Awesome! Honestly that's more important to me than her being trans. I just assumed she'd be another lawyer. But having real jobs represented is great!

But this seems to claim it solves some practical problem with parties. I don't know what that problems.

I understood that. I'm asking about the problem with parties that this helps people fix.

That would be the ideal for meeting new people, would it not?

Offspring would be the term.

You underestimate how much of current productivity is being hoarded by the top. When 3 people at the top have as much wealth as the bottom half the US. There is plenty to go around.

I've read the whole thing and I feel like there's something that's just assumed that everyone understands.

What exactly is the problem? Why do we care how many people know each other or don't? I'm so confused.

Overall when Manitoba did one of the largest ubi projects, they best that came out was that productivity fell less than expected.

That was not the best that came out of it. It also had lower poverty rates, better health outcomes, better grades for kids in school, and several other social and economic benefits. Basically nothing was worse because of it, and lots of things improved.

I certainly do. You got the point perfectly.

It's my pointless, useless, impossible, imaginary battle against the world itself. But hey. You don't fight the fight because you can win. You fight the fight that needs fighting.

Do you really believe I don't know individual words are used in different ways?

I thought it would be obvious, that I just believe useing words with the least ambiguous and narrowest meaning available, is a more clear way to communicate.

In this case offspring would undeniably be the term to fit the meaning parents want to convey. Continuing to use child is a sign their concept of their offspring hasn't kept up with the current reality. The fact that this behavior is common dosen't mean it's correct and immune from criticism.

Both it, and your attitude of infallibility, are just two of the many windmills I fight against.

I don't fly helicopters either. But when I see one stuck in a tree, I know that's not right.
