No, it’s caused by capitalism’s “profit over people” design. The problem is capitalism and greed. Entirely.

I was not speaking of zoning but the simple mathematical fact that the profit obtained by the owning class could, in certain terms, be re-appropriated to the building of houses to solve homelessness.

Right. Also it’s a manufactured scarcity. The too brass of this capitalist system we working class suffer under could clearly fix house scarcity.

We need to teach this as the type of relationship early but frankly society starts off very young teaching people to be “rockstars” and work 80hrs to be better than the “lazy” and the “poors” and in some circles “the immigrants.” This is by

You haven’t been around enough middle mgmt who consider “rockstar” engs disposable like capital budget line items. This is just standard profit over people capitalism.

Because when a corporation has put profit over people and the people were harmed or killed, that corporation deserves to be completely dismantled and the owners (yes: shareholders too) deserve jail. Until capitalism stops treating people li

My stepdad died, this past weekend, and his cause on the death cert was apnea. He used his machine religiously. I need to stop by mom’s house and see which he used. It’s different than mine which is not the recalled type.

This is simply how capitalism works. It’s run by humans who can pretend (market) they care about lives, but the math and shareholder roi promises indicate otherwise. Until industry related to health, safety, and other facets (educ, housing

Oh for sure. I don’t disagree - it’s just so.. easily “faked” too. Nothing is anon but also nothing short of me showing a cop looking over my shoulder is proof positive.

What I don’t understand is how they tie data to a specific human in meatspace. Like my car - I own it but if you drive it, you get the speeding ticket. But with data - sure this post is from a meatspace device registered in my name /

This obligation comes, historically, second to the obligation to reward investors and is only considered in terms of “ratio” and return. They (corps) don’t actually “care” in the way a human with a heart may. They only ever see numbers and

Exactly because spying, to a corporation, is a profit opportunity. They are built to see any opportunity in terms of ROI; spying using data, which is relatively cheap, is a great ROI. Even if it is deplorable.

Thoughts on alternatives? Open sourced ones? I currently use DuckDuck’s browser and wanted to try Brave but it seems to want to push crypto everywhere.

“Understand” - people keep using that word and I don’t think they understand what it means.

Right. But you’ll notice they happened contemporary to each other by the same actor. That’s kind of important. Still doesn’t justify Zionists doing a fucking genocide against people who have been overrun by the same zionists given “pow

You conveniently ignored the “Balfour” part of my comments, too. They were contemporary actions by the British who had no business, at all, to do what they did. “Ends and means” and all of that.

It’s not racism to remind people that nothing ever makes genocide ok. What israel and the US support is doing is a genocide.

What you’re noticing is a sort of active “commodity fetish” with this AI stuff. Just like NFTs only bigger. Just like 80’s era diet pills. Or 90’s era whatevers. It’s a facet of capitalism to drive consumption and move to profit as quickl

Ground fire ladders are about 35’ max. Aerial apparatus (trucks/quints) around the US are normally around 80-110 feet in length. My current tower rig is 85’, our next will be 105. Consider that is ladder length and the “true” height i
