No, the vast majority of the states still have slave labor. The 13th amendment aboloshed slavery “except as punishment for a crime.” Last I checked only six states had changed their state constitutions to abolish all slavery, even in prison, though several others had ballot measures to do the same, so maybe there’s more now.

That just makes them better! Like when you eat lo mein and get to pretend the pieces of cabbage are little grubs. It’s the best part!

I mean, yeah, that’s why I said it wouldn’t work. Maybe if there was a website that was big enough that it would drive people to use non-WEI browsers if they couldn’t access it, but any website big enough to do that would also want WEI for ad venue.

Hm, can we make an anti-WEI movement? Have a bunch of websites block browsers using WEI, to force it away?

I know that won’t actually work, but a man can dream…

They’re attempting to push what is essentially DRM onto the internet, so websites can block you if you don’t use their special browser.

For books, I get it. I feel a deep compulsion to finish any book I start, whether I like it or not.

For television shows? Nah, I’ll stop right away if I get bored.

While correct, the real problem came when they made banks unable to refuse college loans. Suddenly, colleges could set whatever price they wanted, and the banks had to agree. That skyrocketed costs and directly led to the current situation.

Of course, it really started even further back than that when we allowed education to be privately funded rather than a public good.

Huh. My one girlfriend is actually like this.
