honestly as somone who has autism, most people who diagnose themselves don't have it

I would agree with you, if it wasn't for the apple people trying to push everyone to join the cult because of the walled garden

just get the base version of bay12games, it will scale just fine!

oh yay, a techno dystopia, just wait for the repo men after you miss your heart payment

feudalism?

public spending has nothing to do with being able to use it, especially for free.

you're not getting free corn, nor free medicine, even tho both are heavily publically funded.

Fact is, the Manhattan metro area can't support the amount of people commuting via care as there were.

look at you lefty, calling everyone you don't like a Nazi again. don't you know this is why people become Nazis? just because he was filling the trains to the death camps doesn't make him a bad person, in fact he most likely grew up on a farm, so he's actually a working class hero.

idk it stopped a few of them from implementing some even worse shit for a few months

even worse, it's a joke, but it's true, the proof of concept is often also the final product

you realize that even the "cheap" Chinese cars from BYD and the like are still more than many people can pay for a car, there is no used EV market

I mean, that's assuming you can afford an electric car, being poor is expensive

but the BILD owned magazine so nicely spread the propaganda

Apparently, this is a country of hatred, selfishness, and stupidity.

describes my time in the south well

the American was not ready to hear what he heard

why would market electricity prices have any relation to what you pay on your power bill? turns out that companies will charge whatever they know they can, regardless of the cost of acquiring something to sell, should the cost of something be more than they know they can sell it for, they just won't sell it.

The idea that market prices influence what you pay for something is basically one of the main lies of supply side economics.

an easy election victory over a deeply unpopular racist, sexist, homophobic oligarchically unapologetic candidate.

hate to be the one to break it too you, but that candidate is far from deeply unpopular, it's just factually not true.

even less so,

"According to Young, though, the ultra-wealthy traditionally haven't migrated in droves following such tax hikes. Only %2.4 of U.S.-based millionaires move across state lines each year, roughly %15 of whom apparently do so for tax reasons. 'So it's like a small l fraction of a small fraction,' Young said.

Under current economic conditions, economic wealth is necessary for the functioning of the economy

is it required? to an extent, yes. but do we need 60% of everything to be owned by 10% of the population?

As for the Capital flight, that is a myth, even the implementation of straight wealth taxes don't see great multimillionaire migrations, because taxation isn't a very strong factor, in fact a golf course or tow is a stronger pull, example Scotland vs Ireland when the UK was still part of the EU saw more ultra wealthy live in Scotland, a region with a higher tax rate, than Ireland, primarily for golf courses.

ok, why should I care about the well off not getting to be quite the leaches they are now?
