That’s BS, you could definitely afford to live there, it’d just be in a shithole. Which is exactly the point.
- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 2 days ago:
Or rather, they only get the benefits guaranteed to all citizens.
- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 2 days ago:
They never represented “us” in the broad sense.
- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 2 days ago:
Know any politicians?
- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 2 days ago:
I’ve said this for years. Live in dorms. Cafeteria food. Minimum wage. All assets put into trust and in a vanilla total market fund for 5-10 years after service. It should be like jury duty. I’ve not met a single person who disagrees with this system.

I’m sorry who the fuck has a $1000 deductible??? We have decent insurance for the US and the deductible is $7500 each (family plan thru employment)…

Clean up the dog shit in your yard if you don’t regularly. That’s likely part of the issue. Also these fly traps work great (we have dogs and chickens).

Guess what is going to happen though/is already happening…
- Comment on We produce more resources than we could ever consume in the least sustainable ways possible. 3 months ago:
Those issues are really only a result of overuse of inputs driven by meat consumption, fuel ethanol production, and basic misunderstanding/incompetence at agroecology. Not hard problems to solve if regulatory tools can be used. Wouldn’t be an issue if you could get rid of industry groups and lobbyists etc.
- Comment on We produce more resources than we could ever consume in the least sustainable ways possible. 3 months ago:
We should be ecstatic about the population decline. The surplus production from automated/industrial systems can more than make up for the decline in population. The resource issues are purely a matter of distribution. The people who oppose the common sense solutions to the distribution issues can be sidelined or composted.
- Comment on The rich convinced us that taxing them is too complicated but everyday people can be taxed pretty easily 3 months ago:
But none of it is so simple that it can’t be done by a computer. Instead we need a whole industry of middlemen because it’s so convoluted and opaque…but also they know what you owe, and then want you to tell them. It’s fucking dumb.
