Nah, you're just insane in the brain, you care too much about small
details, you make them into something meaningful but end up with the
most shabby Xeon box imaginable.  It's pathetic.  You need to embrace
Debian.  It doesn't take away choice from me, I don't worry about
systemd, it does its job and I do mine.  Get over yourself.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
