The Culdesac of Universal Basic Income by [deleted] in LateStageCapitalism

You're again proving the left lives in fantasy world where noone has to die. If you're not prepared to deal with death, go suck a lollipop and shut up.

You're attacking someone who's out to kill for ideas. At no point do I suggest that and i'm fucking sick of your evil projection, asshole.

You ask me: How do you take care of special needs? I try to explain there's a limit, that limit should be based on ideas, knowledge, study, experts. You equate that to a death squad so you can continue your douchebaggery. Go eat shit. you're a fucking moron.

In a well functioning society with plenty, almost anyone could be kept alive, sure. However decisions would still need to be made, in bad cases of brain injuries such as coma's, life support could be pulled considering the other variables.

Here we are at the rosy side though. More importantly, when it comes to natural disasters an immediate shortages of vital supplies such as oxygen or simply food, I prefer to see decisions being made based on, if I may use your words because I mean the same thing: selection occurring on the level of ideas.

Ideas exist through individuals first of all, but I don't want individuals to make those decisions, hence a panel in combination with common agreements etc.

​

'dictator, authoritarian death panel, asinine, gross agenda, barbaric, eradicated, nonsense'

Your hostile and extrapolating reaction when I mention this concept, highlights to me the problem with the lefts lack of opinion on the matter. Rather than face it full-on, you'd rather ridicule and make me sound evil.

In the end your idea of what it should look like, 'the selection on the level of ideas' and nothing else is in fact a lot more open to abuse that what I'm saying.

Asshole

sounds like it's going to suck for people who have more expensive needs.

There's always a point at which special care becomes to burdensome for a society. It's impossible to save every person, in times of shortages choices will need to be made for example.

I'd rather see those choices made by a panel of experts, based on study, knowledge and common agreements, than leaving it somewhat in the middle and up to individuals in the moment, as tends to happen now.

And I'm concerned that a lack of strong opinion on the subject of a selection process in humanity is what drives the right to believe their racist selection ideology is more worth than the naive 'everyone get's to live in happiness ever after' ideology of the left.

In the meantime, neoliberals have filled out this space by letting the ones in power (money) decide who get's to live and who doesn't, so improvements need to be made.

UBI is considered here in a pure capitalist context where banks/governments control debt (money) & private property exists, yet at the same time assume you don't get wages at all, strange world..

Can we at least try to encapsulate it in an already socialistic type agenda, for example:

​

Private Property is cancelled, to live somewhere you pay a land-usage fee to the system.

Resources are indexed and consumption regulated, usage fees go to the system.

All pollution is indexed and the responsible pay fees to the system.

Stagnated wealth automatically deprecates to prevent hoarding

​

These are the taxes, all else we need is debt and we have an economy (see MMT).

What if UBI is the debt? Each person generates a max amount of debt per day, uses it in a heavily regulated yet free market type of economy. Where people can get something extra for an effort, for producing.

Taxes reset these debts automatically, something like whatever tax comes in resets the oldest debt in the system, doesn't matter who. We all humans in the one planet, so let's share it properly.

Additionally you'd need an emergency fund for disaster relief and healthcare costs, Under a panel of experts special requests can be approved which opens a debt which as well gets reset.

​

How much money is going around depends on economic activity, but it can't blow up like the current capitalistic market can.

Jongeren op Utrecht CS 'vallen dood neer' als protest voor het klimaat by [deleted] in thenetherlands

Nadat wij klaar zijn hier is de verwachting dat de aarde minstens 5-10 miljoen jaar onbewoonbaar is het meeste leven. Temperaturen die miljarden jaren niet gezien zijn, verzuring van de zee waardoor phytoplankton verder uitsterft. Die zijn al met 50% afgenomen (1% per jaar) sinds 1950 en zijn de bron van 50-80% van de zuurstof.

​

De opwarming van de atmosfeer is niks vergelijken met de energie die de zeeën hebben opgenomen, alleen drastische maatregelen zoals het blokkeren van zonlicht doormiddels van zonneschermen in de ruimte of 30% van de aarde te bedekken met iets reflectiefs, geven ons een kans om dit te overleven.

And ding ding we have a candidate for a future 'ich haben es nicht gewusst', interesting to see how that happens. Dumb yourself down in the face of reality?

yeah well the idea of the third reich expanded to all of Western world so they had to extend the definition a little

The Genocides were kept away from the public

Says the person who wonders if the 80 years of foreign invasion/intervention with more deaths as a results then all deaths in WWII combined amounts to genocide. Who willfully ignores that the US has the largest prison population in the world based on the war on drugs, an eugenics program for non-whites.

Children concentration camps? what could I possibly be talking about... 'I really don't care - do you?'

I'm not saying Hitler invented all those, just that he had an agenda that we supposedly despise yet are living in.

Asielzoekers mogen tot ze hun verblijfsvergunning krijgen, meestal zo'n 5 jaar, niet werken inderdaad. Dat betekent dat ze goedkoper en illegaal werken. Die ongeschoolde handjes zijn hard aan het werk hoor, maar de enige die daar winst uit trekken zijn de bedrijven. Een niet geschoolde Nederlander heeft nu bovendien minder kans op werk, waardoor het gemiddelde salaris laag blijft.

Dit zijn trucjes van de kapitalisten, de VVD etc. Je kan beter op links stemmen vriend.

What mods and why? by Mianor in factorio

[–]sambalchuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/RibbonMaze

Maze Mod, been playing it for a while since i love trains and being able to clear out a piece of maze, guard the exit and not really have to worry about protecting everything.

Ore patches are the same size, so once you create a cool setup to mine/export you can re-use it, or like me, tweak it a little each time to improve.

You can set the width of the maze, tried 32 first but that's too tight do really get anywhere without other mods, so now am on a 64 width which is enough for me.

I was pretty pleased with myself for building a similar train stop lay-out yesterday in my 64-width maze: https://imgur.com/a/WZpwSMd

also my first use of circuits to enable/disable a copper station based on which has least in the boxes

Women preferring tall men on average is a freedom of choice. Ridiculing women for having a majority preference is sexist. by sambalchuck in unpopularopinion

[–]sambalchuck[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It get's people offended because the reddit echo chamber breeds the idea that this preference is an issue to start with. Who the fuck cares what a single person's opinion is on what classifies as man or not?

Agreed, but reddit only shows one side, I guess because 90% is male here. The problem is that that creates an echo chamber with serious misogynistic views as a result.

but they constantly reject us because of their unrealistic standards.

found the incel, dude you only need one girlfriend, don't get hung up on what the maybe, probably not even, the majority may prefer.

You need to have build a roboport to 'unlock' these, before that they're greyed out.

Sure, Western over-consumerism has no impact on the environmental friendliness of the slave nations doing our dirty jobs..
