- Comment on The bosses are never going to just hand workers a 32 hour workweek. 5 days ago:
technically companies today don’t have to always prioritize profit. they just have to follow the orders of the shareholders, and most for-profit investors are gonna demand that profit be maximized.
if you have a company but it’s 51% city-owned then it doesn’t have to maximize profit. the city can set its own goals, such as selling a certain number of items at a certain maximum price or opening up a grocery store in food deserts. public transport is typically a city-owned company, yet prioritizes availability over profit.

starvation isn’t even about how much food you produce but about how much the amount of food supply goes up and down from one year to the next.

The parable of the broken window was introduced by French economist Frédéric Bastiat in his 1850 essay “That Which Is Seen, and That Which Is Not Seen” (“Ce qu’on voit et ce qu’on ne voit pas”) to illustrate why destruction, and the money spent to recover from destruction, is not actually a net benefit to society.

- Comment on Do people really think setting up domestic manufacturing in the USA is easy? 1 year ago:
Consider:
scenario today:
labor cost for product is $3, which goes to a chinese worker. total product cost is $5.
scenario “manufactured in the USA”:
labor cost is $6, which goes to american worker. total product cost is $10.
the product gets more expensive, but the extra expenses partially go to an american worker, which again will spend the money in the US economy, so it doesn’t really cost the national economy that much.
however, the extra $4 in the “manufactured in the USA” scenario go to american middle-management and “investors” a.k.a skimmed by the owning class. that is why the people would still lose out. that is why “home-shoring” in itself is not enough; a wealth tax is also needed.

selective breeding
I wonder, isn’t sexual selection a form of “selective breeding”?
