No I think he’s saying the government should not get to decide which speech should and shouldn’t be allowed. For example in the US the government attempted and was somewhat successful in banning speech that favored communism which was in no

I disagree, it’s special because it’s owned collectively by the people living in the community without some for-profit middleman rent seeking inflated payments for sub-par service. This isn’t some victory for capitalism and free markets. Th

> Speaking of health care, the DEA would not go away if illicit drug addiction were solved. They are the ones who license physicians to prescribe medication. So are y'all advocating for OTC-everything, and no controlled substances?

Yes and the legislature would have one less argument to enact mass surveillance if there wasn’t this “convenient” drug problem in the US. And if we had a universal healthcare system then maybe this wouldn’t be as big of a problem and politi

Or we could pass universal healthcare and get drug addicts the healthcare they need to fix their addiction problems and thus lower demand for the products. Nah, let’s create a massive surveillance state and keep drug addicts homeless and li

It does when all the land in a country is privatized and people can’t sustain themselves without being coerced into an employer-employee agreement where the employer has all the leverage.

Since when does running a business mean you have to be a billionaire? Do you think only businesses worth billions of dollars should exist? And all small and medium sized businesses shouldn’t?

There’s many things we can do to address the problem without resorting to seizing all of their wealth in a single year. 1. A wealth tax of 1% (we pay property taxes today this is no different) over a wealth of $10 million 2. End share buyba

What an embarrassingly privileged comment. The US funds terror around the world for their own benefit. Millions die because of the actions of the US or are effectively enslaved for the benefit of US capitalists to sell overpriced products t

Don’t worry, I’m sure Elon will find a way to integrate those charging networks with the screens inside his cars to show you ads there too. What’s better than showing ads on a small screen at a gas station? Showing ads on a big screen insid

Landlords don’t build housing, what gave you that idea? Construction companies build housing, home builders build housing. Landlords purchase existing housing and rent it for a monthly fee. No I’m not suggesting we eliminate renting altoget

Did you read the last part of my comment? Go live in a hotel if you want to. You could argue my language was a bit extreme when I said add nothing of value, I will admit that. However, the situation with housing is different than cars or co

Or ban rental properties and force them to sell. Landlords add nothing of value to society. I don’t care if they’re corporate or “mom and pop”. They rob people of generational wealth and monopolize housing. Very little need for them. Except

by boredpeter 4y ago
Are you implying that housing just disappears if there aren’t landlord to monopolize it? That’s hilarious. Remove landlords and now you have housing that can be purchased by residents through a bank loan. Can’t afford the down payment? No p

Tesla actually did give model 3 performance owners in 2018 the option of getting a check for $5k after they made the performance upgrade option free. The only downside was you would lose your free supercharging for life. But that was back b

How does turning the poorest people in a country into wage slaves "benefit" those poor countries? Those poor people would be better off just being self sufficient farmers at that point. Workers at foxconn were literally killing th
