You can't just kill them. You need to deal with the forces that enabled them. But getting rid of them would be a good start.

It seems like their calculations always return high prices. I can't think of any service that has had the price drop significantly.
Why would they lower costs when they can just not do that?
Having these self driven cars run by private profit driven companies seems like a bad idea. Infrastructure, which this is trying to be, should not be private.
That feels like a system with misaligned incentives.
Sometimes I resent being straight, where monogomy is basically the only option
There's plenty of poly/enm people. I know people who have success there, and had some myself.
Counter intuitively, it lead to fewer dates for me than monogamy. There's a smaller pool of people. I'm still rolling the same dice trying to clear DC 18, but when I had it filtered to poly I was making like one check a week, versus like two a day.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_experiment
The Kansas experiment was a name given to a controversial and widely noted tax-cutting policy/agenda of Kansas Governor Sam Brownback that began with Brownback signing a bill cutting state taxes (Kansas Senate Bill Substitute HB 2117), in May 2012,[1][2] and ended with the Kansas legislature's repeal of the bill in June 2017. It was one of the largest income tax cuts in
Despite its record and the fact that "many experts regard the Kansas tax cuts as a failure", the 2017 Republican tax cuts (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017) had some of the same elements of Brownback's policy, and "many Republicans still embrace the ideology" behind the Kansas tax cuts.[2]
Conservatives don't learn shit.
I do not understand the mind of that kind of copycat.
Cool. Been on Linux for a couple years. No real complaints. No tinkering. It just works and is a boring-ass plasma kde desktop environment.
Yeah, we all do it. But some things are much harder to navigate (eg: driving a car when you live in a car-first hell is hard to avoid) vs just not using Twitter.
Rich people and capitalism are a bigger problem that arguably is easier to solve, though, to your point.
It's so frustrating how people just don't care about things. Especially if they're complicated or indirect.
They'll be like "but there's funny memes there" and I'm like there's humor in all sorts of places. Blank stare.
"""We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words."""
