The reality of capitalist economies has turned out to be: Living in the freest and richest nations the world has ever seen. If you’re too hot you can set the thermostat to cool down and if you’re too cold you can just turn the heat up.

You have ample choices for food, leisure and activity. More than anyone else has ever had in all of human history.

You only need to work a fraction of an hour for a meal, instead of all day long (and often working for days on end and not ever bringing home anything to eat)

You’re the most comfortable any human has ever been. Surviving is so easy for you, you feel the need to complain that ITS NOT EASY ENOUGH.

I’m generally baffled that an anti-capitalist user base even exists to be attracted at all.

Having criticism is one thing, but this thread just reads like State Propoganda from the CCCP

Think about if you had a flat tire in your car. You go to get another tire to replace the one with a hole in it.

But the tire factory only manufactures 300 tires a day. Because they only have a handful of employees who feel like making tires and they only really want to work around 10 hours a week.

Now tires are pretty rare. And that means they are difficult to find. Also, rarity is a supply and demand thing, so now tires are also incredibly expensive. People want a lot of them, but the tire manufacturing plant doesn’t make enough.

Oh, and while you were inside the shop being surprised at the 22 month wait for your replacement tire, and the $3,500 price tag for just the single tire, the other 3 tires were stolen off your car in the parking lot.

Cause people don’t want to pay those prices, or wait that amount of time, which has lead to a massive car tire black market

It’s pretty obvious by the language you’re using that you’re a communist ‘selling your time to capitalists’ isn’t really very subtle

I don’t understand why these people think they’d have All this free time.

If there wasn’t an industry to sell us all the things we buy, people wouldn’t just volunteer to do it.

You’d be spending all your time learning how to hunt, fighting with your neighbours over territory, waging war over it likely, and dressing your kills to help feed your family.

Your wives would probably be busy trying to avoid being raped by your enemies while you’re out trying to bring home dinner and making clothes out of threads.

People think there would be starbuck’s to just walk into and start making coffees for people? Just some random dude who thinks ‘Hm, today I’m going to go and make coffees for people for a couple hours’ is this guy seriously okay?

Lemmy users do not understand why things are the way they are. They’re …. Childish. Child-like.

It’s almost like they imagine the government will be just like their parents and fund their lifestyle like they did when they were actually children.

Take them to swimming lessons, sign them up for art classes, dinner just magically appears on the dinner table everyday, they can spend all day just hanging out with friends and playing video games or whatever they want to do.

I think lemmy users, for the most part, are stuck having a crisis of changing from childhood to adult hood.

They’ll likely grow out of it, but boy is reading shit like this fucking embarrassing to adults

Here’s a hint, lemmy communists:

Without capitalism, you’ll do what the government decides you will do, for however long they decide you should do it for. If you’ve been farming wheat for 3 years and the government decides there’s too much wheat and not enough apples, you’ll be picking fucking apples for 16 hours a day, without sunscreen or water or breaks.

Or you’ll be shot and your family will be put in prison.

Why is there so much communist content on lemmy?

Gandalf’s boomstick

So you think it’s all or nothing for Ukraine?

If there isn’t going to be any peace discussions from Ukraine … how does this ever end?

Okay I’m gonna get absolutely blasted for this, but here it goes.

Water went out in the warehouse at 3:45am, the last workers on that shift went home at 5:00am it sounds like. And the next shift which was to start at 7am was called and told not to come in because there was a water issue.

They were called back into work when the issue was fixed.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with this at all according to the facts as stated in the article.

They were without water for about an hour before they were scheduled to go home. It would take about that long for management to even recognize the issue, contact the city and get a timeline for repair. In the meantime, just keep working until they figure out how long it’ll take to fix, and when it is clear that it’ll take awhile, call the next shift and tell them they will reopen when the water is fixed.

Sounds absolutely reasonable to me.

But I know everyone loves shitting on amazon, so this post is gonna get murdered

Right, but I’m assuming those hypothetical charges would have been laid as well if they were real?

Why would they not charge him with the worst of the crimes if that was the case?

I don’t think any of these things should be illegal

Begun the moderator PR campaign has

Batteries haven’t advance far enough to make this headline possible

This report would make the switch more powerful than a steamdeck. I’ll believe it when I see it

Ya and my mom bought her house for $45k in 1980

I’m looking at 4 bedrooms right now for about $1.2m

You know that gaming devices aren’t actually ethnic races, right?

Unfortunately, I think this argument will never die.

The sensitive radicals will keep demanding it, until they get what they want. They are tireless
