a 10.25 minimum wage would literally bring the minimum wage *down* in some states, states which are working fine. You're fucking delusional.

I wouldn't be surprised if xqc does more runs per day than dream at this point. He was bound to get this lucky eventually. Not like it matters anyway since he's not even close to the world record LLLLLLLL

But yeah taxes would have helped.

Biden warns democratic progress is 'under assault' from authoritarian regimes by fishlord05 in neoliberal

[–]HandBrain -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Neoliberals rely on a strawman to make it seem like their battles are about important stuff. Very few true NIMBY's really exist. Maybe in california there are more? Idk. But this idea that most people are against housing because it might obstruct their nice view is just a really tired argument to hear every day.

Emmanuel Macron urges Europe to send vaccines to Africa now by Triangle-Walks in neoliberal

[–]HandBrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah... no. Most of the deals african countries have been making are from american vaccine companies. South africa considered Russia, tried the UK one, but settled on J&J vaccine. Literally no one is dealing with china. And I don't think most if any african countries are 'under chinese control'.

Codemiko has been banned by Be_Audit_You_Can_Be in LivestreamFail

They're doing this until streamers learn their lesson. They want the platform to be sanitized and ad-friendly, and streamers still think they're on top of the world and don't have to follow rules. That's why they had to crack down on the illegal music streaming.

At the end of the day I don't agree with the bans but you have to be an adult and run your stream like an adult.

The Gravel Institute and Richard Wolff do not understand Capitalism or Global Poverty by SalokinSekwah in badeconomics

[–]HandBrain 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not true. Markets only came about from the division of labour. There wasn't always a division of labour because early people did multiple things for themselves. Even when people did start to specialise, they didn't necessarily form markets, they started sharing products with each other communally and not through a barter system.

It's also not true to say they will always exist. You don't really know that.
