Wasn’t it like… they lifted that many out of “extreme poverty” which they classify as anything less than $2.30/day?

I mean, cool, cool. But also, you’re not in poverty in China if you make $3/day, huh?

Standard autobot documentation. Nice, nice. What’s your TC?

It’s easy to get grumpy at mods, but lord knows I’m not gonna mod this cesspit, so… Idk… Sucks to be you.

Decommodifing housing is how you get your family forcefully relocated into a Khrushchevka. I’d be down for limiting ownership to like 2-3 properties, though.

Shocked that discord employed 1k people tbh.

I’m not ignoring it at all, I even highlighted it in another comment above.

It is hard to beat the current system that encourages people to work a single profession for ~30 years 5 days a week in order to foster expertise. And somehow, (rightly or not) manages to make most of them feel like they do it willingly.

I am highlighting the very much more clearly forced labor that arises in communist systems. The kind that people can’t gaslight themselves into thinking they do willingly. Which you seem to be ignoring as hard as you can. Stunning projection tbh.

Yes! Onward toward a USSR style system that somehow doesn’t involve forced labor, comrade!

The ideal world isn’t a realistic world unless you can solve for plumbing, etc. If the meme was tax the rich, I’d have upvoted and moved on. We should improve the world we have rather than strive for dreams.

Good question, we should probably tax the rich and make owning more than 3 homes illegal or something.

But if we’re canceling mortgages, then why not strive for the ideal world, ya know?

Plumbers make a lot of money for a reason, yes.

USSR style. We can all be our ideal selves. We can finally be writers and artists living in our own large single family homes who teach children on the side, but only when we feel up to it.

And no one has to be the guy who works on the sewers or anything unpleasant like that. Plus, maybe someone wants to do that work, idk. And if not, uh… robots can do it. Who builds, programs, hauls around, and uses the robots whose sole job is to unclog sewers? Uh, nerds, I guess. Or… other robots, maybe, idk.

There will be no need for forced labor at all under this new system.

Never play Star Citizen, even if it somehow becomes playable. Got it.

I dont understand the outrage. It’s slightly different, oh no. Back in my day, we used a shitty bright white Windows 95 style UI voice chat program called Ventrilo, and WE LIKED IT.

I’d my work removed slack I am legitimately unsure how I’d communicate with my team at all. During meetings only, in tickets and in github reviews. Nice and clinical. Nah, I’ll keep slack ty

I’d suggest the govt make am official channel to release factual information but yeah, they apparently can’t be trusted all the time either so…
