Yet another reason religion is a scourge.

It doesn’t, though

Sure it does. I already explained how.

It doesn’t. Someone with a “left” view and a “right” view can cancel each other out,

Only if the person with a left view also has a right view. And only if the other person with the right view has a left view.

You seem confused. The point of it isn’t to give a fully accurate explanation of a person’s views on every topic. It’s to give somebody a general idea.

Plus, someone can say they are for something, but actually not support it in reality.

All political measurements fall victim to that. It’s a moot point. But just because some people are like that doesn’t mean everyone is.

Two people with wildly different views can occupy the same space

Not completely. If two people occupy a similar space, it means they agreed on something. That is meaningful. It’s vague, sure. But it isn’t completely random nonsense like astrology.

I just gave an example of how it is meaningful.

It’s definitely a terrible system, and there are better ones out there like 10Groups. But astrology is completely meaningless. The PCT at least tells you a vague (terrible, yes), but somewhat meaningful direction in which you believe.

For example, I know that since I’m libertarian left on the PCT, that I’m going to disagree with 90% of the things somebody who’s authoritarian right on the PCT believes.

Astrology doesn’t have that ability to reliably compare, since it is literally and completely meaningless.

But again, shit like 10Groups is better and everybody should switch to measures that have more than 2 axis.

This is exactly the thing I’ve been looking for. It saves everything as a sqlite db, and has csv export options. So you’re not fucked over if you need to switch to something else. It’s compatible for linux/windows.

And the import options seem pretty good too.

Congrats, you’ve made me spend the whole day switching everything over to that lol.

The only real issue is that one of my banks deals with more than one type of currency. So I’ve had to write a custom script to handle that. But all in all, this is a massive upgrade for me. Thank you for this recommendation.

Nobody said anything about that.

Don’t throw around insults if you don’t want to be insulted.

Sure, but would it be possible to artificially simulate a daylight cycle indoors, opposite of the outside one?

Sure, you wouldn’t be able to go outside very much, but you’d at least have your active hours in the coolest part of the day.

Add in a bit of of CRISPR to smooth out the rough edges, would it be enough then?

You don’t seem to understand that the overwhelming majority of businesses are sole proprietorships.

You don’t seem to understand that the second most common type of business is a simple partnership.

No, you’ve misunderstood. I’m aware of how prevalent those kinds of businesses are, but the goal of this conversation isn’t to provide a full legalese explanation or complete set of policy. The purpose is to talk about and have a sense of what the fuck we should be doing. Of course there is going to need to be a different set of rules for businesses with few employees, I never said otherwise. Of course there is going to need to be exceptions, I never said otherwise.

But you’ve jumped to conclusions instead of asking and having an actual conversation about what this would look like.

Worse, I’d argue that sole partnerships, simple partnership, etc already are employee owned. So even if I was saying that the previous stated limits should be applied with no exceptions or other considerations, it largely wouldn’t have anything to do with those kinds of businesses.

What is your “preferred solution”?

A moratorium on IPOs, and purchasing of businesses in any form. Then, all the monopolies like Google, apple, meta, etc need to be broken up. And then, these companies need to be switched to being employee owned where possible.

Slowly over time all businesses will die off, but the ones controlled with stocks will never be replaced. After a few decades of this, the only businesses that will be left will be ones not controlled through stocks or personal ownership.

The economy needs to serve the needs of the people, not the rich.

The idea that businesses shouldn’t be bought or sold is not a solution at all.

Sure it is. The current system has led to a shell game designed to steal the worker’s wealth and funnel it to the rich. It’s led to extreme wealth inequality. It’s led to situations in which it is extremely difficult to tax the rich. It’s led to politicians who personally enrich themselves because they constantly have insider knowledge. It’s led to business that hoard extreme profits, just to hand them over to the already rich shareholders.

We don’t need businesses to be able to be bought and sold. However we do need strength to be given to labor.

Someone wants to buy it from you

There’s your problem. Business shouldn’t be bought and sold either.

What we can do is apply an annual wealth tax of 1% of all registered securities, (stocks, bonds, etc) and exempt the first $10 million of each natural person.

That’s not my preferred solution, but I’d take it over nothing.

Can’t have unrealized gains in a system that doesn’t have stocks. Abolish the stock market.

Nah, I just have more sense than you.

Nah, I just have more sense than you.

So you made it the fuck up

Nah, I just have more sense than you.

Stay mad, the world sees through your genocidal rhetoric.

Source?

The source is half a second of thought, which is evidently more than you’ve given it. Detonating explosives in a heavily populated area will cause more injuries to civilians than anybody else.

You’re quoting an israeli news site. You could at least pretend you’re not just basing everything off of propaganda.

Idk for me injuring or killing thousands of hezbollah

You’re still not getting it. The majority of injuries aren’t hezbollah.
