I’m not surprised. The quality of education has been going downhill and there’s been a recent vaccine scare.

Damn you raise a good point. Afterall capitalism is when the means of production is owned by small elite, and socialism is also that but like even more.
IMO the issue isn’t that there’s too much negative content, but that there isn’t enough of everything else. I’d encourage people to post, engage with and signal boost other kinds of content they’re interested in. May just be that politics and social issues are some of the most popular interests in the community.
seems they’re a little upsetti spaghetti about US letting Ukraine launch attacks across the border with their weapons.
Some truly goofy goobers
I would have become a socialist way sooner if Tankies weren’t so prominent. ‘USSR good’ is not a great selling point.
Only 160k? Damn, I hope for democracy’s sake he tries a little harder to win back the voters he lost over Gaza.
Let me put it another way: There are lots of people who believe that the US and co are at least fair on this issue. It’s worth assuming that for every narrative and impression given by the media there will be people who accept them.
So I think there’s a lot of utility in putting yourself in that frame of mind and then thinking: ’ If I believed this, what would make me question it? ’
The arrest warrant isn’t for genocide. It isn’t mentioned at all. It’s about mass killing and using starvation as a weapon of war. Joe and his team obviously knew that before issuing the statement, so this must be intentional misrepresentation. So if anyone is under the impression that the US is just a neutral and unbiased third party; here’s a clear cut example of them lying to support the Netanyahu government.
I imagine they’d go under if they rely on the general public as their customer base. Companies that cater to the wealthy would probably grow. Companies are created and go bankrupt all the time, individuals in the owner class will win or lose but that won’t affect the broad distribution of power. If it gets really bad feudalism might come back.
There would still be a profit incentive in this case even if they charged 1% of what they’re asking for. They’d still be making a 50% profit. A margin that would be highly favourable in basically any other industry. The whole point of market competition is to drive down that profit margin and pass the savings on to customers. A 95% markup like here demonstrates that the health industry is completely immune to market forces.
I’d argue that impressions like that are given by somewhat misleading articles like this.
Only by abolishing poverty can Bentley sales go up. Bentley shareholders 🤝 the working class, allies in the fight against capitalism.
A lot of people have left-leaning economic views ( tax the rich ) but there’s basically no political or media representation of those views. ( because the rich run the media and government )
The people who wanted it shut down talked about local safety issues like groundwater contamination. Green advocates generally understand that nuclear is better for CO2 and it’s dumb to shut them down. Feel like the article is muddying the issue by using ‘green’ to mean multiple things.
I think the question is backwards. I think Republicans market themselves as being the ‘christian’ party because they rely heavily on religious and emotional arguments to support their positions ( because they’re wrong )
They did this in the UK and it worked. The Cali law just has dumb ass loopholes in it.
Those are made of PET which is one of the most recycled types of plastic ever.
I think a big factor is the western labour movement wrestling away some of the prosperity created by the industrial revolution. Developing nations have profitable industries but the wealth doesn’t make it’s way down to the average citizen because they haven’t forced it to happen. The small minority of people who do profit from dirt cheap labour are quite happy for things to stay that way indefinitely, and so it does, because they are the ones who hold political and financial power.
I’m not endorsing it ffs, I mean a bunch of people have gotten spooked by vaccines over covid.
