Let’s see, just to name a few: openly against civil gun ownership, openly against expensive private healthcare, openly against zionism and Israel’s occupation of Gaza. This pisses off a lot of very powerful people, so probably not gonna happen

you sound like a person out of arguments, good bye.

wait really? I would imagine those small corners would easily get flattened compared to something with deeper ridges like philips

Cars and phones? %90 percent of people already has one of those. Better income will mean people only moving to better quality ones and the production shifting in that direction rather than accommodating a large economic range as it is now. Homes? There are probably enough homes for everyone, maybe even excess. It is just that richer people own more and rent them out. So no net change in required number of constructions. Clothing? You must be kidding, it is produced in so much excess that it can probably support double the existing population. And again if people get better pay, they will mostly move towards higher quality and not necessarily more of the same quality. Same thing with food, you said it yourself. Production of crap stuff will just be shifted towards production of better quality stuff that people can afford.

It is only people who are at the very bottom like homeless or extremely poor whose consumption will substantially increase with a better economic situation but there can be enough room for accommodating that with better optimized processes and more automation. So much of the stuff you have counted is produced in excess and goes to waste that I am sure even that would be enough to meet increased demand if regulated properly.

some may fall into rampant consumerism even more, but some (hopefully many) will come out of it because they have money and time for decent hobbies actually. so instead of buying tons of easily consumable crap stuff of every kind to pass whatever little time they have, instead they will focus on buying less but more decent of the stuff they are really interested in.

For once companies could downsize not because they want to fire people but because there is an excess of jobs. There are many many businesses that produce in excess (take the clothing sector for instance) or others that have already hired beyond sustainability (software and tech). Many governments also have programs to hire in excess for non-required roles to reduce unemployment. There is so much room for optimization but realistically with other effects like average number of kids per family decreasing some degree of automatization beyond what we have now and some change in people’s lifestyles will be required too.

the worst is not when the screwdriver is fucked but the screw is. That is some huge pain in the ass

no but people may work in shifts still getting the same total man hours in a company.

well if you got more money per hours of work or things were cheaper, you would probably work less

pictures you can hear

wait till this comes with a monthly subscription

this was one long article but did read it. I have to confess my mental model was mainly a continued neglect and “the kid will be fine in the car alone for five minutes” and then forgetting the kid kind of situations. But a memory lapse without intentional leaving is apparently quite possible.

“I was that guy, before. I’d read the stories, and I’d go, ‘What were those parents thinking?’ “

Yea I am this guy, luckily I am not planning to make kids so I hopefully will never have to find myself in his shoes (and can keep making blatant generalizations :p)

definitely not a very good article opener then

I remember being shocked when I saw for the first time a default subscription method was “recurring unless cancelled”. It seemed mad at the time lol…

it is not a free trial if you dont risk getting billed for the first month

seems like the kind of refrigerator you would run into in fallout

How dare you promote love during a race you shameless piece of shit. The bicycling community will not recover from this for decades.

disrupter in the sense of public wanking

I need diz for reasons
