- Comment on How do we stop people from defending billionares and trillion dollar companies? 5 days ago:
More power, more reputation. People automatically flock to trillion dollar companies.
If you want to stop people you have to stop it for all companies. You have to make brands less important.

There would be no trash flying around if people would carry it to the next bin. Let’s start with that. No people in power will work against it. Can we do it?
- Comment on Let’s start protecting people instead of profits 1 week ago:
Which means I don’t have to pity anybody who is stuck in their current life.
- Comment on Let’s start protecting people instead of profits 1 week ago:
People settled entire continents. I am not claiming this as my idea. I am more puzzled that people don’t do it. Why was "let’s flip a district” not successful?
- Comment on Let’s start protecting people instead of profits 1 week ago:
Where do you see the problems? I think the biggest obstacle is finding the people. Once that’s solved everything else will be solved by the people who want to live in such a city.
- Comment on Let’s start protecting people instead of profits 1 week ago:
This is all possible without asking Trump.
All the people who want this: Pick one city to move to. Then build the housing with solar cells, public transport and a hospital.
If banks don’t finance this, have a lottery. One half has to stay and make money, the other half moves and builds the city. Once the city is profitable, the other half moves there, too.

To look good for work, obviously!
- Comment on If we flipped the script, and the people working the shittiest jobs in America got Elon Musk money for working what would happen? Then gave the rich the same wage the lowly worker would earn? 2 weeks ago:
It would be outsourced to independent contractors who bid for the jobs.

a) It is entertaining because it reflects reality
b) They don’t because if they were I couldn’t assume that most parents would assume that their children will become capable of doing chores.
Sounds like sealioning to me.
Maybe. I just wanted to see if you had put some thoughts to it.
- Comment on Felt cute, might delete later 3 weeks ago:
Most parents think so and yet the meme is upvoted. What gives you the confidence that she will be capable?

How will your daughter do the chores once she lives alone and you are not around?
- Comment on Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country? 3 weeks ago:
Rampant capitalism won’t save them there.
That’s why they have an advantage over the west. They can put a limit to the Capitalism.
- Comment on Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country? 3 weeks ago:
Compare China to other countries that were poor in the 1970ies and China becomes impressive.
The USSR tried without billionaires and they are gone.
Europe has good healthcare because we had to look good compared to eastern Europe. We are cutting costs and in 10 years we likely will be much closer to the US system.

Jesus can’t do much if the rich kids don’t share their food with the poor kids but mock them instead.
If the state feeds the student the next generation will demand that the people in need will be fed, too. Without lunch, the rich have learned to look away.
- Comment on Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions 3 weeks ago:
The EU is a trap. Once Russia and China are destroyed, the western Elite will also treat the average citizens like they treat Africans and third world Asians. The elite is only good to people they need and once they control everything they need nobody to fight for them.

Is this true? How do people vote for parties that don’t change it?
- Comment on Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country? 4 weeks ago:
They are not treated like Iraq or Iran. That alone is a success, for every citizen.
The difference to the West is that the party stands above the billionaires. That means they have working healthcare despite billionaires.
- Comment on Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country? 4 weeks ago:
They don’t want to be dominated by the West. Propping up the West makes the West dependent. Still, China could stop propping at any time.
- Comment on Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country? 4 weeks ago:
this proves they can become independent
Technically the variety of Chinese businesses proofs that and not the amount of wealth.
Also, what you describe is not capitalism, it is fascism (state and corporate merger on policy) The answer is China has many fascist qualities
I wanted to say that in China the party holds the power and not the billionaires. Though nowadays billionaires can become members and corruption has given party members billions.

A winner only tries again if they have a chance at winning.
- Comment on Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country? 4 weeks ago:
IMHO China is a more capitalist country than the USA. 12h workdays 6 days a week
Communism doesn’t mean that everybody can slack off. If people don’t work enough it’s difficult for them to catch up with Capitalism, like USSR and Eastern Europe have shown.
All that work has paid off for China. Unlike any other country they have a shot at being independent from the West.
Capitalism means that the people who control the means of production also control politics. That’s not true in China, so that people there can hope for a better life despite AI and robots.

I am not aware that Stalin had planned to extinguish entire races. Stalin did some genociding but no final genociding. There is no question which country I would choose as a minority.

Good points. I think the biggest obstacle is that these require reliable structures from voluntary engagements.
