sun… LED…
Yeah your friend is an absolute idiot and should ask for his money back from his elementary school
The sun has been around for billions of years and pretty much hasn’t changed color since. Thinking you can “replace” the sun’s “LED” makes me wonder if he is experiencing mental illness, honestly
Amazon’s 1.58 million employees
No company should be able to have more than, say, 10.000 employees. After that, you’re too big to fail. Companies need hard caps on how large they can grow, both in number of employees, as well as in net worth. A y income it makes over that hard cap should go 100% to taxes.
Same for humans. We need hard caps on how much a single human being can own, be worth. No person should have a networth over 1 million dollars. Any income over that goes 100% to taxes
Two simple rules that will change the world. We can keep capitalism, all fine, just cap how much a human being can have as a net worth
IIRC (and heavily paraphrasing here as this isn’t my specialty to say the least) most languages end up having about the same information density because most humans process language at the same speed. Some languages are spoken faster, but have less density in information, where others are slower but have higher information density. In The end it evens out, more or less
From that, without looking at other facts, I’d guess that babies learn it pretty much at the same speed, no?
I wrote this on another post, but copying it here because it’s same shit, different user (or is it?)
Yeah you’re leaving about a tonne of relevant details and context out.
Like that I too can make idiotic assertions.
Ukraine bombed Russian oil refineries! How could they, they’re so evil, can you imagine them attacking European infrastructure?
See what I did there? I left out the little tid bit of Russia being a cruel dictatorship supported by oligarchs who invaded Ukraine for bullshit reasons and has committed genocide multiple times now, which is the reason for Ukraine fighting back.
Now you do you. Look at what you wrote and point out the list of issues that explains all you wrote, but that you conveniently left out.
Illt wait

Of course
That doesn’t take away that he is a draft dodger and should shut the fuck up about anything military because he’s a coward (amongst hundreds of other bad things)
Nothing sensationalist about it, it says exactly what the article is about. We don’t have mega tech companies and that is a good thing
Fuck mega tech companies, long love open source everything
tamper proof system software
Lol, tell me you’re an ancient idiot with zero understanding of computers without telling me that you are an ancient idiot with zero understanding of computers
So that doesn’t exist and is basically pretty much impossible
Then, how about Linux? That goes exactly against the point of why Linux exists in the first place.
So no more Linux computers then? No more Linux servers, then? No more IoT devices?
That rule is bizarrely dumb. Not just bad, just dumb dumb dumb.
So in other words, a perfect law to come from the UK government!
Everytime a police officer loses his job, an ice angel gets their wings
Or something funny like that…
I’d support bombing THAT Gaza.
Nah, better let ourselves be ruled by some sad nazi wannabees, instead of fighting, right?
In case you haven’t noticed: weapons producers are the worst, because they’ll happily sell to your enemies. And in case you haven’t noticed: we got enemies coming out of the whazoo, at this point. So you can bitch all you want about weapons manufacturers, but you’ll be standing in line with them soon enough when the fascists come knocking
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Neyanhu wanted to be there but couldn’t because he’s wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes
I’m sorry, but I found this bit rather funny. Funny in the dark comedy sense of course that all this is based on the tens of thousands of innocents that were murdered on orders of this maniac…
But I do find it hilarious that trump makes a peace board and the only person wanting to join him can’t because he’s a genocidal mass murderer who would be arrested on sight if he got anywhere near a democratic country.
Of course that happened, that happens every time when you buy things but then don’t own them.
I’ll buy cams for my home, but they’ll be for ME alone because they’re MY cameras, MY video.
Obligatory fuck Amazon and fuck the USA
Maybe, but I feel he’s like Churchill.
He sucked badly as a politician, selfish little prick that used “I cannot remember that I fucked over those people” waaayy too many times, but I also feel he’s the right guy for the right place for the right time
Time will tell.
Macron told the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that now was “not a time for new imperialism or new colonialism”,
I’d go as far as to say that ever is not a good time for new imperialism or new colonialism
Never again
The Dutch authorities are also very wary about declaring the US an unsafe country and provoking Trump, said Shrover. They think: ‘How will it look? How will the Americans respond to that? We can’t do this to our most important ally, saying that they don’t have a functioning democracy.’”
Important? Very
Ally? At this point, it’s our enemy
No, they don’t deserve to be richer than you
First off, “smarter” is a really hard concept. Do you think Elmo Musk is smarter than you? He’s a conman and an idiot and I guarantee you he isn’t smarter than you
Then there are people that have certain specializations. They know everything about very little. This means they are very smart nonbthe subjects they know about and well, not so smart in others
There are also the true geniuses, but those usually don’t end up uber rich. The theoretical physicists under us aren’t known for being billionaires
Then there is just the basic question: what is smart? Somebody who mnaged to make a lot of money? Usually that’s not smart, it’s stepping on others backs. Musk made a lot of money but he did it by lying and scamming (and he continues to this day)
And even then… Let’s assume for a second that there are objectively smarter people out there, do they deserve more than you and I, just because of good genetics? Fuck that Nazi shit.
I want a world wide wealth cap. Say, 1 million dollar (pinky pushing against corner of mouth)
We can keep capitalism as-is, all fine, but when your networth gets higher, your income taxes get higher… when you reach 1 million, 100% goes to taxes
This way, we have the strengths of capitalism yet no more millionaires. Without millionaires, a huge amount of shit that comes with them, disappears too. Governments on the other hand get a huge tax income that they can spend on free healthcare, free education, universal basic income, you name it. Nobody will be super rich, nobody will ever be poor again.
The 1M is a random number I pulled out of my ass, but the point stands. We need to cap how much net worth a single person can have. There is no explicit right that says you should be allowed to hoard money and art and networth.
Within that limit we can allow people to do what they want. What to buy an expensive house? As long as it’s under the max, sure!
Those crazy ass houses with 500 rooms from oligarchs? Convert them into hotels. Same goes for those crazy luxury ships, make small cruise ships out of them. Ban private jets unless for things where it makes sense, like medical transportation or something
We don’t NEED private jets for anyone, especially not in the age of video calls
Billionaires and millionaires are the main reason why democracy is dying, why the world’s environment is dying, why things are as bad as they are, today.
Ban millionaires, ban billionaires and let everybody be as “rich” as they want within the wealth cap.
Whatever you do, do NOT accept a payment to leave. This is YOUR land, YOUR country, YOUR inheritance in this world
Plus, you know, you’re dealing with a professional scammer. I guarantee you that you will never see a dime if you accept and leave
Take my money, I want to watch that
So slavery is back on the table now for the US as well? I mean, it happened all the time but hush hush and only amongst criminals, now it’s going to be government policy?
A certain type of people might start scratching themselves behind the ears on where this one is going… I would not be waiting until they’d come knocking on doors, so yo speak
