Exactly, that’s why we need to convince governments to pay for FOSS.

True, but Mr. Rogers would probably know how to do it properly so that you’d be at ease.
Isn’t it amazing that ‘not lying to children’ somehow seems kinda radical?
I go to the movies once a week, but it’s more of an arthouse place, where you’re not bombarded at the entrance with sugary snacks and drinks. To give you an idea: I’ve never seen anyone eat popcorn there. I do go to restaurants but never to the likes of McDonalds and such, I imagine they would have these things? Perhaps they’re also not that common in Europe?
I’ve never seen either of these machines irl.
All fun and games untill obesity sets in, probably before puberty. McDonalds tries it’s very best to instill the habit of regular fast-food consumption in to children across the world. I’m all in favor for fun and games for kids, but I get uncomfortable when you target your fast-food chain at children. Let’s just make a public playground for kids, and let’s not allow the obesity-salesmen to target them.
That’s why a universal basic income is a good idea. I’ve also always been very interested in anarchism. I think what it does well is that it gets people to do exactly what they think is right, it creates a society where people are motivated by their inner workings not by external power structures, and it makes sense to think there’s some untapped potential there. But I also tend to think Anarchism might be a bit naive, or far from where we are as a society right now. But UBI seems more realistic and might get us a bit further down this path than we are now. People could still work for a loan, full time or part time or whatever they want, but it becomes more realistic for people to choose to do voluntary work.
