That isn't how any of this works. My health has been bad for years I don't have much to lose by putting live squirrels up my ass and setting my hair on fire! See how fucking stupid that sounds? When circumstances are especially bad there is more not less need for wise leadership.

Well once upon a time xp through 7 at least clicking start menu and starting to type the name of an app worked really well rather than resulting in some weird as web search opened in edge searching for no reason for what you had typed. I'm 100% sure there is some 3rd party launcher that still works as well as the start menu did before they ruined it. If I still used it I would probably install that.

The App menu in Cinnamon (Linux Mint) Also has the same binding and like older windows actually works well too.

Sorry this just isn't so. You can't just observe a range of polls which predict a wide range of outcomes and probabilities after the fact and pick whichever one turned out to be best after the fact and say polling was accurate unless that poll you picked consistently achieves that level of accuracy.

This would be like rolling a box full of 100 sided dice before a game and then picking the 2 closest to the football games final score and then declaring that those dice are accurate to within so many points.

Polling is not nor has it been accurate to half a point. The pollsters themselves claim a larger margin of error.

whites and blacks have equal rights and the same opportunities available

untrue

skin color alone should not be the basis for aid. If some one needs help, help them.

There is actually a lot more extra help granted to white people especially the well off than will ever go to black people. There is a higher proportion of white people in Harvard now who wouldn't have made it purely on merit than any other race. In a less shitty environment maybe being colorblind would actually make sense. In actuality it decreases fairness.

Clearly the current systems are not helping, despite all the aid given to them.

The actual aid that is available to families is largely a joke

why work harder for less, when I can live off government aid

You actually largely can't you would end up living with the hobos on the cardboard if you without any disability decided not to bust your fucking ass.

Asian/Ellis Island era European immigrants didn’t have the same aid, and 80 years later Asians are among the most successful groups, or at least average.

80 years ago isn't today. 80 years ago jobs that paid 50k didn't require 100K in debt while houses cost $400k.

You are basically a KKK member without a hood.

Gas stations actually make almost all of their money on things other than gas that people buy while they are at the gas station. It's true that people wouldn't come to existing gas stations nearly as much if they weren't buying gas but they could make as much or more from users charging.

The real problem from their perspective is how infrequently users may need such especially if they charge at home and the cost of charging infra which is always in addition to gas not instead of

Maybe if you hate things because people recommend them instead of what they are good or bad for then you are ignorant

The rate of burglary is 271 per 100k per year in the US but nobody doubts it exists. If the rate of weasels ripping off deposits was 1 in 20 which is incredibly high and you sampled 10 instances the chance of getting zero is 0.95^10. That is to say the chance that someone would rent 10 times in such a market and not have someone try to rip you off is ~60%. Your sample size isn't meaningful even if it were random.

In what universe are polls ever anywhere near within half a point?

Always makes me wonder what other people do to their houses to fuck them up so bad.

You figured people must all be doing damage to lose their deposit. Lots of people don't understand what their rights are or what to do to protect them because the poor are habituated to the reality that they don't have much in the way of rights.

If you are on the bottom of the food chain there are basically no good things compared to other developed nations. I would shred my citizenship docs for a better choice.

Here let me help you. Landlords vary wildly in quality and decline quickly as you go down in price furthermore being ignorant of your rights or lacking in options due to money are both easy routes to getting fucked. Not understanding that people pretty regularly get fucked out of their deposits because you haven't is like wondering why other people get raped when you have avoided it.

hey aren’t really incentivized to return it to the tenant

Yes lots of landlords here just steal it as a matter of course. The US is basically a garbage country with a great military.
