Insurance companies are a leech on the economy with predatory practices to reject claims. Single payer healthcare would fix so much wrong with us healthcare its actually ridiculous we haven't done it yet. ACA slowed the bleeding but didn't address the problem thoroughly enough. I really don't care if my taxes go up by twice what I put into healthcare (there is no way they could, but still) I'd still endorse it knowing Americans could get regular and reliable healthcare again.

It's less that I hate free games, it's more that a lot of games on Steam that are free are either the freemium model, where they are basically mobile games with inapp purchases you're expected to buy to make progress, or some some shovelware trash that's a one trick pony and generally just a knock off of something more popular and better executed.

Yes there are examples of great free to play games, but overall so many of them on steam are not worth downloading and clog up the trending list since if someone really wanted their game full of microtransactions to get noticed, they can just work a bot net to register new accounts and download the game to cause the steam algorithm to pick it up and put it on the trending page despite it having a poor user count.

When your core gameplay loop is all of 15 minutes long that feeds into a 40-60 hour repetitive grind to unlock a slightly better item, new title or recolored cosmetic, combined with a complete absence of quality or competent writing, innovative mechanics while it's apparent most of the budget went into marketing and pre-rendered cutscenes that can be just watched on youtube, yeah it's bad to give potential customers a 30 minute demo that displays everything your game is without hinting any additional benefit for purchasing the full game.

Can we prove it's his kids and not some cuck affair? Or so i heard.

Effective Initiatives that result in meaningful laws the public wanted are not broad. They should have a laser focus on the EXACT issue the public wants dealt with. No ambiguity, no room for misinterpretation from legislators and politicians and definitely no room for lobbyists and interested third parties to twist and push the resolution to something that doesn't align with what the public signed on.

If the EU picked this up and tailored it into a law, there's a very good if not entirely likely chance they would just legislate that games-as-service must stay active for XX amount of years before binaries or some other tool is released so others can host their own private server. This doesn't address the core concerns people are claiming they have, such as just having offline singleplayer play or cutting back on games as service options, and still leaves in all the loopholes that malicious parties could use to attack and devalue software and force it to early sunset so they can profit without having to pay the original developer of said software.

Watch the actual video. He nailed it on the head just whats wrong with the initiative and made a second video going into more detail how such an initiative not only doesn't do what its stated to do, but could maliciously be exploited by bad actors legally can profit if companies are forced to give up binaries.

If you're against games as a service model... Then just don't buy those games. If you're against single player games having required online, this initiative doesn't solve that issue in the slightest.

Maybe if we're lucky a bunch of his stupid base will emigrate there early thinking they'll be able to setup for him.

Western elites do steal, true. But to no where near the same extent. We'd have trillionaires in the west if they stole as much as Russian oligarchs do.

Russians have been brainwashed for centuries by their elites to thinking corruption is the natural order of things.

They can't believe that western nations can have shows of wealth and quality of life standards they do, because that means the way they and their ancestors have lived for decades isn't how people are supposed to live.

Their elites steal everything, ensure education standards are low as possible so their workers can just barely manage to operate in a factory, on a farm or in a mine, and then encourage them to stay drunk as possible during their waking hours.

And then they wonder why Russians who manage to emigrate west never go home and sooner or later cut all contact with their backwards motherland.

Frankly if it hadn't been for the advent of Nuclear Weapons, and Soviets stealing designs for them from America, Russia never would have been a Superpower at all and probably collapse in on itself in the 60s.

Honestly Russia is getting off easy in this case, if Ukrainian invaders had the same barbaric attitude the Russians had moving into Eastern Ukraine, we'd be seeing a lot of fucking warcrimes, rapes and looting as the army moved through. It's possible there are isolated incidents of that, but on the whole I've not heard any reports, where in summer 2022 it was a weekly fucking thing for video to pop up of Russians doing just that.

Bruh indeed. If Ukrainians were half as bad as Russians have been in their strikes, Belgorad and Kursk would be flattened rubble, St. Petersburg would be full of husks of buildings and there wouldn't be a single intact hospital within the city limits of Moscow. But yeah, please go on how Ukraine is attacking civilians.

Its not that simple sadly, saplings and young trees capture significantly less than older mature trees. We're talking a 30+ year return on that carbon investment. Planting trees and restoring wilderness for carbon capture and sustainable ecosystems is good, ripping them up every 20 to 40 years for biofuels is not. If your end goal is sustainable energy, nuclear, wind or even solar would be better use of that space and still probably have land left over for forestey renewal. The reason nuclear is the ecologically best choice is because it uses the least amount of land per kwh produced, leaving more land that can be used for conservation and long term carbon capture efforts.
