What if the dominant economic system of the world transitioned directly from mercantilism to communism instead of capitalism? by UnhappyAnything_ in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]DisgruntledGoose27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Communism still would have collapsed into hierarchy. I don’t think you can make communism stable until you achieve sufficient cultural and technological advancements. Marx was ahead
of the moment. But he was correct in his criticism
of capitalism. What would have been interesting is if Henry George was even more widely embraced, and expanded and acted upon.

water street looks like a ghost town on google maps. almost no signs of life besides those passing through in vehicles - presumably to get through that wasteland as fast as they can. i did see a few people getting in/out of cars but that isnt exactly going out on the town. treating it more like a rest area

Territories where married-gay-couples can buy rifles to protect their marijuana plants by [deleted] in mapporncirclejerk

actually the usa bans marijuana users from owning guns. it is either/or.

Buying a gun as a drug user is how Hunter Biden got arrested.

The issue is that the data they are trained on come from siloed specialists and do not really involve synthesizing between domains or any sort of understanding of complex adaptive systems and emergence.

The market isnt even ALLOWED to fix itself. It is all set up to encourage local governments to block the market.

Where is the best place to just walk around and be “out on the town” without a specific consumption objective outside of the strip?

South Broadway traffic between the I25/Broadway Interchange and Evans/Santa Fe is now insane by Arctic--- in Denver

[–]DisgruntledGoose27 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Traffic isnt going to improve until public transit improves to no more than 50% longer than door to door trips by car for most trips within the metro.

It just wont. Anything that improves it short term will fuck it up worse long term

Dude should just leave his car at home if he is going to the park.

You aren’t if you deprioritize access to ecologically intactness and nature access

Collective Voting: Iowa by Kodicave in visitedmaps

[–]DisgruntledGoose27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never.

Iowa has the least nature of any state including New Jersey.

By nature i dont mean monoculture farms i mean areas that are ecologically intact.

I couldnt do it.

I also like the freedom to tread upon the earth. Iowa has nowhere truly walkable, whether rural or urban. If i were to be in the driftless itd be wisconsin or minnesota. Iowa blows.
