That is altogether too damn sensible to be accepted by anyone.
This is one thing that those supporting runaway capitalism don't seem to understand. Money ultimately flows up. It relies on a bunch of people closer to the bottom to start that flow. The more people taking part, the better. Each consumer can put in a little if the number of consumers is high.
If market prices go up so far that the people at the bottom can't initiate that flow, then the system fails. Money doesn't flow at all, and those at the top start taking losses. Dominoes fall. The system needs consumers to be able to afford goods. It's one reason why prices cannot just go up until the end of time. You can't squeeze blood from a stone.
But so many of these rich folks now are under the impression that money just flows in without understanding from where. Prices just go up, as if it were an infinite money glitch. These people will eventually have an awakening.

Shut the fuck up then, Senator. Your vote matters. Your comments don't.
One more dinosaur who thinks people should give a fuck about things other than his actual actions. Pure distraction.
To anyone reading this thinking "once SteamOS comes out, I'll switch", you should know:
Gaming on Linux is already here. Pick a distro and game. You can take advantage of Proton right now. You don't need to wait for one specific distro.
I've personally been gaming on Linux exclusively for about 3 years. Windows games, not Linux games.
Edit: based on other commenters' suggestions, I'll give you some.
I have gamed for those three years on PopOS. It is a distro based on Debian, ultimately, which means it's also related to Ubuntu and Mint. Realistically, you can pick any of those 4 and you should have a nice experience.
Arch is popular with the übergeeks, and I do use it on my laptop, BTW, but you shouldn't use it as a first distro.
The concept of "distro" doesn't really exist for Windows, because you pretty much get one monolithic product. But basically, it is a specific mix of software that works together and relies on the Linux kernel. Imagine it as a "version" of Windows with specific goals, some of which are overlapping (e.g. Mint and Ubuntu tend to cater to the same audience).
If you get far enough into it, the freedom that Linux allows means that you can turn any distro into any other distro.
Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez is from Texas and first got an MA in Theology before going into law -- if that gives you any useful context.
"I openly voted against the interests of my own children and also openly claim they have a mental disorder for their views."
Get fucked.
These people really are clueless. No appreciation at all for how their actions affect others. They get surprised when people stop putting themselves in harms way by simply not being around them.
Want your family back? Realize that what you think is some free speech populist revolution is just an excuse for a lot of people to be assholes and expect no consequences.
Ignore everything you see about polling. Polls don't win elections, but they can sway elections.
Vote. Vote. Vote.

2024 is wild. Run Linux.
Twitter is not a utility. We really need to stop treating techbro services like utilities. If we feel they actually are utilities, the government can step in and make that claim and the appropriate changes.
I've been on Lemmy ever since the reddit API fracas. To date, I have not seen a reason to return. I have, however, seen many reasons to stay away.

In linguistics this is called "code switching", and it is extremely common among native bilinguals.
