    The Morality of Capitalism

    Unironically I want less stuff and people to work less.

    The Problem With Socialism

    But if you run out of money just print more money! ;)

    Wages and Poverty

    Indeed. However when treated as investment it is a loss until it is not. If I buy a thousand dollars of stock I have lost a thousand dollars. However there is the hope that in some years in the future I get a return. If I buy a 300k house and wait 5 years to sell it for 400k I have made a...

    We need to have an honest discussion about race in America

    I don't care about your feelings. I care a lot about statistics and things that are relevant to society as a whole. It being looked down upon for white people to use the N word isn't as much of an issue as black communities having a fraction of the average family wealth of white families. Then...

    Wages and Poverty

    A small part indeed. But there is the problem that housing is treated like stock for investment. Then on top of that we are building like crazy but none of it is affordable housing. Most houses are 2-3-400k on average that don't sell or are bought by corporations. So now we are stuck with a...

    Wages and Poverty

    Actually during that time the vast difference between the rich and poor escalated. Though that was also a drastic event. Though every time in our history the larger percentage of wealth held by the top percentage has always meant the middle and lower classes suffered. Drip unneeded if the top...

    We need to have an honest discussion about race in America

    Sure. When that becomes statistically important we can address it. However in more or less every single measurable way there is a bias for white people in most western countries. Sure maybe the black guy has some kind of benefit for being black. However statistically they are doing worse because...

    Teacher's Unions

    The methods were more effective than the alternative. I disagree that it is done for a selfish reason but rather they saw the two options of "ah lets just super spread during a pandemic that may kill several people vs having to do the next best thing of online learning." I can't believe we...

    That is possibly the most false thing I've ever read. Care to elaborate?

    The Perpetrated Lie of Today's Separation of Church and State

    Sweet. I have freedom from religion. Good talk.

    Wages and Poverty

    Here is a factcheck. Technically if you'd like it says the original claim was false but the underlying fact is true. FACT CHECK: Are There More Than 633,000 Homeless People And 13.9 Million Vacant Homes In The US? Perhaps a fair criticism of my statement. However in defense of it prior to...

    Wages and Poverty

    That we have more empty homes than we have homeless people. It seems a failure in design. Are you not aware of tenant farming?

    Harris On The Supreme Court? Bad Idea!

    Teacher's Unions

    You think that teaching effectively isn't the priority of teachers? Have you ever met teachers?

    Harris On The Supreme Court? Bad Idea!

    I mean I agree that she doesn't deserve that position. Technically I don't believe she deserves her current position.

    Wages and Poverty

    What is your current opinion of there being more homes than homeless? The concept of renting as we know it only began in the 1920's. Prior to that to be a tenant was almost lateral to a slave. It was also when we began to commodify housing for the middle class.

    Harris On The Supreme Court? Bad Idea!

    It feels like an out. Biden isn't going to run in 2024 allegedly and will retire. Harris doesn't really have a good chance of running and may be trying to get what she can get. Then we get to see another fiasco like in 2020. Which will be entertaining as always until somehow the worst most milk...

    Wages and Poverty

    I would argue the landlord position is not required and the history is rooted in aristocratic European society. We didn't have a problem with housing before the housing market. It is currently the way that need is filled (albeit poorly) but it is not the way it has always been done and...

    Wages and Poverty

    Mostly because that increases inequality rather than creates equality. And equality is needed for personal freedoms.

    The Perpetrated Lie of Today's Separation of Church and State

    How can one have freedom of religion without the freedom to reject a religion? Am I allowed to say I believe in the nothing god? His special power is not existing. The commandments were "do what you want"?
