This all presumes your arrogant take is correct. But please, continue your lonely war against platitudes by using platitudes. I just won’t see it.

Take your topic policing elsewhere, please.

You don’t get to declare a related topic as out of bounds like that.

Its not contextually relevant to the situation of the article.

The societal indictment is exactly how I read it. Why would people take it the worst possible way?

That’s not how I read it. Se my other reply.

That argument applies to virtually the entire country, zoned specifically to sell cars, with few recent exceptions. I’m not blaming the mom for that situation, I’m not sure why anyone would think that. This is just another death that seems to at least partially implicate big oil, big auto, and corrupt politicians.

I don’t understand the downvotes, it’s a reasonable observation.

I think you have confused several things. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism

At first I was annoyed, until I realized “drop” is an antagonym.

Why simp for American healthcare?

The risks of sodium aren’t universal (some people appear to have immunity), and were exaggerated by the sugar industry.

Hmm, that’s a good point. Washington finally relented, they were a hold-out for a long time.

Everyone should also get a procedurally-generated theme song.

Military, sure, but driver’s licenses are state-level, not federal. Health care has been using birthdate like a password (one that is largely publicly available) for way too long now. At least financial institutions can use account numbers and financial history and code words, but even all that isn’t great.

It’s a messy patchwork, but I think at the time of the creation of the SSA, the US may have still thought of itself as a land of second chances. IBM numbering Holocaust victims probably didn’t help the idea of a national ID, nor did the victim narrative of groups like the NRA.

I’m not sure if it’s possible not to have a national ID anymore, so denial of it just forces a terribly kludgy implementation from whatever is around.

Americans explicitly didn’t want a national ID.

JFC we JUST started! Give it time!

That’s not at all the assertion you made.

What I haven’t seen was any effective debunking that moved the needle.

Not what I’ve observed in the last 20 years for either side, but I guess we’ll see.
