Well the civil war pretty clearly established this and if we try we would absolutely have to fight and win a multi year war during which in addition to millions or tens of millions of deaths there would be ample pretext to not count our votes. We would seem folks herded into death camps which nukes would insure nobody would liberate.

Our military would be firmly on the side of compliance with the law which they voted for 2 to 1 and we would lose.

You can vote so you can vote for local people. You can even sometimes vote between 2 Republicans to try to get the less shitty one and also vote to send a message

Pricing is far more complicated with the old having Medicare, many of the poorest having subsidies some free, and others a range of plans mostly at least somewhat subsidized by employers.

We are a fat unhealthy folk in a country where a single hospitalization can run you 10-100k and financially ruin you due in no small part to cartel pricing.

So your various medical providers have negotiated given rates for given things that are less special rates and more what you might consider normal pricing whereas if you are not protected by such a “deal” you may pay several times more at hundreds of percent profit for the provider with the expectation that you pay up front for services or die essentially so long as your death isn’t immediately caused by their immediate neglect. Eg you can’t be allowed to actually bleed out for lack of a stitch but you can be allowed to get septic and then be admitted after it’s really too late to do anything but try to bill your family 100k and steal any inheritance from your estate if any.

So you are incentivized to buy at least the shittiest high deductible plan with an 8000 deductible just to have access to sane pricing, get treated and then billed, and limit max damage if things go bad even if you expect to not actually get much direct benefit. Plus favorable tax treatment paid in.

Whilst some may choose to risk it being literally incapable of paying a subsidized 100-300 for the shittiest plan possible means that you are poor in a state which doesn’t choose to subsidize the poor and likely illiquid. Most people in America don’t have 2500 to cover am emergency of any variety. This is true of nearly 100% of the bottom half

Furthermore anyone who needs a colonoscopy needs other things like annual checkups and medication.

The number of people who can cash pay the sucker uninsured rate but not shitty insurance is basically zero

Voting third parties don’t put any butts in seats and therefore do nothing. For example green has literally NEVER put someone in a federal office iin their 40 year existence.

In the recycling example its a sham because the net effect of all individual parties recycling is bubkis whereas with voting the net effect of another 1% getting to the polls turns the entire thing around.

We are absolutely at fault for not understanding the meaning of our choices…

They aren’t here for regime change they are here for PR points and to distract from domestic problems.

A) They aren’t going to ever tell you it’s time because your needs never meant anything to them B) There will be no weapons air dropped to you because your revolution is a non-goal for them. C) The remaining military is still going to be mostly alive and capable of machine gunning you down again D) The new leader will be as bad as the old in fact it will probably be one of his deputies who have already been largely running the show

We can’t do that

The candidates job isn’t to teach you that allowing Hitler to come to power is a worst case scenario nor is it their fault if you fail to realize that. The candidate got one vote just like you

We aren’t going to get to have any elections that count because of protest votes. Meanwhile the number of current and upcoming dead kids from loss of usaid alone is well into 6 figures. You killed both children and democracy in America because you’re stupid.

Why would you vote for a party which has never and will never hold federal office?

Nobody who can’t afford insurance can afford 2400

Can we cause essentially a run on the bank by having 40% of us move all our liquid assets to euros at once and continuing to move incoming money to cash?

He would be 65 in 2029 when he actually took office. Can we get someone who is about 20 years younger?

You’ve identified why. If you are able get some tools doing stuff yourself is in general fun

You’re thinking of a different commentor I did not say that

I meant there is no particular reason to expect a gui configuration tool for a gui Window manager that isn’t expected to be dynamic to have a cli.

Generally the use case is always maximize this window or always put it on a particular workspace etc.

If it has any path to being addressable via bash you would check its dbus interface if any.

The same feature on say i3wm also isn’t a CLI nor is it any more dynamic.

Windows rules and wmctrl don’t have identical use cases although there could be overlap

you cannot use it via bash you configure it and it applies actions to windows as they are created you cannot use it at all where plasma isn’t your desktop and as of wayland you cannot use a different window maanager with KDE plasma as wayland doesn’t have the idea of window managers.

I don’t think you are ever again going to have an agnostic way to do this

ya should have written money

it was completely hidden under a pile of made-up conspiracy bullshit

This is basically bullshit. I mean for ANY given thing you can imagine existing there is 5 weirdos on facebook somewhere but the substance and prevailing bitch fest as expressed by 99% of people bitching was perfectly comprehensible normal shit that you are completely retconning.

Linux desktop would be a lot further if the gnome project had died around the time 3.0 rolled out.
