Of course, we have more traditional links and images in our search results too, which we largely source from Bing.

So I wasn't totally right in that it doesn't all come from Bing, but it largely does.

If I recall correctly, DuckDuckGo uses Bing's search database (not search itself, just the database).

It's worth the weird name if you care about maintaining privacy rights.

Tbf, if a job posting like that goes out, that is not a company you want to work for. It's a lot more rare for that scenario. The more problematic situation is a bunch of companies simply wanting years of experience but for entry level jobs with entry level pay.

You understand that the better version of your argument is better regulation, not less regulation, right? That's really the core of my point. Plus, the items you mentioned still have other benefits that need to be weighed against (and lack of contractors isn't even a regulation, it's a possible outcome of some other regulation, which is probably the licensing, but that is even closer to the whole FDA argument I made, and let's be honest, you needed more items for your list).

Edit: and it being a seller's market is absolutely caused by demand for purchasing, so in the end it's still landlords fault. They're converting too many non-rentals to rentals. They're buying up houses at high costs because it becomes more affordable with more units, therefore driving pricing. It truly is the biggest influence in purchase price. Regulating that would absolutely have a far better effect than deregulating other areas (which still sounds more like they just need better regulation).

I mean, food can be made cheaper with less regulation too, that doesn't mean that's the right answer or even a good answer. Most of that stuff you mentioned has been in place for a long time. The more recent blowup in cost isn't directly related.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm. The housing market is suffering due to "real estate investors" just buying out and renting houses that used to be non-rental. Investment is driving up the cost of housing significantly. There's going to be a reckoning as wages are kept down and mortgages keep going up though. Eventually rent to cover mortgages are going to be too high and it's just going to push out the small time real estate investors, and either more companies will move in or there'll be a small drop in pricing.

You're confusing actual institutions with its philosophy.

Capitalism is also not the only system to distribute resources. Capitalism isn't concerned with anything as it's not an actual living thing. But to pretend that it doesn't incentivize ruthlessness or greed is simply untrue.

Regulation is still useful. You're basically arguing for anarchy with your naive take. When a system advances the idea to exploit people, the system is fundamentally flawed. Will all systems have abuse? Sure. But that doesn't mean "you will dislike all systems, so it's irrelevant if one is better or worse."

Ok, and we still create laws to combat it. I don't think "evil always existed, so let's not have the FDA because it's not that we're protecting citizens from bad food, but simply from evil."

This is such a weird "I'm 14 and this is deep" take.

I've seen a sudden influx of memes all about this and I don't know why. It's suddenly the new trend and I don't understand it.

What did they convert to? I can't tell if this is a joke I just don't understand or what
