  • Why don’t the Democrats try to impeach him over this? I know it won’t pass with the Republicans in charge, but at least it would show that they tried to make things right.

    They should try it and try to get Republicans to vote against Trump - I know it won’t work, but at least they should be forced to publicly show their colors as minions of a dictator.

    There should be a impeachment trial for each and every time that traitor breaks the law. It’s the least they could do.




  • Of course, it’s basically a communist idea from even before the Russian revolution.

    To answer your question: since corporations aren’t allowed to own more than the buildings they work with, they could not buy foreign real estate - except for facilities or offices they really use.

    I don’t think I know all the answers, it was just a interesting idea I read a while ago.

    As far as I know it was never implemented, so weather it would work out or not is just speculation.


  • I don’t live in the USA, so my trust in my government is at least a little bit higher.

    I agree that the government under trump is… not suitable for such a socialist concept. One can only hope that a better one will rise from the ashes.

    That being said, in general, control by the state is better for the people, even though it’s less effective. Taking ‘greed’ out of the equation for the housing market would do wonders.

    My take?

    1. corporations aren’t allowed to own land or houses other than the office space and production facilities.

    2. people can only own the buildings they live in (with proof of living there at least X% of the year)

    3. The state takes over all houses and land that become unused by these laws

    4. The state rents out their property as ‘rent to own’, or as housing for the homeless

    How the hell are we supposed to install it without a Internet connection? I worked in a company that was so hard on security that only certified machines were allowed access to the net, so virtual machines were not allowed to access the LAN and therefore the Internet. Generally not a problem as we just used them to test software on different OS versions, so no Internet required.

    This change disallows all offline installs. What is their gain? Are they that keen on our data or are they planning to use the connection to a Microsoft account for something even worse than just selling personal information? I could think of a few reasons and none are nice…
