6 days agoI went to check the prices here in Iceland for a similar order to find to my complete surprise that your order was slightly more expensive, when I expected it to be half the local price. That’s crazy.

I believe the term you’re looking for is FOSS fundamentalist communists 😅
53·7 days agoMan I wish people had commented and linked their sources. A bunch of yes and no’s is not really helpful.
Could you elaborate?
Awesome! Love it!

6·14 days agoTrue, still not a huge fan of forced labour. I don’t like the idea of forced anything really.
the top 50% richest people should have
The rest of people are already working these mandatory jobs.

“The most common argument used in defense of mass surveillance is ‘If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear’. Try saying that to women in the US states where abortion has suddenly become illegal. Say it to investigative journalists in authoritarian countries. Saying ‘I have nothing to hide’ means you stop caring about anyone fighting for their freedom. And one day, you might be one of them.”
Yeah a social media platform full of debuggers is gonna complain about that 😅
Well what you’re calling left wing psudoscience is an article by Economic Policy Institute: https://www.epi.org/publication/charting-wage-stagnation/
They explain their methodology and data sources in meticilous detail, even more so in their report on how they do; https://www.epi.org/publication/understanding-the-historic-divergence-between-productivity-and-a-typical-workers-pay-why-it-matters-and-why-its-real/
If that’s not enough here’s some more stuff:
I agree, yes, the gold standard sucks. My intention was not really to perpetuate that in any way.
Everything you said is just chefs kiss.
“(wage suppression + higher profits for capitalism)” = they stole prosperity from us.
Woah, woah, woah. Here I am just spitting poorly thought out ramblings and you come back with coherent argument! :D
So yes, I totally agree. There is no good old days! Workers were treated like shit. Working in modern day WFH, to put it simply, I’m pampered.
I cite this graph more in context of nobody below a certain age being reasonably able to afford a house (or anything really), unless their parents make the down payment.
“oppression under capital has existed for centuries, not decades.”, yes the parallels between today and serfdom are evident, apart from the rather much better living standard (for most of us).
Gold standard sucks, I am just advocating for a new and different system, certainly not an old and worse one!
So I wholeheartedly agree with you.
Yes this is part of it.
What happened is Nixon fucked up fiat and fucked us all:
This guy fucks 👆
