Every person and organization should police themselves.

>Secondly, both major US parties serve the CEO class;

Every time someone says or implies that “both parties are the same” a hungry child gets called a parasite and kicked out of a free and/or reduced price school lunch program.

Forget 50%, the US Navy built five rigid airships.

ZR-1 through ZR-5.

The only one that wasn’t destroyed by a crash that also killed most if not all of its crew was ZR-3 and its history is filled with so many near-disasters that it was pure chance that the rigid airships program didn’t have a 100% loss rate.

You think it is inappropriate to live in a fire prone area.

Your arbitrary line of appropriateness is wrong.

My arbitrary line of appropriateness is right.

It is inappropriate to live anywhere where there is a fire, earthquake, blizzard, sink hole, volcano, heat wave, tornado, and hurricane risk but also where there is not ample local (as in constrained to a single independent self-governing body) water, energy, and food resources.

Only those parts are truly less risky parts.

People can offer, graciously or not, you something for free.

They can then change their mind.

You are not entitled to it, you never had any “right” to it, and no force real or imagined in the universe will make that so.

I believe that payment in “exposure” is exploitative bullshit and many of my favorite video makers rely on revenue from YouTube as a not-insignificant portion of their income, so I pay.

No.

Every time someone says or implies "bOtH sIdEs" a hungry child gets kicked out of a free and reduced school lunch program and called a parasite.

Yes.

We can talk about what kinds of ads are appropriate but the right to use YouTube without paying either in money or time spent watching ads has never, will never, and does not currently exist.

>If you do this, most of the goods will be used by people who are not poor,

Why does it seem as though some people believe there is an infinite supply of rich people?

Income disparity is so great that the cost of parking is irrelevant to the mythical army of rich people waiting off to the side for parking prices to come down.

I'm not even in the 99%, I'm in the 97% and I don't give a fuck about parking. I'm driving downtown to buy a $600 Barbour jacket from Orvis. I don't care about $20 for parking and I'm not coming downtown more often if parking is $0.

>Most people would never say that we should make bread free. Or that we should make milk free.

If you are poor milk and bread should 100% be free.

Support for SNAP (food stamps) routinely and consistently polls at >70%.

People who assert what you just did are in the extreme minority.

I didn't even have to read the article to know that these are the bible humping jesus freaks out in west Texas from Amarillo down to San Angelo.

In addition to their freedumb risking the lives of others, getting measles is one of the worst things that can happen to a child. Those kids are going to get sick, more often, more easily, and more severely for the rest of their lives.
