would still get restricted because they’re contentious. Like if you start talking about how you believe in equal rights, that’s something most people agree with (at least in principle,) and it shouldn’t be political. But it’s going to ruffle some feathers anyways (especially if you get any more specific than that,) so it’d be restricted.

If this is the best example you can come up with, it is fairly unconvincing that any mainstream political will be restricted.

GDP per capita is the only metric that matters. There’s absoutely no problem with it whatsoever.

This is the best America has ever been.

My standards are getting lower every year.

I’ll settle for regular rail and decriminalizing homelessness at this point.

Very good passage and it’s relevant in the modern world again. Arguably even more so than it was during Marx’s time in some respects.

Essentially the goal is this: to use a giant electromagnetic launch track to accelerate a hypersonic aircraft to Mach 1.6. The aircraft would then separate from the track, ignite its engine and enter near space at seven times the speed of sound.

Does no one read the article anymore before commenting? I’m not responding to all the comments here since it’s clearly a waste of my time, but every single one of the concerns that people mention in this thread so far has been acknowledged in the article already.

Works for me

I hate the discourse around new jobs to make the economy seem better.

Unless it’s a full-time job with full benefits, a pension, and a living wage to support a family, it’s a temporary gig that people are coerced into, not a real job.

At the time of his death, Mr Barnett had been in Charleston for legal interviews linked to that case.

Last week, he gave a formal deposition in which he was questioned by Boeing’s lawyers, before being cross-examined by his own counsel.

He had been due to undergo further questioning on Saturday. When he did not appear, enquiries were made at his hotel.

He was subsequently found dead in his truck in the hotel car park.

Smart timing. Leave instead of facing the incoming blowback for her part in Euromaidan now that the Ukrainian project has become a total failure.

To add onto the comment, having the revenue cover the operating costs is super important as the company will go down under if it isn’t true even in the short-term. It matters less when it’s the semiconductor industry as the state can cover short-term losses, but it’s important for other companies until we move away from money entirely.

Noooooo but quantum mechanics affecting brainero means we are freeeeeee

A straight up vertical integration of banking entities on an all-stock deal. Consumers will surely benefit from it.

It breaks down more so you have to buy more. Simple capitalist efficiency.

Andrew “Gut Social Services” Yang was the only one who was talking about the social crisis in this nation last election cycle and nobody’s even talking about it now.

Alienation of people from their social environment is so harsh that family relations look more like interaction between acquaintances, especially among white Americans. This isn’t sustainable long-term.

If anyone’s interested, the 2nd most unequal society in the developed world is Israel.

In my early 30s. I think your age is the cutoff for when the circuses were good and original.

For younger Gen Zs and Alphas, it’s nothing but remakes of what we got when we were kids. Pokemon, Harry Potter, and Minecraft are what my nieces and nephews are still into because companies barely invest in new IPs anymore. Even the snack isle look the same as it did 15 years ago, with food companies not investing in new products since the corporations consolidated and there’s no competition anymore.

It’s not that I don’t like the new thing now that I’m older, it truly feels like there’s less new things since late stage captured markets deemed it inefficient.

Quite possible. Maybe I am the old out of touch person who’s yelling at everything without reason sometimes. Now that you mention it, I’ll admit that the camerawork was decent at least.

I don’t know if anyone saw the Superbowl but it was pathetic. Not the game itself but the production value behind it considering that it is the biggest event of the year for America.

The halftime show was cheaply done, commercials looked cheap, the Apple music logo that was repeatedly shown looked like it was thrown together by an intern in about two hours.

It was the same for other “big productions” from the imperial core in the past year such as Kohaku for example. I’m predicting that 2024 Eurovision will look like crap too. We’re already not getting bread but the circuses also look terrible.
