I’m actually surprised at how benign this report is. It’s all stuff we more or less already know. I wanted to see the couches.

They should put controls on lathes and mills to prevent making guns. Metal guns are a lot more effective than plastic guns anyways. /s

I like the imagemagick .desktop file that is always created when you install the package. It opens up a really terrible and dated paint-like program that no one ever uses.

Keep the case and put a modern PC inside to make it a sleeper PC. Drill speed holes in the side for extra airflow that your computer will desperately need.

Florida recently did just that with SB1718 and their agriculture sector paid a big hit. There is an H-2A visa system, but that is not filling the hole undocumented labor left. NPR Link

I agree that the definition of Socialism tends to be a catch-all for leftist policies, especially in the context of US domestic policy. Here is a (nonextensive) list of the “Socialist” policies that the Dutch have that are attractive to me.

• Strong Unions and high Union membership (twice that of the US)

• Government Mandated PTO (20 day minimum)

• Universal healthcare (Private and Public options. US healthcare is just not comparable)

• Realistic minimum wage (scales with age)

US Politicians who support these policies domestically get labeled as a Socialist/Communist/fringe left/extreme left. I am not going to pretend that The Netherlands (or any Nordic country) is perfect or it isn’t capitalist (Amsterdam is home to the oldest stock exchange in the world), but they are a working example of how a democracy with “Socialist” policies can create a country with a high quality of life.

Yes I’d immigrate to the secretly highly-developed and free nation of the Netherlands.
