You should check out the song "Patches" If that's what you're interested in.

The original commenters point was to use this as an example for why Universal Basic Income is a good idea and my point is that without capitalism this doesn't work. You couldn't reproduce this to cover the cost of UBI for everyone. It only works because it lives off of a very profitable industry and services a small group of people.

Bitcoin dropped in value, but is still very high and actively traded. It's hardly in the dust bin.

A Baker should be able to refuse to bake a cake he doesn't want to make. He shouldn't even have to give a reason. Anything less than that is by definition forced labor.

I don't think it's a smart decision. I think discriminating for any reason makes business sense nor will it win you any allies, but it should be legal. Anything less than that is the government forcing you to work.

Teams would be very offended if it could afford the spare CPU cycles to read your post.

Agreed totally, precedence makes all the difference here. If there's two people had an established history of agreeing to deals via text with one word answers, it's hard to deny.

This sucks, but malicious compliance has also always been people's head cannon fantasies. There's zero chance that most of this situations went down as claimed. Bearing that in mind and with there being Jo karma to white on Lemmy, does it matter if they're reposts?

The only real reason for every car on the road not to go hybrid is cost and cost isn't a factor for Lamborghini. Hybrid drivetrains are the perfect answer to the Ice's gross inefficiencies when at idle or lower speeds.

The USPS would be profitable if they didn't have to beg Congress to raise the price of stamps and weren't forced to fund pension liabilities for people who won't retire for 30 years.

 

We've been exploring a thankless solution, but the company that quited us said it isn't a good idea in our area because the ground freezes in the winter. We don't live in a super cold area, but it does snow a few times a year and it can get into the single digits of degrees Fahrenheit.
