That doesn’t change the fact that open source users are the welfare queens of our times. As long as open source software exists, lazy degenerates with no skin in the game will feel entitled to keep demanding more and…

Tornado shelters are not exactly a novel idea.
My entire argument is based on the fact that a free-market healthcare system is not even an option. Frankly, a free-market economy of any sort is a utopian fantasy. Healthcare is just a useful case study of the problems.
Whether it’s hospitals, hosipital owners, doctors, or other healthcare industry benefactors, someone is making a killing beyond just the insurance companies. Ballooning administration is not only a cause but a symptom,…
Especially since no amount of technology has lessened the amount that most of us (especially those doing these jobs being complained about) still have to work to earn a living.

The only construction project Google ever did in my city was use ancient (loud as hell) equipment to rip these big grooves down mile after mile of perfectly good neighborhood streets in all of our poor communities to…
This just isn’t true. Every social species found in the wild relies on brutal social regulating behaviors that maintain social conditions necessary for group survival.
“Hitherto it is questionable if all the mechanical inventions yet made have lightened the day's toil of any human being.” —John Stuart Mill, 1848 There is always work to be done to reproduce society, but if reproducing…

Keep criticizing them but what do you expect them to be doing instead? Dropping pennies into a 401K after giving half their paycheck to their landlord and the other half to student loans? In the absence of hope, people…

Additionally, the status quo can’t sustain itself either. The current restlessness has a few (I only mean a few) notable similarities to the social context which led to WW1. A lingering ruling class who has outstayed…
Great point! So simple, but as someone who has never worked on this side of things I never thought about it. How would legal limitations on data collection, like GDPR, influence the ratio? None? Only an insignificant…
Are you trying to suggest that a registered non-profit charity organization is an equivalent to a panhandler?
Very well said. Same age here and I could not agree more. I don’t like traffic, but for that we need a base level of public transportation infrastructure, not this WFH nightmare dystopia.

Honestly stunned. Thanks for sharing.
The same recategorization could be applied to any death that ostensibly “communism did.” Why don’t we call American slavery “capitalist slavery?” It was far more capitalist than any of the deaths people try to attribute…
Means testing has never been a positive thing for poor people. I don’t believe you can have capitalism without rampant global warming. We should already understand these dystopian proposals are just asking for failure.
Of course, we are subservient to and dependent on an economic system which both incentivizes and enforces this type of behavior.
These people are not politically “left” in any way, shape, or form. They are just decadent. The political left is responsible for my father’s retirement pension, his father’s freedom to spend his evenings to complete a…
