The future is already here. It’s just unevenly distributed.- William Gibson
Basic services should all be free to any human.
Yeah, the spirit of your comment i agree with, but not the letter.
Nothing should be completely free, because nothing is free. Water needs processing, electricity needs a grid, sewage needs treatment, etc.
Basic things should be affordable for all: housing, water, electricity, internet, food etc.
But “free” creates incentives to be careless with resources. Which is counterproductive to making sure they are available for all at affordable prices.
at this point in time… All hunger, all deprivation, all poverty
Is because SOMEONE wants it so. Not because circumstances make it so
Propaganda
Hard to believe people work sixty hours. Got a decent living over here in Europe and am currently reducing from 40 to 35, just because.
Maybe you forgot to type ‘/s’?
No, why would you work 60 hours a week?
Because rent is going up 30% a year while pay is going up 3%.
Lol
It seems you are the only one who is laughing about that :)
Everyone doesn’t live in 1st world countries.
I’m in one of those places where people barely make a living even after pretty much working to death. I am still a student and I have been lucky enough to be born into a more fortunate family. I don’t have firsthand experience, so I will give an example.
A good example is my teachers. They have a 6 to 5 job 6 days of the week, and their monthly salary is equivalent to 865USD.
The fact that I can use the internet and tech as much as I want is a blessing
When I was a security guard I used to work 48 hours a week. Never known anyone works 60 hours a week.
You don’t know many factory workers then. Even unionized factories have mandatory overtime.
Temporarily embarrassed millionaire syndrome. “I can’t vote against what the rich people want, because what if I become rich some day?” Completely missing that they, in the course of their entire lives, will not make as much as what most of the rich assholes of the world make in a day/hour/minute/second.
EAT THE RICH.
You forgot the part where rich make sure that poor remain poor.
Always remember the dishwasher and why it was invented. Then apply that to EVERYTHING man-made. It’s alway to save time, for someone who is not you.
Why the bunny girl outfit. Bunny girls are liars?
For-profit media sells what people will buy. Hollywood movies tend to put women in revealing outfits (men too really). A guy wearing a drab, comfortable t-shirt draws much less attention. Though Don’t Look Up was a fantastic exception:-). Still, all else being equal, the barriers are higher for the right booth than the left bc the inherent interest factor is lesser.
Because inequality creates incentive. The bigger the difference between the bulk of the society and the top percentages of earners the more people are willing to risk to reach the top. That’s why there are more successful startups in the US than in Scandinavia.
It’s a global rat race and the US is “winning”.
Do you know how long it takes for crops to grow?
What are you implying with that comment?
That long work days are still necessary, technology isnt fully there to automate everything
have you seen modern farming? these days there are tractors that can be set to follow a route and the driver just has to monitor things.
yeah it’s not completely automated, but it’s extremely disingenuous to imply that we’re closer to traditional farming than we are to full automation.
But the farmer is not eating all the crops them self. And it doesn’t have to be one farmer doing all the work.
