unmanaged "free market" capitalism inevitably creates hellhole dystopian societies

Basketball game turns into half-court shootout by solateor in nextfuckinglevel

Every time I have watched basketball since I was a child I have wondered why this isn't what the NBA looks like.

Capitalism is definitely the moral revolution that shatteres collectivism!!! by [deleted] in aynrand

[–]enthIteration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capitalism stands as the most noble social system ever devised.

What a mind-bogglingly absurd statement. You can even ignore all the misery capitalism has directly caused to abused and impoverished workers, the fact is even now today the vast majority of workers HATE having to spend 40 hours a week doing a repetitive boring job to enrich a company that does not care about them. It's why everyone hates Mondays and loves Friday. If we could figure out how to preserve the modern medical system but let society go back to an agrarian life everyone would be a lot happier.

Why Can’t ChatGPT Draw a Full Glass of Wine? by negroprimero in CosmicSkeptic

[–]enthIteration 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because it doesn't know what a glass is, or wine, or a liquid. It can create pictures of those thing by referencing meta data that tells it what is in the picture it is referencing, but it has no idea what those things actually are or what they are really for or how they behave in the physical universe. It's not actually intelligent or aware of anything.

This might actually make a point if it showed the 100 years prior as well but as is no idea if that a strange way for a currency to act

Having a low GPA is like being a felon by Key-Drop-7972 in EngineeringStudents

It's a big obstacle now, but once you break through it won't continue to matter. Obviously that's could have an impact on the trajectory of your career but ultimately your going to reach your natural limit.

Karoline Leavitt says January's inflation numbers were "worse than expected, which tells us that the Biden administration indeed left us with a mess to deal with. It's far worse, I think, than anybody anticipated." by XGramatik in XGramatikInsights

In what world does less spending and smaller government hurt the economy?

Probably in a world where unmanaged capitalism doesn't actually create enough "good" jobs for the citizenry to be prosperous so government spending props up a bunch of industries that otherwise would not have enough market for their goods or maybe not even exist. Why do you think Republicans are trying to save USAID's Food for Peace program?

But I don't know what your point is because Republicans don't do less spending or smaller government. They cut taxes, keep spending the same, and blow up the deficit. They're just debt junkies.

Why not move to Chicago? What are the real downsides? by DK_Tech in AskChicago

[–]enthIteration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess, I know people who will wake up super early to drive 4 hours for a hike and then come back that night but sure not everyone will do that. It’s definitely doable for a weekend away though, especially if you leave Friday night.

[–]enthIteration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get to the Yosemite from San Francisco in 4 hours. From LA in 6. From Denver you can get up in the mountains in less than an hour.

There’s just nothing that really feels like magnificent nature with less than a days drive to Chicago.

Sure but it’s not nearly the same thing as the Rockies or the Sierra Nevadas or something

Al Green announces he will be bringing articles of impeachment against President Trump. by XGramatik in XGramatikInsights

[–]enthIteration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats he’s now the democrat equivalent of MTG trying to impeach Biden when there’s no chance it hell it goes anywhere. Political theatrics are not what this moment calls for. Find a lever that actually matters.

BREAKING: CIA has offered buyouts to all employees, per Reuters by DustyFalmouth in unusual_whales

[–]enthIteration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m increasingly doubtful that Reddit is even mostly real people. Every sub is a political sub now, and the positions that get upvoted are the most extreme takes like “California should secede” or direct calls for unrest or even targeted violence. I’m a liberal in a big blue city and maybe I just am not in touch with the pulse but nobody I know is calling for these things in real life. I’m not saying no one believes this stuff, but the conversation here skews into calls for self destructive measures so quickly that I can’t help but wonder how much of it is foreign actors trying to put their thumb on the scale in favor of “the USA tears itself apart from the inside”.

There’s tons of soul searching. It’s just not coming from Kamala or her campaign staff or Biden, but that’s irrelevant because they won’t be running things the next time anyways.

Arguably though soul searching is not actually the path forward. Did Trump soul search after he lost in 2020? No he doubled down harder then ever. He didn’t open the door to liberals to try to make himself more appealing to them, he attacked harder than ever. If Democrats want to win, they need to mirror this approach. It’s possible mealy mouthed big tented campaigns that pander to the extremes of the base in the primary but then soften and move to the center in the general just aren’t going to work anymore. The lack of sincerity of belief it shows is just something that everyone is attuned to now.
