This post title gave me brain cancer

Yeah, who uses filler words in writing?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The filler words here changed the meaning of the title such that it has to be read several times and the meaning inferred.

Filler words that don’t make the product incoherent are fine.

I assumed they were there as an alternative to tALKinG LIkE tHiS and there was something stupid said in the news that I missed.

OP is asking a genuine question?

It’s incoherent so I have no idea. They could also be asking why the government isn’t nationalized the way power plants are.

There is no news link, so that’s unlikely. But it also doesn’t specify what country they’re in or which government / level of government they’re talking about.

In Québec, power comes from Hydro-Quebec and is owned by the government.

Hundreds of people live in the streets while there is like 13'000 appartments on Airbnb.

Makes to much sense.

We prefer to privatize the gains, and socialize the losses. That way when the electric grid fails, the multibillion dollar corporate utility companies can be bailed out by their customers
