  • The US economy is doing well. President Biden wants to know why so many Americans are still feeling bad

    Jump

  • I don’t think that’s a starter.

    I wasn't being literal. There are a million things that need fixed, a few of them you've listed and I 100% agree with. The one I named was just one of them.

  • IIRC about 2/3rds of americans are living paycheck to paycheck. That is not an economy that is working for the people.

    We need dramatic overhauls that Biden, and especially Trump will never deliver. We need employee ownership of companies for starters.

  • nobody should use chatgpt to generate long rambly paragraphs complaining about nothing in particular with no point or ending or punctuation coupled with maildrop.cc as a temporary email

  • That, and a land tax

  • I don't think there are enough such edge cases for it to make sense for it to be legal.

    If a corp needs an employee to be that close, then they should hire local, and/or rotate staff.

    At a bare minimum, I agree, no corp should profit off of housing.

  • That's how a lot of co-ops works. Or maybe it's called non-market rental. I don't remember the exact name but it's definitely a thing.

    Either way, landlord parasites are not needed.

  • restricting corporations from purchases, banning Airbnb (yes, they drive prices up, and if you use them, you are contributing to it), penalizing if unit is not occupied (though enforcement of this will be hard), or banning foreign investors.

    Agreed, we should be doing all of those things. Corporations should not be able to own any kind of housing at all, and multi unit buildings should be under non-profit co-ops.

    And to penalize unoccupied housing, we should have a georgist taxation system.

  • Thank the gods we live in such a car-saturated nation, how horrible it would be if this space was used to house people

  • Legalize mad max cars! This murica, any car without a machine gun installed on the hood is for sissy liberals.

    Real men run others off the road with their 80,000lbs Ford, with it's hood 6ft up from the road.

  • Because enshitifying their service would earn them short term profits, which is the only thing corps/shareholders care about.

  • Instead of hotdogs, get something that actually has taste. Either bratwurst or hot Italian sausage.

  • Nebraska governor again rejects giving kids from low-income families $40 per month for food: 'I don't believe in welfare'

    Jump

  • It's worse than that.

    It's $40/month, and only for the 3 months of summer to make up for impoverished children not getting meals through school during the summer.

    These people are ghouls.

  • On the other hand, EVs typically have regenerative breaking, reducing the wear on brake pads.

    Still shit, but partially canceled out.

  • The air is plenty clean as it is

    Tell that to the people in East Palestine Ohio. Tell that to the people that live near coal plants.

    as long as you don’t live in California

    Doesn't matter where you live if the planet is uninhabitable.

  • Wanting to breath clean air on a habitable planet isn't insanity.

  • Pizza Hut franchises in California lay off all delivery drivers ahead of $20 minimum wage increase

    Jump

  • The franchise owners are still extracting wealth from the restaurant owners. That 1.2 billion came from somewhere, it didn't just poof into existence. That's 1.2 billion that should have gone to the workers instead of the rich shareholders who own the company. As a whole, as an entire organization they are greedy fucks and it shows.

  • It'll look like what we already have. Swaths of users self hosting, with lots of redundancy to deal woth instances that have problems.

    And that might mean it needs to stay small, but that's OK. Not all success is measured in popularity.
