  • I mean, in previous years we did pass some environmental laws (like banning internal combustion cars), not as much or as strict as I hoped, but change was there. Sure hope that doesn’t all get undone ‘to boost the economy’ (in the USA sense - so help the existing big corps to boost their profits & do nothing for the majority).

    Hell, I rally like the vast majority of EU regulations (various directives and delegated acts) that were passed & are being constantly updated (to keep up with the times/trends & tech) over the last 20 years, I think its a rally good balance between protecting the people whilst at the same time working with the market to actually achieve a meaningful & painless change over several years. That’s why we have representatives. The added “bureaucracy” as companies call it is just extra reporting & testing (to confirm compliance with standards). This benefits us all & is of unbelievably marginal cost when you look at the economy, regardless of what lobbyists say.

    Oh, forced to inherit your families debt is fucked up law anyways, middle-ages shit.

    In a more human (socialist) world aging population means more social transfers for healthcare (and/or providing minimal income/pensions), but also more people working in that sector (doctors, nurses, carers, etc). All of that is a challenge for millennials and gen-z to finance (or let them just die).

    And I don’t se capitalism solving that issue in a humane non-Soylent-Green manner.
