Capitalism will seek profits over all else. If that requires implementing corporatism as a form of government it will endeavour to do so. That is the point of the whole god damn thing.

Capitalism is an extremely potent and powerful tool to create profits. Whatever else it does is incidental. If the food system can get away with creating a profit by making you eat sawdust then it will. All costs are externalised as much as possible and all profit is privatised as much as possible. This is not a bug but a feature.

As a 20 year IT veteran, first help desk, then sysadmin and now R&D, I am jealous. By the end of this year my cost of living will decrease significantly and I'm contemplating taking the financial hit for a career change.

No disagreement there, although I also think what people feel comfortable with is a malleable thing and by implementing policies that work for everyone as well as for Christians we could improve the world a little.

Or take a selfie, that'll generate a picture of an ape!

There IS a solution to this particular problem, namely don't use schools as a vector for spreading religion.

Ah yeah, pay money to pay money. That’s not a grift at all!

If it was enough for you to write down then it’s enough to work on not giving a fuck about

You’re right, that works sometimes, until manufacturers get wise and just charge the quality price for a piece of shit. For one-off, niche market things the majority of consumers has no way of knowing which one is a quality product that will do it’s job for a long time and will fail gracefully, and which one is a dangerous time bomb. By the time you find out the money has already paid for some executive’s third gold bath tub.

I used to work on these as a sailor. Most can be chartered for trips. Some sea going ones travel across the world to this day. If you want a fun week get some friends together and sail one some place!

The person on the left is carrying bags, the one in orange is a delivery driver and a couple of people are wearing backpacks. Aside from car brained, Damaris is also blind.
