Wow, pro-fascism takes from LifeHacker, how spicy. All in the “good of the public” right? It’s the government’s job to prevent people from harming each other. It’s not the government’s job to regulate every vice that might cause future harm. That shit doesn’t work. It’s never worked. We tried it. It blew up in our…

No, no they aren’t (also super professional to call someone reading your blog and trying to have a discussion a “tool”).

It is as freely made as any other decision. NO decision is freely made because they are all influnced by our genetics, our history, our environment, and our situation.

Regardless, government has no right getting in the way of those unfree decisions and government’s just make it worse.

You can’t manipulate people into thinking something that is an objective fact. The only tool here is you. You can have your tastes manipulated, but the fact that it is a matter of taste just is.

Oh grow the fuck up. This isn’t about “those in power” pitting people against each other. This is about consumers repeatedly and aggressively sending the message with their wallets that they care more about ticket price than space. The airline isn’t trying to make you fight anyone. They’re giving you exactly what you…

Maybe you don’t like the government telling you what to do, but currently the cigarette companies are the ones telling you what to do.

If you are addicted, making it illegal will not help you stop. If that were the case, no one would be using drugs.

The authoritarian regulation of what amounts to a moral decision or taste or should never taken on by government. The government should not be involved in any personal morals. The total legalization of all recreational drugs from alcohol to tobacco to cocaine....

There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism

“you just need to pick up the damn phone. I understand that a lot of people have anxiety around doing so”

I fucking hate the term “late stage capitalism”. Such arrogance to assume you can predict the course of history, to assume that capitalism has reached a late stage, and we’re on the cusp of some other system. Jameson and Marx can both go stuff their bullshit theories where they’ll never see the light of day again.

Restaurant owners are big boys and girls who are free to decide if UberEats and Seamless make sense for them. I will continue to use those services and not feel even slightly guilty about it.

If a place offers delivery, and you still choose Seamless, you’re not only costing the restaurant, but (most likely) yourself with all of those delivery fees.

Free market works. We don’t have anything close to free market and never did in healthcare

Actually Bitcoin is 100% secure if its stored correctly. My Bitcoin is stored offline meaning no hacker could ever get to it. Its called “cold storage”. If you don’t store your Bitcoin properly its your fault if you lose it. Its the first thing everyone should learn before buying Cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin isn’t real? You think that paper the government prints till no end is real? Atleast like Gold there is a finite number of Bitcoins that can be mined. You’ll be whistling a different tune when the dollar collapses.

I know many people are up in arms about this but I never saw what all the fuss was about to force employers to offer it in the first place. They are choosing to offer health benefits as part of employment. It seems to me they should have the choice about whether or not to financially support something they find…

As a physician, I am the first to admit that the cost structure of American medicine is totally screwed up and for a multitude of reasons. Many of you may not get how government intervention into the system is what causes (in my opinion) the biggest issue with pricing... unless we go to single payer system (which…

Yes , initial costs will go up, but much like Lasic eye surgery, the cost will come way down once its open to the free market.

So, we’ll get price competition from rival colonoscopy providers, and stop subsidizing other people’s recreational sex.
