You wanted a "free market" and now you're complaining? Didn't you get what you want?

That kind of density requires trains. However, thanks to the privatisation of every aspect of our society, we can't build trains anymore.

Better yet make a Dockerfile

Hiring this type of professional does not come at a "competitive rate"

Thank you

They were wrong and their argument was bad, but it remains a fact that America has dismal public transit compared to other developed nations (which is why their argument was bad).

> Look up actual energy efficiency of American mass transit systems per rider mile.

Could you pick a worse example?

Then what is communism?

> give wealthy people extra cash and hope some of it came to the rest of us

Is letting them run hog wild through our cities replacing neighborhoods with luxury high rises for foreign investors any different?

Obviously we could always use more updated housing in urban areas, but you are either stupid or acting like it when you pretend the argument is not about who should be building that housing and whether anyone should profit from owning it.

The "free market" has never been a thing

I don't think you know what whistleblowing is.

> there were classes within soviet society

Karl Marx's definition of communism was literally "a classless society"

It can, but it's always predominated by their social relationship to the material means of production, which makes that relationship the primary determinant of their role in reproducing society. As such, one who sells their labor for a wage has a role that is most fundamentally different to that of one who controls (owns) the material means necessary to convert that labor into value.

Whistleblowers don't do that. The media does. Do you know what whistleblowing is?

That's not whistleblowing, so no, it does not give whistleblowing a bad name. This is actually very simple.

What do you think class is?

Class is determined by one's role in society.

Working people are working class, and Donald Trump is not one of them.

Owning people are "owning class" also called "bourgeoise" and Donald Trump is one of them.

"Lower class" and "upper class" are nonsense Americanisms.

> or can't afford it

That is the problem.

Insofar as the only historical solutions to this problem have involved displacing landlords, I see no reason to thank them for anything at all.

>Human rights abuse

That's a convenient way to dismiss ruthless exploitation of 3rd world populations, nations, and the natural environment.

And if you don't consider the police violence against the indigenous populations of Bolivia following their democratic elections then what are your qualifications exactly? "Lithium mining" is not the problem, of course, but the political interventions of Lithium interests has robbed millions of people of freedom.

Huh? What are you talking about and who is it directed at?

Not delusional at all. I appreciate that this acknowledges it doesn't have to be this way. Governments don't have to be dominated by the private market's profit motive.

Yes, really. I was interviewing last year and used it in one of the projects on my resume. Almost nobody knew what it was. In fact, exactly 1 out of 25-30 people I discussed the project with knew what Traefik was..

> The merchants of doubt dominate media.

Wrong. Literally, the merchants of oil dominate the media.

Keep digging and sooner or later you'll come around to accepting that your previous discoveries (like broad implementation of permaculture) can never be realized under capitalism; that capitalism is in fact the opposition to your vision.

It's a trend towards lower wages. That's all.

This is also a silly solution. There is no shortage of people with college degrees. The only result will be lower wages.

I am speaking as a SWE who only recently received a degree late in life, purely to assist in my next job search, which I don't expect to be soon. I am not defending such accreditation nonsense.

Hardly. This never should have been necessary to begin with. It's pathetic that it took so long to reverse.

Yeah, it gives a brief critique of existing ontologies but does not proceed into epistemology.

Lmao having multiple email addresses or H&M accounts is definitely not "wire fraud."

I use Fastmail's masked emails all the time and nobody minds at all. I just used another one at H&M yesterday, which I do every single time because you get 15% for creating a new account with them. I don't even read it out to them. I just hold up my phone and show it to them, which they appreciate.

In the aggregate, sure, but this sort of nonsense diminishes the risk and liability involved. These people belong in Hell.
