This is firstly not a response to the value extraction issue. Secondly, you don’t need to explain this here. Rather read up better, because this theory requires a fair market which fails when some participants can avoid…
The dangerous ideology is that giving money and power to corporations is any better than the government. The government in a free democracy is ultimately controlled by the people, is supposed to (and usually does) work…
I honestly don’t understand how you believe this to be a reasonable response. It does sound like a bad faith argument, an attempt at ad hominem. When an entity operates in an area but optimises the financial structures…
> I like how discussion of taxes turned everyone into a fierce defender of profit maximization. Nothing about adding back to the community, paying decent wages, etc. You are fundamentally missing the issue. What most of…
A very cursory investigation suggests the Iran war has cost the US approximately 100 billion dollars. About half in hardware and half in increased costs for citizens. These costs are continuing since there is no end in…
Such professional therapy should probably be administered privately and during the course of a regular workday.
Railing against virtue signalling of some people is the preferred virtue signalling for some other people.
What kind of response is this? Why haven’t you fixed healthcare or all the potholes in your town?
I agree Iran must be hard to negotiate with but they haven’t even tried. Obama’s nuclear deal took years of work and involved multiple countries. When Vance didn’t get his way in a single meeting he quit? Also maybe…
They simply want chaos. This distracts from their corruption and authoritarian actions, it enables grift and market manipulation, it worsens conditions in other western countries which benefits them, oil price being…
Do you usually start negotiations by publicly deriding your counterparty and state absurd demands?
Two people see an opportunity to make money. One of them recognizes the venture would harm the people involved and decides not to. The other either does not see the harm (so not a genius) or simply doesn't care…
I don’t see it as making fun of the situation per se, rather the people responsible for it.
In that case he would just approve wind farms that fuck with people he dislikes. It seems to me this is very much intentional to keep oil demand up and prices high.
Nothing would please our enemies more than people not being able to talk to each other. This decline of trust is not accidental.
It wasn’t exactly those countries choice, but since the US seems hell bent on sabotaging itself one can only hope the rest of the western world picks up this slack.
I am, but still it sounds bad to me to expose them to the road elements on the way home. And food in packaging, it is usually in boxes or other containers most of the time in supply line transit. Individual items only…
Keep in mind this is adjusted for inflation. However I agree it should have been more during this period.
In the higher income countries the hours worked have fallen, however it may be that in lower income countries they have increased. That is to say, due to more work opportunities more people have gotten jobs that count…
Still, the packaging then presumably goes into the fridge and cupboards? And I would imagine there would be fresh produce in the bag as well? Maybe it makes sense, it just sounds unpleasant to me.
Wait do people put their groceries they intend to eat on the bed of their trucks, exposed to exhaust, asphalt, tire rubber and all other forms of road pollution?
True, I didn’t mean it was routine but it was somewhat normal. I just wanted to show the incredible range of professional behaviour that has disappeared.
That is true. The ubiquitous mobile internet and social media I should have said.
Bullying is not new and was performed via sms before the internet. Social media however allows for easier targeting especially for bad actors that are not in the kid’s friend/acquaintance group.
Those are real words, that’s true. The following however is anywhere from not true to wild speculation without any factual basis. >Global responsibility sounds like the direct opposite of self-determination. >Some…
