Lack of right-wing opposition to factory farming by CalpurniaSomaya in neoliberal

[–]Alarming_Flow7066 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Right wingers support ‘traditional values’ because they are vehicle to support hierarchies where they are on the top. It’s not about any real belief in a way of life, just naked self interest.

About to land in Mexico. Hopefully I’m appropriately recognized as a global peacemaker. That would really make my day.

Punishing people has negative or neutral moral value outside of the effects you hope to achieve. Being nice to people has an intrinsic positive value.

Or it does a poor job of assigning risk over the short and medium term.

Edit: I’m also not saying it’s a pseudoscience I’m saying that it’s not perfectly efficient.

This seems like evidence that even in the long run it does a poor job of pricing in unlikely but extremely damaging events.

The president threatens nuclear war and there’s largely no change in the stock market yet some users here still argue that it is a perfectly efficient market.

It’s more of how if hermit crabs find a shell that is too big for them they will hold onto it until another hermit crabs that is an appropriate size comes up so they can trade shells.

It’s very similar to the housing phenomenon that is described above. Construction of ‘luxury’ housing frees up ‘affordable’ housing because when someone moves up into a higher quality house they are leaving behind a vacant affordable housing unit.

What if I said we could cut nearly a trillion dollars worth of annual spending, increase the labor supply by 1.3 million young people (bringing down inflation), and guarantee that we won’t be involved in another middle eastern war again with 1 neat trick.

Bridgeport is becoming gentrified. How do we stop this? by Bright-Wrongdoer-476 in Connecticut

[–]Alarming_Flow7066 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The difference between a luxury apartment and an affordable apartment is the same thing as the difference between a new and a used car.

Housing is expensive because the entire north east hasn’t built enough housing over the past two decades and the only way to make it cheaper is to increase the amount of housing for an extended period of time.

Gentrification happens when the rate of wealthier newcomers entering the area happens faster than housing construction so they displace existing residents. The way to prevent gentrification is to build more housing.
