There should be a civil service job called “mother” and women who have children and stay at home to take care of their home and children should be paid a living wage with benefits and retirement through our tax dollars. Conservatives, you say want more children to use as wage slaves and fewer abortions? Okay, prove it. Start paying women. Women have been doing unpaid labor for centuries. Give them pay and benefits and watch how many of them are willing to have kids.

FreeTube is a good replacement for YouTube on PC and NewPipe is good on Android phones.

I use F-Droid and Aurora Store on my phone and replaced the Google apps, that came preloaded on the phone, with FOSS apps. NewPipe on my phone and FreeTube on my PC to replace YouTube. I don’t use Gmail. My Google account is on a Proton account. After I am sure I have all my desired apps switched over to email sign in, I will delete the Google account. I am also switching my Proton mail for Tuta mail. Proton is on the wrong side. I also dumped Microsoft over a year ago. I have been on Linux since then. I have avoided FaceBook for over a decade and never maintained a Twitter account.

No, I point that out because I also lived in Hawaii for 6 years and when they finally built their light rail system on Oahu, they built hundreds of parking spaces around the station. They provided no bicycle parking and no commercial storefront space. Convenience stores, super markets, doctor’s offices, dental clinics, and maybe a small police outpost are all handy things to have next to the station. Last time I checked an online map, the parking spaces are hardly ever used. Who takes a car to a train station and leaves it so they can ride the train?

So, like every train station I have ever seen in Japan?
