If there aren't laws for crimes against the economy, there should be.

There needs to be a tech workers union. The abuse from employers needs to end. Especially the endless free overtime.

Same. Canceled last month. You vote with your dollars, people.

I believe that's where the famous saying originates from.

This is definitely progress, but we need to keep in mind that the particular language a person speaks can significantly influence how a person's brain works.

This concept needs to spread. Those record profits and the consolidation of wealth is a real-life exploit (a hack) of capitalism. These types of situations were never intended by the visionaries that designed capitalism. This entire clusterfuck of 1% having 99% of the money was never intended by design, nor seemed like a plausible situation to need to design protections for when the economy started getting destroyed by this situation. As the sickness of greed among policymakers grew, they punched holes in the system in order to exploit the mechanics of the capitalism to collect virtually limitless money while simultaneously denying other less privileged people not "in the know" the chance to do the same.

Does anyone remember the original Super Mario Brothers, where you could get crowns, basically giving you more lives than you could possibly use? These capitalist hackers found a way to get crowns at the expense of the 99%, and nobody has any clue or organized any way to stop this hack/exploit from ruining it for everyone else.

Capitalism has been hacked. If the system administrators don't manually intervene and redistribute wealth, we are just going to keep circling the drain until it's all over like a game of Monopoly where everyone except one entity is completely bankrupt.

It's like the unwanted worthless waste runoff from reddit wound up here

I'm just sick of the droves of low effort jokes on reddit. If you don't have any content to add, then shut the fuck up.

I'm very familiar with Florida's rules about this. You can have a driver's license just fine and not be required to pay anything. The scenario you're worried about is if you have a driver's license and a car registered and tagged (license plate) at the DMV. If you have a valid license plate and no insurance, the DMV either wants the valid plate back, or you're forced to get car insurance, or else your driver's license will be suspended. They do this to prevent uninsured people from driving around with valid tags (license plates), basically by getting insurance, registering the vehicle with the DMV to get a valid plate, and then canceling the insurance or letting it lapse, in order to "appear" like a valid driver.

Additionally, if you have a vehicle in your driveway and no valid license plate, you can be cited by the local government's code enforcement department, for having an unregistered (junk) vehicle in your driveway. I don't remember exactly what the citation was for, but I've received one when I was young and first getting into the car hobby. I'm a car enthusiast and I have always had multiple vehicles, and have been told by my city I had to either register the car, get it out of view (I think getting it covered up with a car cover counts, but they really want you to put it in a garage), or get rid of it. Some municipalities don't care, some care and don't enforce it, and some do enforce this.

Also, a car insurance company wants to know about every licensed driver in the household, because they could potentially be sharing cars with you. You don't want to tell the insurance company that you have roommates or they'll require you to add them to your car insurance policy, which will be very costly. If they somehow find out, just tell them their information is old and that the individual has recently moved out of the house.

If you have any other questions or if I've forgotten something, let me know and I'll give you the answer.
