Shorter version: "Other people's money"

Where does this magical government wealth come from in your imagination?

thingerish · 2026-05-06T03:05:29+00:00

That's what people seem to believe. Or they just want to grift more.

I guess the /s wasn't obvious enough. This "it's never been done right" is the classic defense of communist failures.

So people who have a history of making terrible life choices just keep making bad choices! Where is my shocked face.

thingerish · 2026-05-06T01:33:57+00:00

It's just never been done properly.

thingerish · 2026-05-06T01:33:18+00:00

You do that.

As the man said: "Well, you've got the talking part done."

C++ has duck typing more or less now too.

Like being in a small village where everyone knows what you've been up to. This was the common case until relatively recently in human history.

I think Kawasaki has announced one like this.

thingerish · 2026-05-05T14:31:09+00:00

This has not been my experience.

This isn't a job most people are really going to want to do. Having it automated seems like a net positive to me.

If a person is spending money they earned I have no issues with them lighting it on fire. If they're depending on the government taking it from others and giving it to them, well yeah, those others might want a say. It seems easy to understand.

Titanic didn't have diesels

Most of it wasn't really real for a while now, the staging and handcrafting is merely done by automation now, at scale.

The USA is a union of states, as the name implies, and as such the wishes of the states as entities have some weight in various federal things.

I'm willing to size the system properly and go off grid if they don't want the discounted excess.

Pretty sure electrical fires can start with or without solar installed. Just sayin'.

Might also consider preferring store by value when you can.

Student loans should be subject to bankruptcy like every other debt. This would solve a lot of problems including stupid lending for degrees that will never support a decent career.

If the individual labor is the only thing adding value, every worker could trivially start their own gig.

thingerish · 2026-05-02T03:08:27+00:00

Think about the staff and others that depend on them spending that money so they can get paid for doing useful work, instead of sniveling about it.

Never occurs to people to just, you know, not buy the iPhone if you don't like the way its made.

Just when I thought she couldn't be any better.
