He's not cured, he's being treated. And he's not just being released to the generap public, he's still going to be living in a group home, with managed care and accountability.

You realize he's going to be in a group home, right? It's not like he's just being let out on the streets.

That just makes them better! Like when you eat lo mein and get to pretend the pieces of cabbage are little grubs. It's the best part!

Reminds me of that video where the owners dressed the dog like this and let it loose to chase after people at night.

I think their point is more that it's easier for an undocumented individiual to disappear than for a documented one. They're already undocumented, so they're used to operating without going through proper channels. They have no connection to the vehicle, and thus no insurance, and thus the person being hit has no recourse for getting their own vehicle fixed.

Now, letting them get licenses would presumably come with them also getting insurance, but I feel like this is just a band-aid on a much bigger problem.

Plus there's a multitude of studies showing that people work far less than 8 hours a day, even if they are physically present at the job. I doubt productivity actually drops at all.

While correct, the real problem came when they made banks unable to refuse college loans. Suddenly, colleges could set whatever price they wanted, and the banks had to agree. That skyrocketed costs and directly led to the current situation.

Of course, it really started even further back than that when we allowed education to be privately funded rather than a public good.

Huh. My one girlfriend is actually like this.

Obviously so, even.

I've got this. My clothes basically melt off me, so I have to wear construction-grade clothing just to have it last a normal amount of time.

I never made the connection between my glasses, but that explains why they last so much longer when I switched to bulky plastic frames.

Yeah, this seems a wasteful choice. It also makes me think that the route of making a personal instance just for a log-in that doesn't have to worry about the moderators defederating is the best bet.
