magic bullets, but pretending that there's nothing we can do is just lazy thinking. Obviously we don't have a time machine, so the next best is housing, healthcare, and rehab. All things that many homeless people would take advantage of if it existed. You are correct that not all will, but many, many will.

Don't let perfection become the enemy of progress.

Or security. Lots of cops moonlight as security guards.

It's such a forceful word that's lost all meaning in this day and age. Every time I see the word 'slam' in a headline I know literally nothing has been done about the problem.

Like, thanks Mozilla. You pointed a finger. What now?

It's sort of like a Rorschach test. What you see reveals things about you and your thoughts.

"Now there is also another bit where it acknowledges some were explicitly fighting to defend slavery. However since what those researchers are using is letters…"

You're really handwaving away what's called a primary source of information. Those letters are actually really important for understanding what was going on in the heads of the soldiers at that time. The fact that they were explicitly writing about the right to own slaves shows that they were aware of what explicit right they were fighting for.

I keep hearing how other states outside of CO are getting bent over on weed prices while I pay 60 for an ounce of decent stuff.
