Tax rates for wealthy folks are what, 10%? It makes a big difference if the majority of money that is made is distributed to the people via salaries, or whether it's profits and only 10% makes its way to the people.

How did this common-sense-defeating liability culture actually start in the US? From a European perspective it is really strange to be liable in situations like this.

That's also CalRobert's post, so it refers to the same person.

Why is Auracast not ready yet?

Or make employer paid health insurance count as income and therefore not tax-deductible.

I guess even a disposable vape has more computing power than the Lunar lander. (I don't know if that's more or less ridiculous than a key fob, but at least a key is not so disposable.)

Without paying for remote backups, can I just manage my own backup on my own hard drive, and restore it when I want to?

> Honestly I feel like you should only use kernel anticheat on a dedicated machine that's kept 100% separate from any of your personal data. That's a lot to ask of people, but you really shouldn't have anything you don't consider public data on the same hardware.

Yes, and at that point, you may as well use Windows for that machine.

Also, "extremely rich" is like "extremely successful in life" to a lot of people. But for the latter, emotional connections are also important.

Are you sure? Because last I checked OpenSnitch used different techniques from namespaces, that seemed more brittle to me.

I have built and used this setup before, and I would consider buying this anyway just to for the smoother UX.

I guess, from a Western-European perspective, the problem is that with the choice of Democrats and Republicans you get the choice between right-wing and ultra right-wing. Having right-wing politics that funnel money from the poor to the rich, or the tenants to the landlords, is in the interest of the financial backers of both parties. Messaging-wise, the Democrats have always been "more honest" (low bar, it's hard to be more dishonest/convoluted than Trump anyway), so maybe that's why Trump seems to come out ahead there.
