There are several instances of left wing folks being banned, he stated that "cis" will be disallowed on the platform, he's removed tweets at the behest of governments like the Saudis, and this post is literally about…
And freedom to "censor" speech they don't like.
Police in America exist universally in a position where using their authority is basically unchecked and assumed by default to be "the right thing". They have incredibly dangerous powers, and by and large the response…
I think we agree. Your first two paragraphs are the point I was trying to make. I disagree with your opinion in the third paragraph, but I think we can agree to disagree.
I judge parties by what they do. And what they've done is monumentally center right, with small local exceptions.

I don't think anyone thinks free services don't have costs. Everyone (or nearly everyone) understands they are taxpayer funded. Even to the layman.

Then it's not free. Opportunity cost is real. I don't ask my kid to volunteer because he got a chicken pox vaccine, he just gets to not have chicken pox for free. And that's ok. We can choose to make the next…
They are paying no matter what. If you don't educate kids well, you are just paying for it when you retire and get fucked by a weak workforce.
