So you believe the ability to produce food, which we've historically produced too much of and let go to waste, is just going to poof into thin air because a select portion of the population doesn't have money flow.

What a ridiculous statement.

>see just how quickly we’re trading our liberty as a society for the semblance of security.

Are you referencing the Benjamin Franklin quote here? Because the quote means the exact opposite of what it is typically used for.

The state has every right and responsibility to defend the general populace against threats in spite of personal wants and wishes.

>If the federal government rolled in with a heavy hand, we’re all stuck with whatever they think is best.

Yeah, like saving people's lives instead of entertaining some muppet's idea of what it means to be scientific.

Hint: If you're not listening to trained, professional scientists while attempting to sound scientific and curious, you're probably just performing an intellectual jerk off.

>than to have my entire financial life ruined.

You know we can just literally choose to not have this problem, instead of buying into other people's narratives.

>Not once did anyone raise any alarms about, maybe these young people shouldn't go into this line of work

Actually plenty of people do. It's just not a very thrilling subject to the U.S. populace.

The ability to produce food or manufacturer essential items doesn't suddenly disappear. If you think money flow suddenly makes things disappear remove your brain worm.

You know what can disappear, become depleted, or stretched to thin? Trained medical personal. And money flow can't replenish that resource.

> that needs to be weighed against destroying all of our economic institutions.

No it doesn't. Like the statement alone doesn't even have any credence, let alone following through with it.

Incredibly daft.

I don't have a stake in this argument. But nice signaling attempt.

Invoke-WebRequest doesn't even work correctly on windows for a large amount of very vanilla web functionality.

Powershell is a nice idea, but Microsoft is kidding themselves if they think it's even close to the alternatives.
