People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. You can replace the addres of .x.com to xcancel.com in the address. https://web.archive.org/save is an option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement (see rule 6)

Except it's not rational.
Countries with socialized health care systems do have abusers, but they are a tiny minority of the population, because most people don't want to spend their life in hospitals.
Roads are socialized everywhere but you don't see many people just driving around to make sure they get their "fair share" of road using/wearing out of their taxes.

Depending what we talk about, overusing resources does not translate in increased comfort or quality of life.
