The only problem with the sentiment of "just don't use it" is that many of these stores have like one manned checkout vs a dozen sel checkouts. Not about to sit in line with the carts full of stuff when I need to grab two things.

News channels have been using YouTube to upload clips and segments for many many years now. But you probably don't like YouTube because it's big bad to folk like you.

Prove your claim. What book? Where? Or are you just making this up or maybe repeating some bullshit some other moron said?

It's not exactly that I'm buying into it disappearing is a foregone conclusion - just that if something doesn't happen to proactively protect and improve the system, than yeah, it's in big trouble in the next decade. And my personal bias puts my main concern on the people who rely on it for disability insurance since they are some of the most vulnerable. Of course I want what I paid into it myself later in life, but at least I can see it helping those close to me for some consolation if it doesn't.

Thanks for the link what a great breakdown. I knew it was bad for him but it's so much worse than I thought!

Agreed. I even have found myself thinking over years that some people in my life would have been better off if they had found religion, though I am not myself religious.

Millennial here and I have a few family members that rely on SSDI so I just like that my contributions support them. I'll figure things out myself for retirement. But an estimated 7.8 million people rely on SSDI and taking that away from them could very well be death sentences. We have to do better.

Generally curious how many people that have clung to Windows largely due to gaming have made the switch or plan to make the switch now that Valve has done such great work with Proton. I know I am certainly considering it and this is the kind of thing that will expedite that.

That is amazing. Of course straight to the pearl clutching from Fox.

I stayed off of Reddit near totally the first month or so and have been visiting it more again lately and there is a definite drop off in quality all over the place.

Agreed, I wonder how many times something like this has been captured in such great detail before.

We can certainly dream though!
