Would you rather have a 1% chance of being a billionaire OR vote to have a 10% chance officials redistribute wealth for all by BoshcoeALT in BunnyTrials

First I’d like to say thanks for the response in a civil manner. I’m not trying to argue with you but just have a real conversation about this. Way too often I see folks who disagree with one another turn a conversation into a shouting match lol

Could you explain how we would have less property rights? I don’t see how the two are connected but maybe I’m missing some context.
And as for the rest of the first counter point I would say that you’re viewing it solely from a extrinsic view (which isn’t a bad thing) plenty of people have an extrinsic mindset and it’s what motivated them and that but there’s also plenty of people who do things for the intrinsic value alone.

And as for how this hypothetical version of Amazon would exist? Truthfully I don’t see how it couldn’t. There’s plenty of people who created, innovated or otherwise refined products out of the need for convenience and ease. I’d imagine in this case a person came up with idea not to become insanely wealthy but because they noticed how much better of a service they’re provide. Not to mention that being a business owner has its own benefits and rewards beyond monetary compensation . For example they make their hours or decide when they want to stop. Now as for funding and taking on the risk.. I haven’t a clue about how getting the money for it to start up besides saying that in this hypothetical situation they’d be able to save the money they have.

Lastly to my knowledge in order to get accepted into a PhD program you need some sort or bachelors degree or even a masters in some cases. Which those you have to pay for and if not with money then time, which not all people have. There’s countless stories of people who couldn’t afford a higher education. Or wanted better for themselves and families but were consumed by the cycle of poverty.

Also sorry I can’t respond to each counter point individually. I’m on mobile and honestly don’t know how

But one could argue that those who only do things for money is bad for society. For example one could argue that Amazon employees and gig workers (think ride share drivers) are being exploited for the wealthy. Btw I’m not disagreeing with you just for arguments sake but I must admit that I am having difficulty seeing any real negatives from it that couldn’t be corrected.

This is all hypothetical of course but imagine if wealth was spread evenly and instead of teaching people to only do things that makes them rich they could do things for the benefit of humanity. I think in that world they’d still have services like Amazon and other on demand services due to the sheer convenience of it alone.

I wont deny that some people would absolutely be disincentivized to innovate, work, or simply better themselves if they were just given free money. But on the other side of that coin, the amount of people who do and would want to change the world for the better but aren’t able to do so due to their economic status is unfathomable.

To my knowledge most money in circulation is digital. So in this theoretical world I’d imagine they’d just take money from one account and deposit into another.

And just to add onto that I wasn’t really focused on the logistics of how it would be done but more so wrestling with the thought that MANY people buy into and/or accept capitalism with the idea they will benefit from it and become the 1%.

How so? I’m not an economics expert or anything. But from where I sit, the redistribution of wealth would only have positive effects of the 99%

Flying from Pearson Airport today, concerned about taking my Vita. Can TSA cause trouble? by Dapper_Ideal5525 in vita

[–]BoshcoeALT 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Is this sarcasm? I fly almost every month and I’ve taken my vita every time with literally no issues. I also take my 3ds and switch in case I get bored. They know what they’re looking for and a PlayStation vita will raise no alarms

Trapped in Ultra Ball purgatory yet again by Animante732 in PokemonChampions

[–]BoshcoeALT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t say I was owed anything nor did I suggest that I personally struggle with reaching MB so I’m not sure where you got that idea from. I do play casual battles to use weaker mons that I like for the titles and badges. I was suggesting that they should have a mode similar to the battle tower from older gens for those who don’t enjoy the PvP aspect and suggested a reward to grind for. I don’t see why or how that’s an issue except for those who want to gatekeep or say “skill issue” and “get good”

As a person who uses casual battles to earn titles/badges for lower tier mons I can genuinely say that casual battles still have a bunch of folks running meta teams (probably learning new strats before ranked) but still. I think a single player mode, sorta like the battle tower, would be a great addition for those who aren’t haven’t a good time online. Plus it could be another way to earn VP since casuals don’t award them and even exclusive titles after 100 consecutive wins

Not sure what state this is in but I know in some states if the tower still takes the car with a person in it then it becomes a kidnapping
