How old is this cousin? Maybe they don’t know how to deal with difficult information yet

Clearly you don’t understand how slow things are in government. 6 months is a really fast turnaround for the government to get anything done.

Sticking your head in the sand is a great strategy for never helping to enact change. Knowledge is power, learn what you can.

Well the article is from 2020, so you don’t have much longer to wait!

Calling people out on their BS is the right line to draw for me personally, but I still want that person to have the right to express their opinion. We just need to teach people that it’s ok to be wrong as long as you can admit it and learn from it. No idea gets processed until pushed from an opposing party.

Sitting back and doing nothing teaches nothing. Calling it appalling and informing the person why they’re wrong is the right step toward change. But if you can’t say it in a way that makes them hear you, then you’re doomed to have the argument all over again.

No, I wouldn’t. That’s why they won’t price it at $20. They’re gonna have to figure something else out or just have a complete negative loss in the state. You can try to price gouge people but they’ll likely just go somewhere else. This is some bs thinking through and through

And those owners can almost always find a compassionate ear from their loyal rich CEOs who don’t want to upset a however many years relationship of “I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine” kinda thing.

Sorry then, I thought you were just trying to point out that it will help people who don’t need it. Text/words is hard to interpret sometimes!

Yeah but they are specifically not letting you get away with that tactic. You can’t just pick and choose the parts of the argument that are best suited to your own opinions. What kind of change would ever be enacted if we go around saying we shouldn’t do anything for people because a certain percentage might be benefiting when they don’t need it?

If I decide to give away the rest of my cake and the fattest man in the room eats it…well I’m just happy someone got cake who wanted it!

I’M GONNA DO IT!!

Ah, c’mon downvoters…gotta keep some sarcasm alive at the same time!
