A GM at a restaurant chain I worked for tried that once. Then the homeless guy hit a customer in the head with a 2x4 he found out back and the GM was fired pretty immediately. He was giving the homeless guy free food in exchange for taking the trash from the back door to the dumpster.

It's wildly illegal to pay someone in food.

Dialogue existing in the John Wick films is totally unrealistic. The next film should just be him saying "What?" For 90 minutes with a high pitched squeal in the background

He didn't file the paperwork soon enough in some states, so he's still on the ballot. He sued at least one state to get himself removed even though he missed the deadline and ballots were already being printed.

This may be a controversial take, but maybe we shouldn't surveil children in bathrooms full stop.

It's just people not finishing videos. Buffered but never played. In aggregate it adds up to a lot.

No, if you're low income and don't get healthcare through your employer it's pretty fucking awesome compared to what came before it, which was "oh, well you see the hospital exit there? Keep going until you hit the gutter and die there kthnx bye. Oh, you have insurance? Well your provider says this is a pre-existing condition, so refer to my original statement."

The subsidies on the ACA marketplace make insurance feasible, and the restrictions on pre-existing conditions make it actually useful. Even after being gutted.

You're spreading misinformation that could legitimately cause people harm by not seeking out coverage through Obamacare. Could it be better? Of course.

This. Leftist candidates won't be viable until far right candidates aren't. We're choosing between "I'll be a dictator" vs "democracy will continue" and the fascist is a likely outcome. The window has to move left to "democracy will continue" vs "maybe we can make things better". If you're holding out for a communist to be elected, that ain't happening in our lifetime. The revolution is not coming. Revolution only comes when life is utterly intolerable and the capitalists know better than to let that happen.

Our only real hope is to shift things that way over generations.

IQs have been steadily increasing. Your premise is flawed.
