It uses Wi-Fi and has sms fallback and works with iMessage

I would go back to android if they had iMessage. That’s really what’s keeping me on iPhone.

I like having Siri in my car when she works. Like when my phone properly wirelessly connects. But when it doesn’t, I hate it, and would be better without it.

Also why the hell can’t CarPlay use the radio, when the car has a radio. Why can’t those two things talk to each other. Fucking dumb.

Better fire management of national parks. Time to start doing controlled burns.

Zoning reforms sound great.

One of my biggest issues with increasing housing is that many Americans store their wealth in their house. Home ownership is the retirement plan for many, or the generational wealth plan. So how can we build housing without devaluing existing housing?

The answer is to build more multi-family housing, which doesn’t really compete with single family housing for price. The former is mostly for rent, while the later is for owning.

I desperately want to know which of my opinions are outright wrong. Not just lacking nuance, but wrong

It will absolutely help with high property values. It will help them go higher. Same with student debt forgiveness.

For the record, I’m in favor of both

Tons of US fascists fought in Europe. From their perspective, they weren’t fighting against fascism, they were fighting against Germany.

Yeah really like who are these people who weren’t going to vote for Joe? Are they stupid?

Does Biden actually want to take my truck? Like I never considered that.

Short term rentals would be fine if companies like Airbnb weren’t getting a cut. Like they existed on Craigslist and as actual bead-and-breakfasts way before airbnb et al existed.

Sure but all those humans need an insane amount of farmland that dwarfs the amount of land they need for housing. And that’s ignoring meat consumption.

With a huge population, beef consumption is insane and is destroying the world.

With a small population, it isn’t a big deal.

This is why I get so mad when people say “we don’t have an overpopulation problem, we have a resource allocation problem”.

No. There are not supposed to be this many fucking humans. Where the fuck are the animals supposed to live???

We need to return to preindustrial population levels so the animals can too

Why do they need immigrants? There are people here now who need jobs, they can do it.

If I hear “immigrants will accept lower wages” one more fucking time I’m going to lose it, that’s just an intentional creation of a lower class, it’s feudalistic and coercive. Same thing with farm labor. Pay a reasonable amount and local people will do it.

Why is the right becoming more popular? What changed?

Sure does!

You mean the people who are making a sequel?

Can someone explain to me why the border shouldn’t be closed except to legal travel?

Because it sounds to me like illegal travel SHOULD be stopped. People immigrating illegally are working for super low wages, increasing supply of labor and therefore lowering demand. It’s bad for workers. I know people say “Americans won’t do those jobs” but that’s because they are paying nothing since they can get highly desperate exploitable people. Labor should be on the side of restricted immigration.

Note I’m not talking about asylum, but the USA shouldn’t be the only place people go for asylum. It’s my impression that most immigrants are economic anyways.

Why are there so many pedos among the rich
