I think you're underestimating how many people want to work for the government for the perceived benefits. I'm saying they have the stuff already set up, in fantasyland it would be a fairly smooth transition.

If we're talking total fantasyland, I suppose put those employees to work building a government backed alternative or an open platform to allow smaller companies?

Suppose you had a centralized federated system where states or municipalities or even companies could have their own drivers but it's a common app?

Edit to add you could also have both driver and passenger rate each other and allow both to filter by rating, lower ratings would naturally pay more or less to compensate for the service. I bet in cities you'd have luxury versions of the same services all from the same app, but also cheap shitty services too.

I just lost a raid 0 array for what seems like no reason, all I even had to do was reformat and both drives are working again. It's fortunate I only use them for my steam library.

That being said I have an Ubuntu machine that's been running 4 drives in RAID 5 for like 5 years so.... Your mileage may vary?

Btrfs would beg to differ.

I also work front end, I've had sooo many people give me this shit.

#1 Not advertising. Advertising is what you see before you enter the building. Some stores don't even have shelf labels.

#2 Do you think someone can walk up to your garage sale and slap their own sticker that says $1 and demand you sell them a TV for $1? No, you can refuse to sell your own shit whenever you want. It's YOUR shit. You can burn it in front of them if you felt like it.

As much fun as setting up a torrent box is, being an argumentative asshole is even better.

Let's not even talk about the workers though...

"In 2004, a jury awarded 32-year-old Eric Peoples, a worker at the Gilster-Mary Lee plant in Jasper, Mo., $20 million for lung damage he sustained during the manufacturing process of buttered popcorn. At the time, 29 other workers had cases pending."
