27·1 day agoThe how come we can’t treat it like taxes are based on: John Locke’s contract theory? I use the roads I enter into a contract because i use them. Kind of like a streaming service, I pay for the use of what I want. But I am not in school anymore so why should I have to pay for that? There is no verbal agreement or anything on that. Kind of seems like someone who is familar with tax code and stuff could make a great argument on Contract Theory alone.

21·1 day agoOk so I pay taxes on daily goods . These taxes go to road construction, schools, sidewalks and whatever. And that tax is about 10% of my receipt I get. How come they don’t use that money and piss off me?

4·10 days agoWhen did that happen? Today they still make a big deal about the Fillibuster. I just always wondered how people pulled it off. Like that one senator who asked his page to read the whole epstein file which was 3000 pages or something. And get paid very very little.

Technology@lemmy.world•Firefox is ending support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1, and users are urged to switch to LinuxEnglish
91·2 months agoWhat is the big difference always thought about it switching but I am a Windows user since 95. I don’t want to have something where it requires effort. I play on the computer and relax and thats it. How many programs feature the linux option? Is there like a video I can learn about the difference? I just like my point and double click.
