In your worker co-op utopia, when say you envision the workers as the owners, how exactly does one change jobs then? Would I be forced to sell my ownership any/every time I wanted to leave a job? If not, wouldn't I just be an outs

Because they're not moving away from San Francisco, they're moving to San Francisco. And they're moving away from those friends and family that you were referring to, to do so. The solution is simple. Stop moving to the

Except I'm right, which matters more. The best way to help people is to be honest with them. Validating their feelings might make you feel good, but it does them a disservice. I'd rather be right and sound like an asshole than tel

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said "Our data from the CDC today suggests that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don't get sick, and that it's not just in the clinical trials, but it's also in real-world data.&q

What would be the advantage of removing sole proprietorships, partnerships etc though? If worker coops are already one existing type of business in a capitalist system, why would we limit ourselves to just that type and remove others?

So what do we do with people who simple refuse to pretend that transwomen are women? Is that even a bigoted position in your mind? We still need to make sure transwomen get prostate exams, but we would never instruct women to do so. We stil

Think about what you're saying logically. The US is huge and the vast majority of humans do not live in those same handful of high COL cities so no, everybody's friends and family don't all live in SF/LA/NYC/Se

Yes, as shown elsewhere on this thread, thousands of those types of houses are available in countless metro areas around the US. They're just not in San Fran or LA or Seattle so people don't want to take advantage of it. They must

See above, and try it yourself. On a $150k house a first time buyer can use FHA to put 3% down, and if FHA approved the sale then by definition it is not a fixer upper. That means a first time buyer can get into a $150k house with FHA for $

The problems are mostly self-inflicted. Nobody is forcing them to all move to the same 5 cities and then wonder why houses are so expensive there. Nobody is forcing them to spend their lives on social media despite every study showing the n

They haven't solved anything, and it appears there is no desire to solve because then they would stop being victims. It's just too comforting to be able to blame any shortcomings on something other than your own effort. Don't

This reads so dystopian that I'm hoping it was said in jest. It's scary that I have to ask though, too many people actually think like this.

No pathway to homeownership? Only if you insist on buying your dream home in your dream city where everyone of your peers also wants to live. Meanwhile right now I can link you to search results on Zillow showing thousands of starter homes

Banning cash is the most efficient way to control marginalized and poor communities. The only question is if that is intentional, or just a happy little coincidence. All Hail Visa/Mastercard/Amex, hallowed be thy names.

If you think you think you need therapy for every little thing, how exactly would you function as an adult? Adults develop coping skills. If you can't cope with anything, you can't function as an adult.

Your entire post goes against the data which shows this generation was coddled (probably too much) and that they statistically have it better than any generation in the history of mankind. If anything, it appears the problem is that they ha
