Yeah but he was being pedantic over the word “impossibly”. If we can make 1 atom thin sheets, then it’s not impossible, right?

On the surface it is true, but in reality all of those things came at the expense of people’s liberty and the people themselves - they jailed or killed anyone that didn’t agree with or was seen as an enemy of the state, resources were actually incredibly scarce and there was a lot of famine (just in the less important parts of the empire), nobody trusted anyone and people kept stealing things for themselves anyway. Oh also child labor and many many more things like that.

Like I understand the good part of communism, but oh God is the USSR the worst possible example of that, they didn’t even have real communism anyway.

Yeah, there are clueless people everywhere, but I’m still glad that it’s easy to get generic medicine.

To be fair, you cannot force people to buy generic, let people make their own, though preferably informed, decisions.

Tylenol isn’t the medicine, paracetamol is. I love having grown up in a European country which mandates pharmacies to very clearly inform you, not just in some fuck ass place, but repeat to you 3 times, that there is a cheaper generic version which does the same thing.

This is very clearly anti competitive behavior and should be dealt with ASAP.

This feels like kindergarten, but with billions of dollars. Gotta love capitalism

Wow, that must mean that we’re in captivity! /s

Even if animals in captivity did live longer (which @[email protected] contradicts), wouldn’t it make more sense to think it’s because of better treatment and healthcare?

You’re supposed to just blindly hate the corporations, no matter the intentions or actions!!1

Actually, where I live there is (or at least was) a business that allowed you to buy something akin to “gasoline futures”, basically you could just buy X liters of gas or diesel and then use them up overtime using a client card or something like that. Not too sure how it worked, forgot the name too.
