When will we break from this cycle of opting for shitty solutions and practices?
I recently interviewed and there’s a quiet resignation of “well, this is how it is everywhere”. Why? What’s driving this? Why are the work cultures so bad, prioritizing speed and heroic efforts over systems, long term thinking?
We should have ranked choice voting
One’s a top the other’s a bottom ? 😏
This looks very cool!
It’s not young vs old, it’s capital-owning class vs everyone else. AI is trying to solve a trillion dollar problem: paying wages. If you live off wages you hate ai because it endangers your livelihood. If you live off your capital you love ai because you get more of the pie.
Very cool! Gotta keep them healthy to keep them working to compensate for the impending demographic upheaval
In California the property taxes are such that it punishes people that didn’t buy a house 30 years ago. The apartment I rent pays property taxes on a valuation of ~$250k. This property just went for sale at $1.2 million. Whoever buys it now will pay property taxes on a $1.2 million valuation, while right now due to how the law is structured, the current owner pays taxes on $250k.
It’s just a big fuck you by the system. The tax law was modified because they saw that if they kept increasing the tax proportionally with the market value of the home, soon a bunch people would lose their homes because wages are stagnant and home prices are rocketing. So they passed this cap that helps current homeowners.
I don’t know if there is a reasonable tax under these conditions where home speculation and investment-mindset inflates home prices while wages are stagnant and inflation is a bustling.
Do wealth tax instead!!!
Inequality is the cause of poor living standards. We need higher taxes on inheritance, wealth. And weaker taxes on workers.
This is from 1894, nothing has changed, the systems are still in place and arguably have grown to cover a wider spread of the socioeconomic classes.
It blows my mind, for all the advances in technology, human nature hasn’t changed and we’re still exploiting our fellow people. It’s just one “fuck you” after another
Ah so stock dilution is the proposed plan
To represent the American empire being vulnerable to drones
In the words of Trump to a soldier’s widow: “he knew what he signed up for”
There’s a very funny book called the Art of Procrastination, and his secret to deal with procrastination is to use other projects to procrastinate. That way you’re always working on a project, it may just not be the one deemed highest priority.
I would like to learn more, do you have some links? Or where are you hearing about these?
Huge asymmetry using cheap drones to destroy millions of dollars of radar equipment.
Why are we doing this dumb thing again? Because he rapes kids
Can he get rabies and die please

Get some stocks, be a cynical investor and at least make money. The powers that be are going to keep printing money to inflate the debt away. Lower interest rates might be in the horizon too. All these inflationary forces are unlikely to stop any time soon. Benefit from this by owning assets. Most of us are priced out of property, so stocks of high quality companies are the last place we can go to own an asset that can benefit from all this inflation.
Lastly, and this so much easier said than done, unionize. The article touches on this but the disparate wealth redistribution and inequality of today is traced back to the weakening of unions.
From what I’ve found this part of the case is more about legal theory: is uber liable for criminal conduct by drivers? The jury said yes they are.
The sexual assault is still described as alleged in the articles so I think that part is still up for trial?
They want full control of narratives. They’ve got cbs, tik tok and twitter.
This news is old referring to Asia’s Monday opening, which is in a sense just following the price action of the US stock market from Friday which was red.
Today the US stock market was green, and the Korean stock market is up 3.6% right now.
News articles this old should not be posted imo.
