  • It fits perfectly as a vessel to further the neoliberal agenda of dismantling any form of regulations to create their vision of a "perfect" free market society.

  • A "free market" as in the sense these lunatics envision it is a market devoid of any form of outside regulations. In essence, survival of the fittest on an economical level: Profit above all else, might makes right, consequences be damned. One president führer CEO calling the shots, everybody else following or getting crushed in the machinery.

    So you tell me: What's not authoritarian about corporate capitalism?

  • Do you genuinely think reliable medical tests are being targeted at you through ads?

    Nope, but that is an entirely different problem. Major platforms have to be legislated to tightly control which ads they run. The amount of misinformation spread through ads is enormous.

  • Also, a depression test? Some people certainly would benefit from knowing that a) no, showing these symptoms is neither normal nor healthy, and b) there can be something done against this.

    Can only speak for Germany, but here the term to look out for is "Eigenbedarfskündigung".

  • Here in Germany, being a single parent is one of the "best" indicators of poverty: Your income would most likely shrink due to reduced working hours needed for taking care of your son. Which, in return, makes it more difficult to pay off loans long term. It also highly depends on the flexibility your employer is willing to offer you.

    Given your short description of your situation, my spontaneous advice is:

    • Stay with your parents and continue splitting responsibilities. As long as everyone is OK with the situation, there are many upsides to this: You can earn good money, while your parents get to see their grandchild on a daily basis, etc.
    • Buy the house and rent it out. At the moment it might be best to stay with your parents, but this might change. In the best case, you meet a new partner with whom you want to live and share responsibilities together. In the worst case, there might be a falling out between you and your parents, and you have to leave their house. Renting out the house before you need it will help you pay off the loan faster. A word of advice, though: Being a landlord can be a double-edged sword. The current tenant of my grandmas' flat basically just sleeps there during the week and drives to their partner for the weekend. But she also had a tenant before who stopped paying rent for months and then vanished.

  • OK, I am going to try arguiung that privacy supersedes food:

    To have a right to anything means there is something that I own. Owning something puts a division between me and others who can not own this specific thing: My right is my own, I do not have to diminish it by sharing. The most fundamental form of division is absence. Having a right to privacy is a right to the absence from others. Therefore the right to privacy is a more fundamental one than the right to food.

    However, I agree that in practice eating in public beats dying in private any time of the day. 🤷
