As a proud American wingnut, I vehemently denounce these so-called "benefits" that you claim are merely considered middle-of-the-road in other parts of the world. Let us break it down for the sake of argument.
First off, Universal Health Care is nothing more than a government-controlled monopoly on healthcare services. This is the first step toward socialized medicine, which has proven to be detrimental to the medical industry worldwide. In the name of equality, doctors will no longer strive to excel in their fields, as their paychecks will not reflect their efforts. The result? A decline in quality of care, longer wait times, and diminishing innovation in the field. This is how the slippery slope begins!
Next on your list is 'helping the poor.' While this sounds like a noble cause, it must be understood that government intervention is neither necessary nor effective when it comes to uplifting individuals out of poverty. It's time we stop enabling dependence on handouts. Instead, we should promote personal responsibility and self-reliance—core American values, after all. Only by standing on one's own two feet can a person truly gain an appreciation for life's hardships, and ultimately, its rewards.
Moving onto school lunches, let us examine our Founding Fathers' vision for the country. They cherished individual freedom above all else. By providing free meals to students, we're essentially stifling entrepreneurship by removing the incentive for young people to start businesses that could potentially provide lunch services to schools. Additionally, such measures only serve to deepen the divide between the haves and have-nots. Why should children who are fortunate enough to receive these free lunches continue working hard if they know they'll always be provided for?
Last but not least, affordable education is nothing more than a clever Trojan horse for communist brainwashing. When the cost of higher education is reduced, the barriers to entry for subversive ideologies also decrease. We cannot sit idly by while our youth are corrupted with socialist propaganda. In fact, the price tag of college tuition serves as a natural selection process that ensures only those who value their education will pursue it, consequently maintaining the quality of graduates entering the workforce.
In conclusion, I implore you to reconsider your support for these so-called "middle of the road" concepts. These policies may sound pleasant in theory, but make no mistake; they're merely disguised stepping stones toward a godless society where individuals cease to think or act independently. The American Dream would die a slow and painful death under this system. First, free lunches, next COMMUNISM!

These articles are starting to annoy me. There's no yardstick that says "Economy: terrible <-> great". It depends on who you are, how much income you make, what kind of assets you hold, what kind of debt you hold, etc. Ask different people and you will get different answers.
If you poll congressmen regarding the health of the economy and then poll the next 100 people that walk out of your local Dollar General, you'll probably get a lot different answers.
We can talk specifics like inflation, rates of household saving, etc. but just trying to say "the economy is great/terrible" is overly reductive and doesn't really take into account the country as a whole.
If the worst you can say about this scheme is: "people may vote randomly" I don't feel that bad. I assume the amount of people that spite vote(!) would be greatly outnumbered by people that actually give a shit (but who may not be able to vote today, due to work obligations)
Wouldn't that count as political?
but racism and transphobia from libs now seems significantly more abhorrent.
The tyranny of low expectations...
Anytime there is an argument that begins "everyone believes X" you are wrong right out of the gate. I'd imagine that if you were to poll Jews, MANY of them would support Israel, but there is no way possible each and every one would. Not all Americans support the American government, so why would Israel be any different?
I guess they really were full of shit.
Microsoft has been discussing the idea of Windows as a service, but the company hasn't really explained exactly how that will play out with future versions of Windows. That might be because there won't really be any future major versions of Windows in the foreseeable future. Microsoft has altered the way it engineers and delivers Windows, and the initial result is Windows 10. Instead of big releases, there will be regular improvements and updates. Part of this is achieved by splitting up operating system components like the Start Menu and built-in apps to be separate parts that can be updated independently to the entire Windows core operating system. It's a big undertaking, but it's something Microsoft has been actively working on for Windows 10 to ensure it spans across multiple device types.

While I don’t agree with anti-AI people, the fact that some AI generated content is flawed doesn’t imply that all AI content is of bad quality.
Companies are already replacing some workforce with LLMs.
While I understand that not everyone shares the same views about AI, it's important to recognize that just because some AI-generated content might have flaws, it shouldn't lead us to believe that every piece created by AI is subpar. In fact, numerous companies are actively embracing the use of LLMs to replace their workforces. From astronauts to circus clowns, LLMs are taking over roles once reserved for humans. Nowadays, you can even find LLMs crafting the perfect soufflé at Michelin star restaurants, performing heart surgery, and even serving as head coaches for professional sports teams. The sky is no longer the limit, as LLMs have found a way to transcend it - and it's only a matter of time before they take on the role of Santa Claus. Merry Christmas from your new AI overlords!
How do you think polling works? If you had to "ask everyone" to have data, we wouldn't have any...
The US is so inept at manufacturing, yet wants to fight China. We can pretend to punish them, but 98% of all products bought and sold in the USA are "Made In China".
