Why cant you afford it? Didn’t you think about how you were going to pay it back when you signed the papers agreeing that you would pay it back?

Air pollution is about protecting an individuals property, not the air itself: lungs, orchards, fields, etc. Air is simply how the property damage was delivered. So, no one owns the air, but property damage dealt through the air should be pursued in court, like any other property damage.

And let’s not kid ourselves that the government has real incentive to reduce pollution. Overnight, someone like Trump gets put in charge and happily encourages the poisoning of the environment and individuals can’t sue in court, because the government said it was ok to pollute.

Pollution is a property rights issue, don’t need anything beyond private property rights and a court system to cover that. Price fixing is caused by government created barriers to entry, artificially restricting competition. In other words, price fixing is a problem caused by government overreach, so obviously government isn’t the solution.

I don’t disagree, I just hope people of different views can come together and see that decentralizing the power structure might be worth considering if you don’t like the amount of power we handed one man. That means cutting the federal government and moving those programs to local government, private charities, or the bin.

Open your eyes. Corporations already heavily influence policy. Stop making that possible by decentralizing the power!

Read the comments and note the downvotes, sir. I’m definitely in the minority here. Therefore I would dare suggest it is in fact you who are the thoughtless parrot here. Governments are corrupt and incompetant organizations, and the bigger they become, the more corrupt and incompetant they are. If you truly are concerned that a single man can wreck such damage, you need to understand that is only possible because people like you have built up an organization that holds far too much power. The obvious solution is to shrink the scope of that organization so that a single maniac can’t do so much damage.

Big government is to blame for Trump having so much power. Learn, or be doomed to see history repeat itself.

This is why executive orders are dumb.

vote against this and save us all from this idiocy.

Nope. There was just more people lined up to vote for more idiocy. We failed the world. I’d say I’m sorry, but I don’t think that’ll help. This is America.

America needs to focus on decentralizing power. That way, when the other side wins, they can’t do much damage. Biggest problem America faces is too much centralized control.

I mean. Babies drink just milk and they still poop.

Based on OPs experience this is the best solution.

If they want to learn, I found plex + plexamp was pretty easy to get going.

Someone should start a thread about what communities we miss most (if there isn’t one already)

My understanding is that they consider it ok to kill someone who committed a heinous crime but not ok to kill someone who is completely innocent.

What about on demand heaters?

Dozens!

Contributions that aren’t explicitly Marxist are heavily down voted. Overall the atmosphere is less neutral and less helpful.

ELI5…what’s leftism?
