The collective pays for it through tax collection. The people who already make it will still make it. If you wanted to move you would give up your current house and trade it for a different one.
Why can you not imagine a better, fairer society?
If you work a 40 hour week you should recieve food, shelter, medicine and entertainment.
I believe this is achievable thanks to the incredible innovation over the past 2 centuries.
What’s absurd is the current system. Where billionaires can extract from nations without giving anything back. It’s absurd that food for children is being cut to bomb children on the other side of the world.
What I believe may sound absurd to you. But look at our reality. It’s fucking crazy!!
Ok fair. SNAP is a government benefit if you must use the technical term. It’s not the end of the story though.
I think there is some truth in the original comment of this thread. They are called government benefits to make people believe they are not entitled to them. When in reality they are your right as a human being.
I’m saying SNAP is funded through national effort and international cooperation. Which USians are entitled to as part of their basic human rights.
This is a thread about the US governement taking food away from children and you’re getting hung up on semantics.
It’s good to know you’re privileged enough not to need support from the governement. Others are not so lucky.
It’s actually a human right as defined by the UN - https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights
Article 25
Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control
Goes very nicely with
Article 22
Everyone, as a member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international co-operation and in accordance with the organization and resources of each State, of the economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality
Does the US uphold human rights? No. That’s the main issue here.
I certainly wouldn’t say it’s comical. Ukraine have lost the major city of Donesk. https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/36a7f6a6f5a9448496de641cf64bd375
I have seen evidence of violent conscription on both sides. This is a serious war. Russia are changing their entire economy to capture as much of Ukraine as possible.
But the profits of the company are being used to fund that political party. If people cancel their subscription the Mullvad CEO will earn less money and won’t be able to spend as much funding racial segregation. You should vote with your wallet as much as possible.
Thanks, that’s a great point about IVPN and Gibraltar. They do have a warren canary but I’ve heard those are bullshit too. The question is, are they compromised already or not.
I only bought a month of time so maybe i’ll move to Nym. They have decentralized servers and have mixnet functionally which seems a safer bet.
It’s pretty mental! What do they mean their internal systems were compromised but everything’s fine. Not even any downtime??
It feels like OpenAI removed guardrails, gave an agent a path to internet access and said attack HuggingFace. At the same time HuggingFace left some vulnerabilities on a machine in a sandbox and waited for OpenAI to arrive.
Still impressive that agents can to that now but the hole thing stinks of marketing. I reckon unless HF sues OpenAI it was planned from the start lol
All I know is the profits of Mullvad go to bad causes. Yes IVPN aren’t perfect but the services are so similar the choice should be obvious. Until a better alternative comes along i’m going to use the one that does less harm.
Damn that’s the only thing they don’t offer compared to the others 💔
Nope they’re owned by a single person. I hope he’ll be more responsible. If you know of any non-profit vpn providers let me know! Happy to switch again
I can vouch for IVPN. Made the switch when I heard the news and its been pretty seamless. Generated an account number and funded it with monero. There’s an fdroid app too! Service has been really good so far
I made the switch to IPVN and it’s felt exactly the same. Maybe even better. Same price. Servers in multiple locations. Allows routing through 2 VPN servers. No logs. No money going to racist ideology.
Mullvad can claim whatever they like about their values, but they are a for-profit company. The profits of the company are being used to fund racial segregation. If they believe in their values they’ll switch to a non-profit foundation. Until that time they can get fucked!
It is. It may not be provided in many countries and that is something we should aim to fix, but as a human being you are entitled to free food.
