Because the only people who support it are students and academics and think tanks.

I own my own home, I support my wife with my single income, and we have enough savings that recently being unemployed for several months did not cause any financial hardships.

I support UBI even though I personally would not benefit from it, and I should be taxed more in order to help people who are struggling.

Not everyone operates under "fuck you I got mine".

Taxes on corporations and the rich, savings on overhead from existing programs that will no longer be required.

I was listing all the bad things Steam does and never mentioned Epic. That's on you projecting so much.

You used the phrase "which one" a lot. That is incoherent nonsense unless you are talking about at least 2 entities. "Which one" was the second entity?

even if that ain't the dictionary definition

So not what that word means.

Fascist countries are well known for their spotless record keeping easily accessible to the public.

Right, the US isn't going to murder you, they'll just deport you to some other country you've never been to and that country will torture and murder you!

How many tourists to Mexico are having problems with cartels vs how many tourists to America are having problems with ICE?

Unexpected trips don't tend to be fun. Scary trips don't tend to lead to addiction.

Also, drugs are a lot more expensive than abortion pills, so whomever is putting the drugs in them is losing a lot of money doing so.

pills with something else that could get you addicted.

It's hard to get addicted to an unknown substance you've taken unwillingly and don't know what it is in order to get another hit.

I'd be more considered about psychos selling literal poison.

I'm sure he had a blackmail list ready to go in order to prevent himself facing consequences. It's why he got suicided.

Point to where I said that.

The same thing Steam did to secure its monopoly.

That's not what the word monopoly means

No, you were literally saying Epic was better than Steam because Epic is doing the same scummy things but just wasn't around when Steam started doing it.

I never made any claims as to whether I felt those practices are problematic or not, I just pointed out that they both do it so it's irrelevant in the comparison.

Epic is worse than Steam because of its aggressively anti-consumer practices like paid exclusives.
