> The problem is Eumenes wants his school to be funded by everyone else's property tax.

Where did I say that? I said it'd be nice if one could route their state/property taxes to school of their choice. That seems pretty dang fair. Taxation without representation doesn't.

Lol I was talking to a friend who is a web dev and works for a large company in the social gaming space. He referred to the "Civility" team which is just censorship and content moderation, plus sending mental health notifications if you've been playing/spending too much. I'd rather dig holes or shovel shit over working for a mobile game companies "civility" team.

> Sunsetting supplier diversity efforts

Why the hell would a company pick vendors based on the sexuality or skin color of the owner or whatever?

America's poor use EBT/food stamps to buy massive amounts of junk food, including billions on soda. Those same people are almost 100% on ACA or state health insurance plans and milking the tax payer on treatment for obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. There is no way, in my mind, it is feasible to fund these lifestyles and provide the treatment for it. Its absolutely insane.

Good, these things are for dumb people anyways. Don't worry tho, they'll be back and more convincing.

Okay, now apply those guidelines to vulnerable members of society who purchase groceries via EBT/food stamps. I don't think soda, ultra processed foods, or candy would count?
