Well that didn't take long to resort to name calling in lieu of making an argument. Children call names. Adults refine and hone reason as a skill to cooperate and solve problems.
The world makes a lot of sense when you realize most people still behave like children.
It is absurd to think people just want to flood into America to claim welfare.
The surest way to know people dont want to go to USA (or any country) for welfare is to get rid of welfare. There are other positive externalities to living in developed coutries tho.
I don't understand too much about patents, but if you post in memo about a idea, don't you risk to be patented by someone else before than you? Maybe you could publish the hash of the idea...
Today is stress test day! Every time someone likes this post at least one more post will be sent depending on the tip amount. Happy stress test day everyone! I hope this is not too annoying , it is just for today 24h.
Obviously a new contributer to global warming is the steam blowing out of LightRider's ears when they hear about people being properly rewarded for contributing more to society than them.
First cutoff on the blockchain for me. Preserve human fallibility forever!
Welcome to the H.onesty O.rganization P.lanet E.arth. Extending H.O.P.E one memo at a time to those whose fear of being discovered in mistake needs a reality check.
For offering jobs/projects/work/contracts for time+effort+resources transactions. Link from here to a transient website entry so it can be appropriately revised/deleted/updated/etc.
Here is a good satirical representation of the images, Not saying it is how it actually is, but it is how it can look to those looking from the outside.
That depiction of leftist fantasy world is even worse than the right wing version: So much ridiculous dehumanization on both sides.
The One Law is a useful tool to identify Authoritarians with agendas against Freedom. Merely ask if The One Law is crazy: http://archive.fo/8ndKa Authoritarians will always answer "YES"
The most effective unions will always be in the professions with the highest skill, high barriers to entries and already high market wages, but it is understood (mistakenly) that is the opposite
I didn't know exchanges did such things, but still no different than usd or other fiat really
Try sending your coins to LocalBitcoins or any gambling site. Coinbase will ban your account for TOS violations. They watch your money, after it leaves their exchange.
State power, which is the most likely source of catastrophe, is married to corporate power. A "pure capitalism" that is free market + free exchange is as mythical as "the Soviet Union"
That may have been true in the past. We now have better tools to support a free market in the absence of government. Obviously such a system will not be realized overnight.
"we now have the ability to kill ourselves, but we do not have the ability to save ourselves." It's clear that humans can destroy earth. It's very unlikely we can create another one.
Pure hysteria. You are talking about what you think capitalism might do versus what socialism did do. Draw up a step-by-step scenario where capitalism kills the earth if you can.
Nobody is entitled to a certain wage, regardless of how hard they work. People who cannot support themselves without handouts should learn to live with less.
The stupid often dig themselves into financial holes due to a series of bad decisions. Their behavior should be shunned and contained lest it destroy what our fathers built with their own sweat.
My point is that anyone can complain that a wage isn't livable. The criteria are entirely arbitrary. Some people make do and invest in themselves and others whine while making more bad decisions
I'll tell you how I kept my head above water: I swam harder. I pared down my expenses and lived a thrifty but still very pleasant lifestyle. I ate better than the kings of old on poverty wages.
