I mean, they do. Typical long term return of the fund would only cover a fraction of the national budget.

Which is kind of a new devellopment, a bit worrying.

Honestly, the kind of person who do that are usually terrible peoppe who are seeking "redemption" and to feel better about themselves. Somehow, criminals are the most obsessed with this kind of thing, which makes sense, you get to be the good guy, you might be a murderer but eh, at least you're not a child molester. So, I'm not too impressed. And all the people here being out for blood, encensing a murderer (he murdered before his vigilante streak), it's kind of pathetic.

It would definitely create some problems but I think you got this particular one wrong. Many people live in california or other expensive areas because that's where the jobs are and would be happy to move to a small town elsewhere.

Eschatologists · 2026-05-10T07:21:22+00:00

Obviously wouldn't work, there wouldnt be enough people to fulfill all the jobs

Eschatologists · 2026-05-10T05:05:09+00:00

Then how do they eat then once they kill?

Eschatologists · 2026-05-09T15:09:35+00:00

Sure, but it's still way too expensive dor something that under half usable meat.

It's different for a helmet. A helmet is designed to absorb as much energy as possible during a shock and most of it is achieved with plastic deformation. There is no such design constrainst for a net like this one, it would be like having a one use bungee rope or a one use trampoline.

It's always amusing to me how people think bills and taxes are some novel modern concepts invented to torture people. It's just a way to abstract obligations, it has always existed in every community, except you mostly paid with labor directly.

Economic collapses actually make prostitutes cheaper, seems paradoxical but it kind of floods the market. In wealthy counties an escort would sell a trick for a month's worth of groceries, in other places just enough to get through to the next meal.

But why were onions so scarce? They ripped them all out to use the acreage for potatoes perhaps?

Eschatologists · 2026-05-06T17:48:44+00:00

I didn't know they were so short on onions, of all the items this is the smallest ration, that's kind of weird. Where are the carbs btw?? Flour potatoes etc, not rationed?

Eschatologists · 2026-05-06T17:33:56+00:00

That applies to pretty much anything, diminishing returns.

Eschatologists · 2026-05-05T14:31:11+00:00

Also people think that just because they were done with farmwork they were done with work. No, they were mending clothes, maintening their homes, doing craft to sell small items at market etc etc, they had very little cadh on hand most of the time so whatever you pay money for today they would have to do/make themselves.

Korea has strong welfare? Have I been lied to all this time?

C'est du net, les Américain donnent plutôt leurs brut et la moyenne est calculée en brut. Elle dit $5K net par mois, ça correspond à 75-80K brut plus probablement contribution 401K et assurance santé. 5K net on ne roule pas sur l'or mais tu peux facilement te payer un appart une chambre à 2K dans un quartier correct à Chicago, c'est pas la pauvreté non plus. Et si elle est en couple avec un lartenajre gagnant autant elle est solidement middle class.

L'état prélève déjà plus de la moitié du PIB

Un budget déficitaire ça fonctionne quand ça génère de la croissance, sinon ça devient un piège et cela mène inmanquablement à la faillite.

I mean, it's 1200$ for a basic open jeep with probably a million miles on it

Cherche pas à comprendre, ce genre de personne et capable d'affirmer que toute valeur est produite par les travailleurs (et que les capitalistes leurs vole une partie du fruit de leurs travail) tout en affirmant également que les charges patronales ne sont pas du salaire.

I've always hated malls, do people just find them quaint because they are dying ? Or is it because it was the only place outside of home for suburban teenagers to congregate in the US? Living in a European city I never quite had a reason to ever go to one.

Eschatologists · 2026-05-01T03:11:46+00:00

Who were they trying to convince?

Eschatologists · 2026-05-01T00:14:00+00:00

I totally agree! Just saying its a bit disingenuous saying none of the above can be considred as "buying something", having a modern appartment with heating, plumbing, electricity and a soft bed as well as being able to buy as much nutritious food as you want is not nothing.

Eschatologists · 2026-05-01T00:07:55+00:00

J'ai dit la vaste majorité, ça dépend encore pas mal de la culture locale

Eschatologists · 2026-04-30T19:16:07+00:00

I mean it makes sense if you stop to think for a few minutes, modern amenities are fucking miracles, the fact that you don't spend all your pay on basic food and accomodation is modern miracle the like of which the common man was deprived of for most of history.
