Because they redefined the meaning of word "racism" such that their views are no longer considered racist. Unsurprisingly, that also redefined the meaning of "against racial discrimination". Tl,dr: We no longer understand each other.

what's the motivation for removing `goto`, is this something that you find being abused? I code in c++ for work, and I almost never see anyone using it without a good reason.

Can you give a run-down what's involved in getting service? Would I need to register with you and get an app or something? Which devices are supported? Do I need rooted device?

I don't know if you are being sarcastic or naive here... Why would Hillary use her own email server for critical government correspondence? I don't know! Reasons I guess. People on all levels tend do stupid stuff every once in a while

but you already know what will happen next, don't you? People would stop using 2FA, then some donkey on government contract with access to nuclear weapons gets hacked, and everybody would lose their mind: "how could google be so stupid to allow people not use 2FA?!?!?!"

but what would Google do, how is it possible to fix? What's the point of having 2FA using the phone if you can bypass it by clicking "i don't have my phone"?

As with every other "simple solution" to a complex problem there are a few flaws:

a) google will have to require a credit card in order to open an email

b) person opening an email account must actually have a line of credit, e.g.: many of the people mentioned in the OP will not have it

c) opens a new attack vector on google accounts, e.g.: people who secured their emails using 2FA app for example can now be attacked via a credit card process

I think the reason is that safety nets our system provides to big businesses (especially "too big to fail" ones) incentivizes them to take risks. If you have a 50/50 chance to strike gold or loose tons of someone else's money, why not take it. If it pans out, you get a lot of bonus $$$, if it doesn't - it's no skin off your back.

I'm not sure why is it that you only mention "women" here, are you implying men are never assaulted?

even if it's not completely transparent and can not be used in a window, it could still be useful as a wall material to let some of the daylight into the house.
