@Alec probably why 1/4 employees are part of a "union or confederation" in Switzerland, if my source is good

I mean I can relate but I outgrew that after 4th grade

Do you see voluntary unions as damaging in regard to negotiating aspects like working conditions, or would you apply the same rationality?
2365d · INTJ
this might as well be r/iamverysmart but unironic lol
replied 2365d
As far as I know, unions in for example switzerland focus more on setting baselines for skill/experience, but they are also much less prominent than in places like the U.S.
replied 2365d
you know what, "individual" might not be the right term
2365d · Capitalism
@Alec unions would be more pressured to negotiate based on individual skill and experience, rather than a minimum wage based soley on the position itself.

What's the deal with Coinex mining? How does it work and why would you do it?
2365d · Capitalism
I don't have much of a problem with unions as long as membership is purely voluntary.

Yep, along with the ending of things like the Drug war and other reasons that create more immigration.

I'm all for the natural free flow of humans and labor, but I don't like the current government program immigration has become.

I understand that. Just want to explain that calling me a "fucking retard" doesn't make me wrong. He says he can't have honest discourse but continued to argue all the same.
replied 2365d
Again, not an argument. I could say the same about you but it wouldn't mean shit or discredit your arguments by itself.

@LightRider if you want civil discussion, try being civil. Put down the antifa flag and let's have some productive discussion here.

I smell a strawman

This discussion probably should be in the capitalism topic though

Except they don't. Even the Nordic Model isn't sustainable forever, mounting debt and ever increasing taxes. It works best with a free market and liberty.

I think the beautiful thing about bitcoin is that it has been rapidly increasing in adoption, despite its anti-state ideological foundation.
2365d · Bitcoin Cash
All of those utopias people refer to are fueled by capitalism behind the curtain. Especially the Scandanavian "Social Democracies" that use the Nordic Model.

Like moths to the flame, we tread closer and closer towards authoritarianism under the guise of socialism and "progress."

Heard it can (probably obviously) greatly affect your ability to leave the country too.

Crypto gives me much needed hope for the future, but I do worry about its possible ideological perversion. However, I don't think we can shove it back into Pandora's box, which gives me solace
replied 2365d
So many people (well, investors), do not share the ideals bitcoin was founded on, and that could prove troubling. Just look where EOS is lol

I'm so very tired of people in, for example, the Nano community making posts like "glad we aren't private, we will get rich cuz gov," I think the fight for fungibility is well worth it
