Means testing has been shown to cost significantly more. That’s why I’m a fan of universal programs and not welfare programs (like the one in this study).

I would argue someone making six figures getting 10% more will have a big impact still. Give everyone the benefit, even billionaires. Using your argument, the billionaire won’t care about getting an extra $1,000 - that’s nothing to them. But no one feels “cheated” because you arbitrarily put the limit, and you know no one else is cheating the system because there is no system to cheat!

Paying for universal programs would require changing our tax structure, which I’m also supportive of.

Those are not even remotely the same thing.

Politicians lying is a bad thing. Politicians making laws that harm Americans for things that they do themselves is worse. It’s lying plus damaging our society.

Clinton lying about his affair didn’t impact any other American other than Monica Lewinsky and his wife.

Costco can stop you from leaving either. They can however revoke your membership for breaking the terms. But if you not longer care about you membership you ignore them like the Walmart checkers

Whenever I see headlines like this I read “technological advancement is bad cause I don’t understand it”.

By your logic I suggest you avoid any building constructed in the US as nothing would ever be safe enough.

Is being a law enforcement officer a protected class?

Saying something like “I refuse to serve you in the basis of your race” is illegal because race is a protected class. Whereas “I refuse to serve you because your Lemmy hit-takes are dumb” is perfectly legal! Same as refusing to serve armed thugs masquerading as the good guys.
