You’ve missed their point.

Neat ideas. #6 seems very feasible, as you can essentially make it an infrastructure tax. Government maintains the roads, public transit, sewer systems for massive buildings, high power lines for those buildings, etc., which all needs to be maintained. #2 would be very cool, I’ve wanted to start a company like that for a while, but there aren’t any corporate structures that the government even allows you to make that are regulated in that manner. It really sucks.

They’re implying that the list will be made up to fuck over democrats. Not that it will be a real list with Luigi supporters.

lol my wife literally was the project manager for a hydrogen site in Arizona. No clue where you got your information, but it’s just absolutely incorrect.

Hydrogen does not have to be a byproduct of petroleum production, you can drill just for hydrogen.

I mean.. there's nuance in everything. a recent road redesign in san francisco was disliked by shop owners, and is getting removed. But they still want the bike lanes, they just didn't like how the city implemented it, because it resulted in a bunch of other problems. So if DrunkEngineer doesn't have a source for "the people signing this petition are also opposed to road redesigns" I'm going to go ahead and assume it's made up and that, just like everything, there's nuance and making up people's positions is a good way to make your position weaker.

It is 100% capitalism’s fault. Those scientists are doing a job because we live in a society that necessitates having one to meet our basic needs.

absolutely not...

Your take is grade-school level simplistic that just assumes they simply have to be bad people instead of understanding the complexities of systemic forces that dictate our society.

no. My take is that if you remove capitalism, can the bad science still occur? Is it possible at all for it to occur? Yes. Since the scientists are the ones doing the science. It's not business doing the science, it's not capitalists doing the science. It's the scientists doing the science.

And they don't have to be bad people at all. They just have to not think about the consequences of their actions. Inattentive, ignorant, unable to think more than a few minutes into the future. None of these things make them bad people. But it does make them bad scientists. And it does make the science bad.

Please, for the love of God, learn to look beyond the surface of something and learn why things are the way they are instead of just assuming nonsense.

holy shit, you're the one not looking beyond the surface of something. Capitalism is always the boogie man for people like you. Like for fucks sake dude, scientists can be bad. Science can be bad! We literally have bad scientists in the white house right now claiming all sorts of shit that is going to get people killed! And it has nothing to do with capitalism. RFK Jr literally believes the bullshit he says, and it's because of bad science, not because he's being paid to say it.

Think about Jurassic Park like this: if those scientists were given those tools and told to build a park and told they weren't going to be paid for it, but all the tools they needed would be given to them, could the park be built? Now ask the exact same question but replace scientists with "capitalist": "if capitalists were given science tools and told to build a park and told they weren't going to be paid for it, but all the tools they needed would be given to them, could the park be built."

The answer is incredibly clear. Without the scientists, the park would never be built. It doesn't matter how much money exists on the planet. It doesn't matter if it's capitalism, communism, anarchism, whatever-fucking-system, the park isn't being built without the bad science. It doesn't matter how many other employees you put on that island, the park isn't getting built without the bad science.

point is that you don't have to see your head to know it's clean, you can feel it when you're washing. Are you looking at your butthole after you wipe? Are you wiping down your cheeks and ballsack and schlong too? You don't need to be able to see what you are cleaning to get it clean. And afterwards you still get a check with the toilet paper.

They have forced ads on your homescreen on the most expensive Roku you can buy. Completely bullshit. I immediately switched to Apple TV after buying the most expensive Roku and having that happen.
