  • My father, who was generally a very jovial man and pretty fun, once threatened to beat me with a shovel because I wanted to take a break to rest.

    He died of brain cancer about two years ago and I often wonder how long it was growing.

  • You wrote a lot, and apologies, but I didn't read it all. Communism is an economic theory. Most of your examples are government misconduct, which happens both under communism and capitalism.

    I don't think either are a good system and would like us to work past the need for capital at all.

  • Economic systems are mostly about incentives. What are people incentivised to do by receiving the most reward.

    Capitalism incentivises destroying competition, creating monopolies, expanding the wealth gap, donating to ineffective charities for tax breaks, paying employees as little as possible to protect profits, lobbying congress for no labor protections, and filling the media with nonsense to distract from all this.

    Communism makes it so, in principle, you have no reason to overwork yourself, other than if you enjoy what you are doing.

    At least that is my understanding.

  • Can the legislature just decide to define basket balls as all round objects inflated with air? Does that make soccer a basketball sport?

  • "“The decision to close a store is never easy,” company officials said in a statement. “The simplest explanation is that collectively our Chicago stores have not been profitable since we opened the first one nearly 17 years ago.”

    The stores lose tens of millions of dollars a year, according to the company, a figure that nearly doubled in the last five years despite numerous strategies to boost performance, including building smaller stores, offering local products and building a Walmart Academy training center."

    Doesn't sound like theft was ever the problem here according to them?
