Valid, lowers the price of the resulting meat and thus increases consumption
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 3 days ago:
I’m not a vegan, but the current state of beekeeping is pretty shit. Taking the honey and replacing it with sugar water on top of the stresses of monoculture and killing varied flora with herbicides creating food deserts and using market conditions to race to the bottom on pollination contracts just results in a whole bunch of dead hives. Like you can both support sustainably practiced beekeeping and find the production of industrial honey to be a horror show.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 3 days ago:
Good news: we’ve found ways to satisfy them with the conditions while also killing the hives.
- Comment on The uber wealthy arent leaving. Its a lie. 1 week ago:
Depends on what you mean by economy and financial infrastructure but in the West you’re mostly right. Since globally we’re a market economy dependent on trade, you’d still need financial infrastructure no matter what, even if you’re talking about building loans for starting co-ops or whatever. That doesn’t mean you have to allow capital accumulation to run wild. But the West is built around rent seeking and largely increasing asset pricing. Hell if property values go down and people aren’t able to extract rents from the productive economy most Western nations view that as an economic crisis. They’ll quickly sacrifice employment to prevent that. That’s why it’s so attractive to park capital in Western real estate and other nonproductive “capital”. At least until the parasite grows so large that, whoops the economy can’t run anymore.

It’s almost like the rich themselves aren’t the drivers of the economy but instead it’s the financial infrastructure and the actual producers. Funny that.

- Comment on Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country? 4 weeks ago:
I dunno man, I put words together and put a question mark behind them. I don’t know if that means anything to you or not.
- Comment on Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country? 4 weeks ago:
I’m just trying to connect your reasoning here. Are you implying that billionaires should be brought to heel by popular power or private property should be respected? Do you believe property is an essential right that should give you a megaphone or not? I’m just saying billionaires don’t particularly laugh at Chinese state directives as in the meme.

Ask Jack Ma what being a billionaire in China is worth.

Yeah they’re not hiding this in shell corps like a en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobashi_scheme. It’s out in the open for stupid investors to see and hype themselves over it.

Oh yeah, the juche thing is just a joke, but it feels like someone lazily added crosstabs without thinking about what they meant.

Tend to be younger (59% are younger than 45, compared to 46% of non-democratic socialists aligned with the Democratic Party) and are more likely to be White (57% to 49%)
I really can’t parse what they mean by “non-democratic socialists aligned with the Democratic Party.” Juche supporters? Those younger than 45 who aren’t democratic socialists? What does the percentage have to do with age?

- Comment on Any politician who disagrees needs to go 1 month ago:
I think it’s bad framing. Deficit spending on war should be called out on its own potential badness compared to tax paid single payer healthcare. It’s easy to dismantle this kind of argument compared to explaining the actual plan in simple language. We will save everybody money and supercharge the economy with single payer healthcare by reducing how much you pay, how much your employer pays, and increasing overall quality. And we will pay for it at the same time. The only people who lose are middlemen and vultures whose income stream are dependent on the current system. And the provision of care will be responsive to what society wants (if folks actually take the responsibility to ensure it, which unfortunately Canada and the UK prove they often don’t). Comparing that, a real plan, to just dumping your money into a pit with a useless war and wasteful governance shows that you’re qualitatively different than the idiots who cannot pour piss out of a boot with the instructions on the bottom.

To be sure, the Murphy drip was used extensively in WW1. Kinda makes you wonder what those fucking WW2 coconut iv guys were doing when you had perfectly fine access from the bottom that could take boiled water full of pyrogens just fine. And if you’re in enough of a volume depleted state where a Murphy drip can’t help due to vasoconstriction then all that potassium from a volume infusion of coconut ivs is gonna kill ya anyway.

Yeah but any power gamer loves this math because that 0.6% is still a nearly 30 percent damage reduction compared to the lower grade sun armor so you’ll be stomping those pubs that don’t persue it.

You hope to not see an underclass become exploited care workers/anything the economy has devalued as domestic/woman’s work? Good luck on that Mickey. It certainly isn’t a global phenomenon with feminism having a lot to say about it.
