Re: Capitalism Arguments
The below is US specific. Andrew Yang's talk about programs like UBI just giving people money with less strings and much less wasted money going into admin overhead sounded pretty good when I heard it forever ago. Even without UBI, I think the disability system we currently have has something baked ...

Re: Capitalism Arguments
(Wealth inequality in the US is looking worse over time and I don't think anyone will argue with that.) Most of my Qs were about figuring out the scale of what you were talking about and what sort of path or trajectory you would have in mind for transitioning from where we are to whatever your goal ...

Re: Capitalism Arguments
it is no longer helping anyone who isn't the top 10%. And that is fucked up, yo. Quick question. We talking 10% of the world or 10% within a given country? Stuff that springs to mind: ⋅ Socialized systems scale may very differently depending on things like degrees of cultural homogeneity ...

Re: Taxes
Oh dang, my email recently reminded me I have an ID.me account. Probably for my Nexus card? Should I be worried about that? At least in Michigan, I'm well above the income level that allows for free state e-file. Some state DMVs' online renewal and such required ID.me, so some people may already su...

Re: FinalFight Discord?
Odd question, but would libera.chat terms permit hosting something like #ff? IIRC freenode was more for OSS and projects, rather than being a "hey nerds wanna hang out on our network dime" thing.

Re: FinalFight Discord?
It's also not ideal for privacy. But the usability is way better.
That said, there are still other IRC networks you could move #finalfight to.

Re: The Democrats Will Also Shit Themselves.
Not sure if watching YouTube clips or something had me miss a core part of the show as it actually aired, but wasn't the point "both Biden and Trump are old, so who gives a fuck" and "during depositions, saying you don't recall is common enough even when younger [as illustrated by inc...

Like, even if we go with Biden's belief that the Israelis doing the killing are just "a few bad apples" you are lending military aid directly to the apples. I don't condemn every Israeli civilian the same way I don't condemn every Chinese civilian or Russian civilian, and I know many Isra...

I appreciate how this is a very straightforward statistical failure in how he went and gathered seemingly extensive data, but only from a single age bracket. Textbook-worthy example of sampling bias.
What?

Re: Misinformation Peddlers
It's a myth that people get more conservative as they get older. They get more conservative as they make/have more money. The reason Boomers thought (and think) that age equals conservatism is that the majority of Boomers made a lot of money as they aged and saw themselves and all their friends sta...
