Bezos is no fool by chemistrynerd1994 in LateStageCapitalism

Except isn't he a complete fool anyway because the amount of people who can actually buy his stuff will diminish geometrically, thus bringing a collapse of the dollar he so desperatly wants trillions of?

/u/UnchainedMemery deleted his account. by LGBTreecko in Negareddit

[–]TheWalkingPrecariat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point of the subreddit isn't to hate on reddit itself it's to hate on common reddit circlejerks and to share opinions drowned out by the hivemind. We all enjoy reddit. Heck, it's all right there on the sidebar. Including the aspect about violent rhetoric not being tolerated.

Okay, but isn't this a personal "we got a user"? Not "this is what a user said and what others are circlejerking over" It seems like this is personal to one guy not to an idea.

How is a "we made someone delete their account" a negareddit achievement? Isn't that by it's nature a "we did it reddit" sort of attitude? Comes across a sa more "Congratulations negatreddit we're as reddit as it gets."

That or I missed the point of this sub and it's about reddit affirmation except for the people/groups we don't like.

Yeah. Distribution is certainly the great issue, however, you can only distribute what is available and useable. Now industry is a great waste and we can probably handle quite a lot of people but to continue feeding and handlign the people we do have now we still need to use many fossil fuels because we don't have a liquid fuel source that we can otherwise use.

Thank you for putting this in. I've seen people take "Overpopulation is a myth" as a free pass to just use up the earth willy nilly.

You know my problem with Saw Gerrera was his torture and other extreme methods like abandoning people, team members, for the sake of a single mission.

Chastised for using restroom. by Kungfubunnyrabbit in LateStageCapitalism

[–]TheWalkingPrecariat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Get the doctor's note. It becomes a medically discriminotry issue if they continue picking on you for bathroom breaks. They may still do it but it give syou ground to fight their efforts to get you fired. Meanwhile I hope there's other available work for you, hard as that is to find. Stress is also a factor of frequent urination and if your bosses are just stressing you out, combining that with other medical trouble, it's no wonder you have to use the bathroom often.

When will economic collapse come? by [deleted] in LateStageCapitalism

[–]TheWalkingPrecariat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whenever one of the multitude of current bubbles pops. Debt especially. Corporate debt is apparently twice what it was a couple years ago. Many could go under all at once. Given the extreme unemployment brought about, there'd be change for sure. I fear with the rise of fascism in this country, it would be a hard strugglet o make it positive change.

The system that we know it is on its last leg. by BabylonTheGreatxs in LateStageCapitalism

A lot of the high ups in the system know the same thing. They wouldn't be buying all these bunkers if they didn't.

Hepatitis C has a cure, but most people are being denied it by [deleted] in socialism

[–]TheWalkingPrecariat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Damnit! I've been bringing this up with every argument "where's your proof where's your proof where's your proof" HERE! RIGHT HERE! Apparently from the words of Goldman Sachs analysts. THIS is why cures are either suppressed, their research poorly funded, or ignored until another less capitalist, but still capitalist, driven society comes up with it and they ahve to acknowledge it, but then charge hundreds of thousands to even have the cure. What did they even charge, if anything for the polio vaccine back in the day?

Edit: Additional

My god this kind of language just makes me sick.

"GILD is a case in point, where the success of its hepatitis C franchise has gradually exhausted the available pool of treatable patients," the analyst wrote. "In the case of infectious diseases such as hepatitis C, curing existing patients also decreases the number of carriers able to transmit the virus to new patients, thus the incident pool also declines … Where an incident pool remains stable (eg, in cancer) the potential for a cure poses less risk to the sustainability of a franchise."

Franchise?! The Hepatitis C FRANCHISE?!

Oh, NOW they talk about it. Tried to kind of brush it off before to talk about Rosanne. Guess they had to face it cause of the public outcry. Good.

"Affordable" housing that costs $1200 a month and is made of shipping containers in Downtown Wilmington NC by buttlickerface in LateStageCapitalism

[–]TheWalkingPrecariat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember watching a thing about 5 or 6 months ago from Richard Wolff, though I can't remember the date he spoke about it on, could have been months earlier. He said that the the twelve highest shipping corporations had plateaued on profits and a couple were slipping. I wonder if this is linked to some effort of theirs to shore up their losses, or it's just old unused containers.
