and people do know what’s in their own best interest the vast majority of the time.
Is that true if the vast majority of people are either uninformed or apathetic?

- Comment on Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops? 1 week ago:
Maybe people won’t become billionaires doing this,
I think the first bit is a big part. Keeping generated wealth is a main selling point for capitalism.
but why wait for a complete overhaul of society to implement more of what are good ideas … I’d also like to see more childcare co-ops, or community shared pre-k schools.
I think this is one part lack of resources. Those who can spare the most for a pool don’t see the need too. Those who need these things the most are still inside a market that does not reward such things. You would need way more low income people to fund the preK and the staff could do better working somewhere else, unless there is an element of altruism to working with low income communities.
A lot of things are market driven in the US and markets are not as good at selecting good ideas as our myths around them suggest. Right to repair is a good example of this. Everyone is better of being able to fix stuff; even if most chose not to. More people would be better with community this or that, but most people do not know about them, or they won’t know how to organize.
It is going to be hard to pick a pragmatic approach that can survive pressures from a for profit market that might have and that people will culturally accept today.

Which gives rise to the true founding father of Germany. Napoleon.
Without his restructuring of the HRE for management it would be even harder to unify later.

- Comment on Is it really possible to tax the rich? 5 weeks ago:
The loan was used to evade taxes. Those loans on stocks are effectively turning their stocks into gains and should be taxed as such.
- Comment on Is it really possible to tax the rich? 5 weeks ago:
Those loans are often several times more than the yearly income and done more frequently.

- Comment on Is it really possible to tax the rich? 5 weeks ago:
If a loan is acting as income (like it does for the ultra wealthy) then it should be treated like income and taxed accordingly.
