You can also just install or create a third party app to do the same thing.

You can though..

Your premium is 116 EUR per month, plus the taxes people pay -- which are much higher in those countries.

You have also traded your freedom.

The UK is currently talking about banning tobacco entirely in the name of reducing health costs despite it being a part of many cultures ceremonies and traditions. New York is still trying to control soda sizes in the name of public health. Canada now offers suicide as an option for people who would have a long (and costly) treatment with low probability of improving health.

Pretty soon you're setting a death age because old people use most of the healthcare. They make a Star Trek TNG episode about this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half_a_Life_(Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation)

The responsible car makers showing drivers performing stunts well beyond the ability or legality of most drivers?

You've got some kind of chip on your shoulder man. It's a car company, who cares.

You'll probably start with virt-manager then move to proxmox. This is the way, it's only a matter of how long before you realize it's better.

Most jobs include a 30-60 minute paid lunch break, making 9-5 completely plausible.

Yeah, it turns out that politicians in both parties are garbage people pandering to the masses.

Instead of voting along party lines people need to vote for real people that can act like adults and actually govern. Most of our government officials are now too busy passing meaningless resolutions, performing the same study that's popular in all the other cities, or busy on social media pandering to vocal minorities.

It's one thing to make a tool accomplish a task.

It's another thing to beat the engineers until grandma can operate the tool.

I didn't like the guy either, and found it funny that his own bullshit killed him in the end, but he did add "value".

Do you really think the concerns about encampments are all from rent seeking landlords?

Here in Minneapolis it's the number of murders, gang violence (territory), rape, and human trafficking.

Second tier issues are overdoses, fires, sanitation (which doesn't sound like much until you see the people with fingers and toes rotting off), and crime rates increasing as they try to make enough money to feed their drug habits.

It's a very complex issue. Much more complex than "the landlords are upset people aren't paying rent".

Heroin has a pretty high user satisfaction rating too. You can't use customer satisfaction as a metric for legality.
