  • The question is even more fraught than you might have considered.

    What if you report them to your rideshare company and they do nothing?

    As a passenger of a private vehicle where you observe or experience dangerous behaviour, are you required or obligated to report the behaviour to the police?

    What if that driver came to collect your teenage child?

    I don’t envy your situation, but their income is not your responsibility, your personal safety is.






  • Mathematics and Politics.

    There are many more people who are “working class” than rich. The argument is that if you take some money from a lot of people, you get more money than if you take a lot of money from some people.

    There’s also the argument that if everyone pitches in, the overall burden for each individual is less.

    What this fails to address is that the richer you are, the more you can play with your money and end up with nothing to tax. This is why the rich get richer and the rest of us don’t.

    Running through all that is a thing called “trickle down economics” which claims that the money from the rich ends up in society, but recent reviews of this have proven this to be nonsense. Politicians use this as an argument for the status quo.

    Finally, the rich shape the narrative. Politicians are essentially elected by the rich through their manipulation of the story through their media empires and social media platforms.





  • Seriously? From the README:

    I would like to first fix the kernel headers issues that break the UAPI for C++ compilers (because they use C++ keywords that break C++ code) and the Windows filesystem (Windows filesystem is case-insensitive, so some headers cannot be stored on Windows filesystems).

    I can’t wait to see this kernel become dependent on .NET

    If you’re wondering, this is what embrace, extend and extinguish looks like.
