No

I’ve kept inflation out to keep things simple. Yeah, the exact number will be different and depending on many factors, but the basic idea and the basic number are there.

For housing, I’d add one extra rule where for profit companies are not allowed to own houses for renting purposes.

If nobody can own more than a million, a couple with kids could own up to two million. Since people can’t afford to own multiple houses, and companies won’t be able to either, housing prices can go down to “what it cost to build plus a little extra” instead of “whatever some billionaire company can afford just to push the prices up”

I fully understand what a retirement cost NOW in the current system.

I’m basically saying “keep the system, cap wealth at 1 million” and with that, governments will have so much income that anyone can retire normally and have a normal pension.

You talking about retiring being expensive completely misses the point where it shouldn’t have any cost to begin with. Nobody should have to save up for retiring as a government can so that for everyone hands down if not all the wealth was locked away with a few extremely rich.

If nobody could own more than a million worth, and the rest going to taxes 100%, governments would have more than enough to feed, clothe house, etc. anyone in retirement

I said million, not billion

Nobody NEEDS a million (less even a billion). Normal houses don’t cost anywhere remotely need a million to build these days. Everyone can live a great life without ever being worth more than a million dollars

Either way, the million dollar is just an arbitrary point, it depends on where you live, etc, and more likely it should be a limit pushed by the average income, but I think it’s a good number to start with, a good number to promote

Why? It does what it needs to do without whining, so it does exactly what it needs to do. No renaming needed

And I’ve never asked it to do anything, I always tell it to do what it needs to do and it does it exactly as asked

Oh thank God, that is so much better and makes all the difference

But yeah, it makes little difference

This meme has more pixels than the image OP posted

Yikes, the guy looks like a drug junkie in his photos, I’m guessing he has bigger problems than alcoholism

Ding ding ding

Yay for clickbait bullshit articles

The US always invades and easily wins, it has done so since WWII

At also only really invaded small countries with small or badly trained and maintained armies

Iran has a considerable army and probably would be around the biggest for it ever fought against. Add to that that trump just had his Stalin army generals purge, so I’m wondering how combat ready it’s armed forces even are.

I’m not trying to underestimate the power of the US Military, I’m saying that the Cheetos is probably overestimating what it can do right now and that sounds like a great recipe for disaster

Ding ding ding

This is the right answer. Access to space should be government only as companies will guaranteed fuck it up

Well, Russia is close to collapse, yes. Not days, for sure, but close enough. Ignore the lost money for a second, Russia lost 1.2 million abled men, plus god only knows howany wounded on top of that ((typically at least the same number, or more. So let’s call that 2.5 million men that will no longer be contributing to the economy, and about a million that will now much leech your economy (blinded, lost limbs, etc) with medical needs.

Russia has, say, 150M people. Say, 60% is working age, so 90M people of working age. Russia lost some 2-3% of that. That is not a small “oopsie we’ll fix it in post later”, this is an “oopsie we’re fucked” level

And that is just the dead and wounded. Russia blew through its savings, it barely has a military left to protect itself from other big players like China. Literally it’s only defence, currently, are it’s nukes and with all the corruption there, it’s highly doubtful that those are still functional in amounts high enough to be a credible defense.

So no savings, a huge cut in its workforce, it made itself the pariah of the world…

Yeah, Russia is fine tomorrow.

But next year? 5 years from now?

Russia is fuuuuuucked

What is it with the US and so many people being perfectly okay with your woman being strangled by police just and only because she spoke out and protested?

If in Europe an not uniformed police officer were to pull this shit, strangling a young girl whilst not even being on duty, it would be his last day on the job and his first day in jail. In the US though, all the witnesses (all children) are abducted and threatened and somehow people support this?

And the community? This psychopath just strangled a young girl for not liking her opinion. He’s a police chief. Not a police officer, he is a police chief. If I were a police officer I would have arrested the fucker myself, because he’s a low life thug criminal.

But this is the USA, so they make psychopaths police chiefs because of course they do. Om just flabbergasted that any of this is even remotely possible, and then trump tells other countries that this, THIS, is what everyone wants?

Get fucked by an umbrella, pigs

Why isn’t this police chief being publicly hanged like they used to do before with black pe… Oh wait, the guy is white. Never mind then.

This is the USA, where guys can strangle girls with zero consequences for as long as they are white and carry a badge

Really? Who would have thought…

This. I don’t have proof, of course, but every action you see them take points to this.

How come some 25yo person is a director at Facebook?

I mean, even if she is a child prodigy genius, which she obviously is not as she is face first fist deep into AI, how the frack do you have even enough life experience to become a director of any large organization at that age unless you somehow cheated your way in?

Then reading the hat she’s doing and how she resolved it tells me she doesn’t know shit about computers, she just know how to type commands into AI systems

Is this the future? Am I going to end up being one of those long bearded magicians that still know the old technology, that still can still save the day by using shell commands?

And this wild conspiracy speculation is based on…?

To quote Wikipedia: <Citation required>

Yes, yes, om sure the CIA is fucking evil and they’ve overthrown many governments and commit sabotage on a regular basis

None of that means that the CIA had anything to do with this violence.

Having lived through multiple of these violent events in Mexico, this is not a revolution in progress. Mark my words, the worst is behind us, and within a few days this will be utterly go e.

I can tell you this has more to do with the Narcos being fucking violent organizations that are reacting with revenge for their leader.

Fuuuuuuck these clickbait headlines

Nothing got “slammed”, some random person on the internet hated the idea

I hate it too, I’m sure everyone hates it, but nothing got slammed, nobody shook the earth

Can we PLEASE stop it with the clickbait headlines? I’m about one more clickbait post away from just no longer reading the news as everything seems to be written by an AI pretending to be an edgy 15 year old.

Can you imagine an airbag ramming a cactus down your throat?
