The Android app finally works the way you’d expect it. The UI no longer lags due to syncing. Syncing is much faster and more reliable.

He wants the cartels to build domestic manufacturing instead.

This is why I think the narrative that China’s economy is going to collapse due to losing workers over time because of their demographics is false. I think the engineers running China are going to turn to mass automation and AI to increase their workforce’s labour productivity and maintain the ability to make everything.

Whether the Chinese workers would be able to capture more of that higher productivity than their western counterparts is an open question. Given some numbers I’ve seen, so far they have done better in this regard. But I imagine the Chinese capitalist class would be fighting tooth and nail to change that.

Absolutely. And if it’s a large group of people, it’s not difficult to have several people buy a few tickets each.

Weak episode redeemed by throwing the line that jews aren’t Israel and it killing thousands of people makes American jews face increased antisemithism into the mainstream discourse. I don’t think I’ve heard these obvious dots connected in high-profile media. I’m not mad.

The same way everyone else who regulates it does it - require the ID of the purchaser to be presented upon entry. Ticketmaster/LiveNation are simply not interested in curbing scalping as they make directly money off of it. Small independent vendors have employed ID verification for a long time to stop scalping along with explicit obvious messaging that tickets cannot be resold prior to purchase.

Always have been. We had a system where bands didn’t make as much as they humanly could because it was generally accepted that the art of live music wasn’t made just for the enjoyment of the highest bidders in society. And this is still largely true from most artists’ perspective. But they aren’t the one setting the prices anymore and profit maximizing, when playing in most medium-to-large venues in NA.

Buy generic acetaminophen.

I don’t think many here give a flying fuck what the fascists think. We’re just making fun at them with shitposts.

I think this would all but guarantee Democrats supporting gov’t funding to avoid shutdown. Even if doing the opposite might be the better move long-term.

Err, the Epstein list hullaballoo came from the republicans. They wanted them released. They campaigned on the promise of releasing them.

“Democracy sustains capitalism. Capitalism thrives in a democracy."

Buy a loaded submarine on the hush-hush and sail it to Vancouver? I like it.

I don’t think we could realistically hide it from their agents but yeah, totally. That’ll probably be the way if our gov’t decides to do it.

Or maybe servo didn’t mourn the fascist Charlie Kirk enough: This is Ladybird’s Creator.

Oh boy. Yeah, that’s pretty clear. Anyone putting Kirk in a positive position as a genuine debater of ideas has crossed the rubicon or placating someone who has.

Agreed. I just think that would make it certain.

If we could get nukes secretly I’d be all up for it.

I wish but… Do you think they won’t invade us at the whiff of nuclear armament?

If only there was a vaccine…

Can he use some emergency power to fund ICE and other law enforcement during a gov’t shutdown?

It’s not that socialism is a silver bullet that eliminates racism. It’s that capitalism makes it virtually impossible to stop competing for profit growth. This turns more nature and human labour into things, even if we throw those things away. That drives much higher exploitation of resources and people than needed to have decent average standard of living. And when some people organize to stop their own explotation, racism is deployed by capitalists to exploit more the groups that didn’t.

Socialism allows to stop the unlimited profit growth cycle and thus decrease the intensity of exploitation, which allows decreasing or stopping the explotation on the basis of racism. Doesn’t guarantee it but it surely makes it likely. Capitalism makes the opposite likely.

And that’s before we consider class consciousness’ effects on people.
