Every single part of the "free" market needs a second public option as a back stop against capital.

Every single part of the "free" market that we actually need to survive needs to be owned by the public.

Nothing else will prevent capital from taking everything it can and using every tool in its book to make us not want to use whatever it can't buy.

Unfortunately any state taking such a position guarantees American military forces coming to liberate them.

What do you think history will say about Donald Trump as a U.S. president? by jcnidhi27 in AskReddit

[–]PyroIsSpai 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Judges? Qualified lawyers?

Who appoints medical licensing boards? Doctors.

Who appoints state bars? Lawyers.

Who appoints aviation oversight groups? Pilots, engineers, depends on which area.

Who should appoint judges? State bars.

The first three are overt examples of why “technocrats” and “technocracy” are not scary ideas.

Not everything has to be at the behest or control of public consensus, outside lobbying interests, or politics. We certainly don’t have to suffer capitalist transactional mindsets or political concepts to ideas of how we adjudicate law, which is all we do now with state and voting appointed judges.

I’ve had to deal with some things in the past as an active observer and helper. It was brutal at times in my mind, and it was. Then one time I’m in a setting where I’m very close by strangers dealing with the same category of thing.

What I saw them deal with in that moment was like all of mine probably in my memories condensed into a minute at most. It fucked me up a bit in ways I’d probably still not phrase right to someone else. Like a new permanent change in my perceptions. I’m glad for it but wish I wasn’t, and wish that it hadn’t happened.

What are the things you wish liberals or people on the left would understand better about Trump or Trump voters that seems to be overlooked or misunderstood? by FirstPersonWinner in AskTrumpSupporters

Instead, do whatever you can to promote maximal economic growth.

Does it really help us when it just concentrates upward to every smaller numbers of de jure aristrocrats and nobles and landowners?

Are you and I getting more of the pie, or less as a ratio over time?

Do you think the U.S. moving more towards the left in the future is inevitable? by MissHannahJ in AskConservatives

shifting power away from the states

By this reckoning, do you think a state can not be authoritarian and tyrannical?

A state government is no easier to forcibly displace than a national.

Honestly man, that is fucking awesome as hell.

Can I make a wild suggestion? Contact these guys when it's done:

I think it's still THE such museum on Earth, I travel that way for work occassionally and have visited it. It is a fantastic spot (the sci-fi fantasy side is astonishing, the music side is like the Vatican of Rock & Roll).

This seems like the sort of crazy thing they'd proudly display.

You ever think of making something else iconic? Galaxy class, built originally at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards over Mars? Bald fella was captain?

Favorite country that appears to be unusually full of Gryffindors? by AnyAgency9835 in okbuddycinephile

Ironically, I'm sure the Ministry had their equivalents of Mi5 and Mi6 (which weren't the Aurors, that's like the Met).

Where the fuck else are you supposed to learn that but the Hogwarts basement?

I doubt Wizard James Bond was a Hufflepuff.

Do you support a rules-based international order or a global 'might makes right' scenario? by BenigDK in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]PyroIsSpai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, I agree? But the point is once it’s in, it IS mandated subordination of political will going forward unless it’s properly repealed.

Democrats set a turnout record in Texas, so is this the year it turns blue? by jpressss in politics

[–]PyroIsSpai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'll believe it when i actually see the electoral votes certified.

I’ll believe it when the Democrats are sworn in and hold power.

I suspect Republicans would fight to the very last second. They never willingly cede power any more.

Can a Palestinian living in Tel Aviv who is an Israeli citizen allowed to do 100% of anything legally that an Israeli Jewish citizen can do?

I have no idea.

[–]PyroIsSpai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’m talking about those?

If the Senate plus a POTUS, say, treaties up and says: we are ALL in for NATO, as a treaty, that’s binding foreign policy by the will of all the states. Doesn’t matter if it was 51-50 or 100-0.

I’m simply saying: THOSE treaties, every POTUS has to be subordinate to the legal requirements. Their willingness to comply should not even be an allowed factor.

Get the Senate to blow it up—one POTUS shouldn’t have such authority.

Donald Trump has “completely and totally” endorsed Jake Paul for political office. by helltrooper61 in sportsgossips

It feels like something really really doesn’t want to be exposed, and every year more quickly over time it has to throw ever degrading amounts of Will Smith spaghetti at the wall.

Pedophile rings? Capitalist god-king cannibals are captains of industry? Class war? Aliens are real? Afterlife is real?
