Based Colorado setting an example for the rest of the US.

Poorly thought out government policy caused cars to get bigger, not over consumption. Over consumption is a problem with tech too.

Interesting, maybe I’ll read the book. I’m trying to read more

I don’t know anything about Dune, does it have Magic (the Force)?

Yes, classic stroad design. Although I’m seeing it more often where it’s not possible to make a left turn from the sidestreet.

Shit, I wanted to reproduce his experiment but I don’t have one of those.

I agree. Businesses and owners have too much influence. I want more unions, trust-busting, and consumer protections. Workers seem to be organizing more at least, which is a good start.

I think human nature is inherently greedy and selfish, and capitalism is best equipped to use this in a way that benefits society. Workers are motivated to work harder and learn new skills to find the most rewarding job they can. Businesses are motivated to create products and run as efficiently as possible. Consumers are motivated to get as much value as the can out of their money. Everyone in the equation is acting selfishly and in their own self-interest (which I believe humans are inclined to do anyway) but when applied on a societal level, everyone benefits. However I will concede that this is a balancing act that requires some level of government regulation to maintain.

On the other hand, I think communism only works when everyone acts altruistically. Which is noble, but unrealistic.

I think capitalism is good, but not perfect. Communism is bad.

Do you have a real-world example of a successful communist state? Because you may not like it, but those “communist” countries are humanities best attempts at enacting communism and they resulted in millions of people dying.

That must be the origin of Covid, it explains why they can’t find where it actually came from.

So the tens of millions of people that died under communism were all landlords? Wow, what are the chances of that

I just started a rewatch of The Simpsons. I was only planning to watch the first 10 seasons though, juat because of the drop off in writing quality.

activists at the student-led protest occupation of Alumni Park on campus. The demonstrators were charged with “trespassing.”

Imagine getting arrested for trespassing after paying almost $100K for tuition.

So 100% of women have been sexually assaulted? I don’t believe that.

What horrible people. Hearing their callous disregard for their victims is infuriating.

I’m voting third party, I dislike them both. But don’t worry, I live in a blue state so it doesn’t really matter anyway.

If they can’t find a way to pay a “living wage” they will just reduce their number of employees and make the remaining ones do more work. Or even worse, they’ll be replaced by some form of automation.

It probably didn’t help that at the beginning they said the cloth didn’t help, then changed the messaging later on.

I’d short reddit stock if anything
