@MisuseCase now it's my fault he's gone off the deep end? Fuck off

@mattblaze I'm not sure why you're reacting like this, nor why you are attributing to me opinions that I have not expressed. And I definitely have not tried to police what you should be interested in. Oh well.

@mattblaze So if a judge says "do not deport this person pending my decision", and they deport him anyway, they can't go to jail for contempt? I've been lied to by US TV series all these years 😃

@mattblaze @me_valentijn Perhaps I should have said "real consequences": fines, jail time, ineligibility, that kind of thing.

@mattblaze I was not implying anything about your opinions, I was expressing my surprise at the judge's decision. Warranty void if removed, etc 😃

@mattblaze Sorry, there's an allegation the warrant is bullshit, but they're not allowed to question the guy who signed off on it? Isn't dealing with legal stuff a large part of his job?

@radiojammor @ChrisMayLA6 @scottsantens I wasn't talking about the politicians, but about those who fund the politicians. Call me cynical, but if Polanski does ever get into power I fully expect him to succumb the same way everyone else has since 1979.

@noodlemaz @brentthomas @maxleibman In the country where I live we have a card that identifies us in the national medical coverage database, and an app that I can use to make appointments with medical professionals, send them documents, and receive prescriptions, which I can electronically transfer to a pharmacist. Everything is tied into both the public and private medical insurance payment systems so reimbursement is automatic. The US could have the same, if it tried.

Thanks, that answers a few questions I had. Of course, given that one of the main effects of UBI would be to free significant portions of the population from *having* to have a job, and give more bargaining power to workers, those in charge will of course never allow it to be implemented.
