Why bother lobbying people when you can just insert yourself directly into government? Market efficiency baby

q-white interesting

There’s a reason democrats are known as liberals. They support capitalism in large part, and that comes with some nice bribes, err i mean lobbying

I wouldn’t recommend pre-ordering any game. Way too many companies release buggy shit day 1. I say at least wait one day to see some first impressions before trusting any game.

That’s not even necessary. She hasn’t voted in over half of the votes of 2023

Yeah. There’s variants of this from capitalist parents who do the first part, then follow up with some shit like “then I take half their allowance for taxes, that’s communism baby!”

It’s crazy when you talk to conservative Christians and they’re like charity should do all the helping. Why the middle man? Let’s just help them regardless

Under no pretext should arms or legs be surrendered (skipped)

The brain drain from non-Western nations is tragically real. Intelligent people will see more rewards in capitalist nations and relocate there to help themselves and their families. If capitalism didn’t produce such big inequality people would have less incentive to move there. Ideally we’d have intelligent people spread through the world and throughout many industries, but some jobs are rewarded better than others

My thoughts exactly. We’ve innovated greener technology, only problem is they aren’t profitable enough to be widespread in capitalism

I talked to a liberal friend of mine who defended planned obsolescence saying “if things last forever, people won’t have to buy new things, and innovation won’t happen without new consumers”

Like why should I be replacing everything I own every few years? That’s insane

Being more environmentally friendly and cheaper? Where is he pulling that from?

Inventing a new technology from more or less scratch will be way more expensive. And I feel like they’d be comparable environmentally if they are both electric

Dang cool to see outlined like this. America does love slashing its public goods and services. And yeah clearly admits to heavily subsidising car ownership through oil, road, and other subsidies. Yet another aspect of life better under socialism

I was thinking population, and therefore users of the OS. I feel like a lot of western companies are already bending over to tap into the Chinese markets, so if they had to support Linux to do that for software, maybe they would.

That would be beautiful! Hopefully puts some pressure on the rest of the world to hop on the Linux train

Yes! Having the worlds largest country run on Linux would do wonders for its adoption. If all the western business partners just stopped accepting windows files and started distributing Linux packages, it would accelerate adoption elsewhere.

Based. Wage theft (literally withholding wages from workers) is way a way larger source of theft than any petty theft or time theft. And that’s the wages capitalists have promised them, not the wages they deserve through the labor theory of value.

Guys if we just solve uhhh, the housing crisis! Then capitalism will work perfectly. Oh wait climate change

Or like the first colony on the moon. Damn shame the soviets never made it to the moon.

And draw the line there? Or what about instances that federate with instances federated with meta? I think defederating meta is more than enough
