You could use the same for majong or pachinko like games like Peggle. The issue is the actual gambling, not just the game elements or risk, reward, and points going up. Loot boxes are 10× worse.
All businesses should be worker or consumer cooperatives. Capital shouldn't be divorced from stakeholders like in our current capitalist system, but rather socially owned by the direct stakeholders like in Mutualism.
Not all at all. Lots of utilities are Consumer Cooperatives.
Lots of people working at those cooperatives don't even know that consumer and worker cooperatives are market socialist and tend to be conservative which annoys the heck out of me.
This! That stupid map that just shows the US and Burma always annoys me. The US customary system includes Metric units. Canada and England still use Imperial/Customary. And "Metric" Is actually like 5 different systems with similar features like ANSI/ISO, KMS/CGS, and the three different pressure measurements.
Natural units >>> Metric
I want an alternative to Metric that uses base 12 units instead.
Honestly wish we could've had Pete Buttigieg running still. Already voted for Kamala in a red state, but honestly hope she stops cozing up to the Cheneys and Israel. We need to focus on infrastructure, housing, and healthcare more than any other issue as they are the basic necessities everyone needs!
This is actually the reason why taxes don't increase luxury item costs as the cost is set to the market demand rather than from supply. In fact, the benefits from taxes help people afford more products in a virtuous cycle. It's also the reason tariffs or taxes on raw goods are so bad as you actually are creating dead weight loss and driving down demand which can be useful or detrimental depending on why someone needs that product.
I'd argue that haptic gloves, valve index controllers, and hand tracking are there, but the hardware for VR isn't quite cheap enough for it to be mainstream.
Or, you know, don't have capitalist owners and instead have Mutualist worker owners.
