Yup. If we're talking regulations then regulations on how much corporations can donate to politicians should be top of the list (and ideally that amount should be zero), but obviously both the politicians and the corporations like that donations are totally allowed, making it difficult to pass such things...
Regulations are indeed an important part of managing our system as it is, but they're fundamentally a bandaid to the problems of capitalism.
You gotta catch the corporations doing a bad thing and then tell them not to do it, meanwhile they're buying politicians to fight against you on it. And it still doesn't stop them from committing actions that are horribly unethical and extremely damaging to our society and to the environment, they just tone it down a bit at best, or occasionally they'll have to put a small fraction of their money into a lawsuit without actually changing their behavior.
But the system also makes it so that when people act purely selfishly for money, that it results in good outcomes for everyone.
Why do you think this??
Look at all the constant environmental disasters and harmful products that happen because corporations did the math and determined that paying a few million to lawsuits every once in a while is cheaper than being more careful. "Voting with your wallet" does not work because the big corporations undercut the competition and bombard us with advertising to ensure they will win no matter what.
Hell, most of us are on here because Reddit started doing scummy things in the name of money, and we're a tiny fraction of their userbase; Reddit is still unfortunately doing pretty much fine. Is that the best outcome for everyone?
I look forward to talking about my first few weeks on Lemmy in years to come: "Back then I had to use an app that was in alpha and wait ten minutes to load a page full of bean memes! And then we got hacked!"
I promise you that anything that says Tyrannosaurus was a direct ancestor of or the closest relative to chickens is misunderstanding the science, probably for clickbait because T. rex is a well known and eye-catching dinosaur name to put in the title, or just quoting one of the other incorrect articles about it. Birds evolved in the Jurassic about a hundred million years before T. rex, so T. rex definitely couldn't have evolved into them. It was wiped out by the asteroid before it could evolve into anything else.
I don't mean to ruin the joke here, but I hate to see misinformation go uncorrected.
Posted my thoughts on !bleach@lemmy.world. The new opening is great! I noticed there's some anime-only stuff here, which is very exciting since I hope they go somewhere with it!
Absolutely fantastic movie. I was shocked to see "to be continued" since I wasn't even a little tired of watching it, even after, what, more than two hours? I woulda watched it for five more, happily.
The slaves don't own capital because they are the capital!
Nowhere in the definition of capitalism does it require that everyone owns capital; in fact it's much more the opposite.
