Would Biden break an Occupy like Obama did?
I'm extremely down in Facemeta. But no one is entitled to the services of another person/entity (without a contract/agreement).
You can require payment, that's fine. But you can't require they use or carry your service.
If you don't like them being called capitalist, then your quarrel is with a whole heap of people (and academics).
The question, like I alluded to earlier, isn't whether they are capitalist, but a question of how much. And many, after careful study, have determined them to be capitalist.
Those determinations are based on measurable things and philosophy (somewhat).
Also: you are clearly not my original intended audience. In the referenced thread I was getting low-effort, glib comments that snowballed upvotes.
Not unlike the person who deemed me to be a republican. It's easy to look at my post history.
I'm not a republican. But glib is easy. And glib, low-effort posters were the primary intended audience. Know-it-alls.
Good reply, thank you.
And I'll defer to your categorization and consider the reading recommendation.
I weighed calling them socialist, but it seemed... unhelpful when what i was trying to highlight that the unemployed youth are relying on family, and not the state.
The responses yesterday seemed to think China is just giving away money. They aren't.
Also: all developed nations are socialist. What people argue over is where lines are drawn.
Exhausted by the pressure to succeed as a photographer, Litsky Li accepted a better offer: quit work to become one of China’s growing legions of children paid by their families to stay home.
A thread yesterday had a variety of people asking if the unemployment is lower because the youth are well cared for.
Please click through and read for additional context. Families are helping. Parents age and are not a long-term plan except for the most unusually wealthy.
Please remember: China is nominally communist. Functionally, they are capitalists with an usual side of excess infrastructure spending. A strong central government doesn't make a country communist.
Their land use rules... that makes them communist-ish. But that's a small part of a far larger picture.
ITT: a lot of "either/or"
I'm not sure that evolution cares one wit about any of our theories. If it means I'm the dad and I'm the dad more often... then it will be favored.
If I enjoy it more, she enjoys it more or it means that my sperm have increased likelihood of winning... that's all that matters.
And when I say "or" above, it can include any of those things. It need not be exclusive.
They have no heart or soul, only brief flickers of "try" followed by "squirrel!"
If everyone who claims that is a loon (and they may be), then the leakers are auto-discredited.
Again and with clear emphasis because it looks like it was missed: I'm not saying UAPs are extraterrestrial. I'm making a meta-point.
If leakers are almost automatically easily classed as loons, then any inquiry isn't an inquiry. They may be off their rockers.
And even "super-advanced tech" need not have extraterrestrial origin. But UAPs happen. We all seem to have forgotten O'Hare. Whatever happened was in passenger jet airspace.
Regardless of what planetary origin, UAPs deserve inquiry.
This is a thought provoking book. The author was even interviewed by Colbert and presented very cogently. Which is why I bought and read it.
Before anyone knee-jerks, it attempts to only use the most credible UAP encounters and looks at them with skepticism and a scientific mind.
A professor in China estimated that if non-students not actively seeking work were included, the youth jobless rate in March was as high as 46.5%.
It wouldn't though. I'm not saying UAPs are extraterrestrial. I'm saying as long as each person who leaks is met with plenty of, "no, you're crazy." It would help contain it.
Both with pressure and delegitimization. Now... proof is the thing that's required. Not simply testimony.
No. It was alpha. If Google approves, look for excitement tomorrow.
I can accept a day or two of delay if I get a functional app for lemmy. I miss Sync so much...
Let's see where things are in 3 years. China has been economically and politically stable for some time now. If the others hold, too... we may see a bifurcation, where enemies jump over (e.g Iran).
I'm not sure it would grow to include a global euro, although that currency makes more sense to me than BRICS (for now).
BRICS could make it. But if it does, I will be without the R or with a very weekends one.
It's set for after Super Tuesday. He'll ask for a further delay. She'll absolutely consider if he's got viable numbers.
I bet it's half of why that date was chosen. And why Trump isn't making too much noise about it. Stay quiet and people don't notice what just happened.
Trump can fuck off to jail. I'd like to see him tried for treason.
DeSantis has shown he's a non-starter.
At this point they're hoping for a dark horse pro-retreat candidate.
All systems require a check on greed and something that pulls things back to balanced. What we have (in the US) right now isn't it.
SCOTUS has not helped in the least.
We need incentives for participation because "the feels" isn't enough to motivate most to work all that much. But we need taxes and laws to keep things from skewing like they have.
With the country built into the community name. Less confusion and wasted energy that way.
I think getting actionable advice was the point of the thread.
Editorials are often seen as disrespectful and dont get the engagement you'd hope (this isn't a news community).
The guy who won "over a billion" (that's not what he got to keep) has headlines with his full name, what real estate he's bought, lawsuits brought against him and he's had to get body guards.
Because california forces a person to claim it and anonymity isn't allowed.
Yes. Mostly recently.

Grieve. Be kind to yourself, be kind to them. Allow yourself to feel without resisting the feelings. But don't chase them either.
There isn't a right way to feel for most of this.
Part of grieving is reflection (usually). Remembering good times, bad times and wish-they-were-different times. Find a way to be with those moments and accept them as they are: moments. They aren't lost, just future ones will be different.
And that's okay. Or it will be. And you'll be okay, too.
I ruminate too. I tell myself it helps me learn, helps me grow, helps me remember not to "x". It rarely helps. It's just a conditioned response that makes me feel more control while i actually lose some.
What truly helps is healing. Learning that sometimes compatability isn't a you tho Ing or a them thing. But it's still a thing and somebody called the spade a spade.
If you weren't up to your standards, then rise. Otherwise, coat yourself in patience. Listen to YouTube videos like Tara Brach. Be honest with yourself as you heal. We all have barbs, we all have scars.
I like all this and I'll add that for those who choose to participate, there is more than enough. For those who opt out, there is no lack.
But numbing oneself isn't a passtime.
And all are treated with respect and freedom for all is a primary principle.
In essence: this and the other post that includes no scarcity and the end of capitalism.
