Fractional-reserve banking. Most people have no idea what it is, probably a good thing. You could argue that it's not a "secret", but most people aren't aware of it regardless. I don't think most people would be fond of grinding for $15 an hour if they knew banks could just lend money they don't actually have. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional-reserve_banking

The key word is "majority". I think IPFS will gain more popularity moving forward especially if fascism and censorship continue to rise.

Who passes this law? Who signs it?

Exactly. Exactly.

Our system fucking sucks and is designed to protect land owners which is why we’re in this situation.

Ban corporations/private companies from holding empty residential housing. Problem solved. Not complicated. Our system fucking sucks and is designed to protect land owners which is why we're in this situation. This is fucking up our entire society, slowly bringing us down, we're losing to China. This change needs to happen soon otherwise we're going to see the working class get milked hard enough that our real economy will collapse.

Ban corporate ownership of residential housing and implement a land value tax. Problem solved. Won't happen though, probably shouldn't even give a shit to keep writing this.

If it’s hot outside, we can raise the price of water and ice cream.

If people are starving after a natural disaster, we can raise the price of everything because they're desperate and have no alternatives.

Yea I ran into the same thing about 2 months ago, haven't even gone back to check it. https://lemmy.world/post/14769888

I'd just be grateful you found Lemmy. I suspect Reddit is mostly bot spam at this point hidden as real users. Sucks that so many old posts are now being gatekept, a pinnacle of the real enshittification that's happening right now.

In our beautiful current year of 2024 the fucker is running again after being impeached twice, after losing in 2020, after becoming a convicted felon.

it has been discussed to death with no new arguments on either side

And alas, we continue to put more CO2 into the air and the planet keeps warming.

Amazing how you get downvoted with no reply even though your comment is the truth. People who claim to be environmentalists who are also against nuclear energy are seriously dumb.

Gaben's last dying wish is to make every game work on Linux and donates $1 billion to making it happen.

Yea, amazing wasn't the right word choice. Probably should have used "absurd", "ridiculous" or "bizarre" instead.

I guess "landslide" is pretty subjective. The difference was 74 electoral votes, 7,059,526 voters. He only won

Trump won Michigan by 10,704 votes in 2016, Clinton won the popular vote by 2,868,686 votes.

I don't like this system so I'm done speculating.

Okay so I'll say he will win in 2024 so then I'll be wrong as well. It would be crazy if he won as a convicted felon, after being impeached twice, after losing in 2020 by a landslide.

That's probably why he won't win again. It would be amazing to have a convicted felon as president, he'd go from being a distraction to being the thing that causes serious unrest.

The American people, at least that's what the Founding Fathers would have said.

Look at this graph, when you know, then you know. Fuck all this distraction from the actual problem, orange man is a distraction.

I tried using your workflow, got this LOL

The grass looks like it's attempting to strangle her LOL

Making people in society feel like they own nothing and are getting milked by those few who do own everything is a good way to see things break down, it's happening real time, we're watching it right now in the US.
