You are 100% correct. People just want to believe that Capitalism is uniquely corrupt. When literally all of human history has seen us exploit and greedily destroy every social and economic system humans have ever engineered. Now including capitalism.

Good regulations prevent critical exploitation, which is why European capitalism is still functional and looked on positively despite still being capitalism.

Only through regulations can an economic system be maintained. US Capitalism is failing because it has been steadily deregulated for the last 40 years.

So yes, Capitalism is poison. But so is blowfish unless you cut it right. Every system we’ve ever built is also poisoned for failure unless it’s always cut down and regulated to its basics.

The entire concept of capitalism rests on selling something for more than it’s worth. This includes your own time and physical labor.

The problem is that we all got indoctrinated to believe that capitalism is a meritocracy, instead of a snake oil selling competition.

We’re instead to believe a high paycheck means you are high in importance. But in reality, since this is capitalism, it just means your high paycheck is now a great reason to waste people’s time to feel important. Selling your time as valuable while actually wasting it as much as possible for profit.

Which is now the only thing that trickles down. Well paid, but ultimate skilless idiots all making decisions to massively waste their time and everyone else’s so they can feel their paycheck is earned.

People who want to get shit done, don’t get these kinds of jobs simple because they’re too good at finishing them. Making all the other idiots they work with look like idiots. So actual skills are seen as a detriment to holding these positions as they quickly reveal how much time is being wasted by every single Csuite whose paycheck is bigger than their abilities. (Which is from my experience damn near all of them).

Worked with Apple, Google, Sony, and more. All have the same problem at the top: idiots delegating impossible promises to people that have actual skills then making them take the fall when it inevitably goes wrong.

PREACH!

I love how the immediate past involving Kimmel proves you wrong. You’re angry at nothing but your own poor assumptions. Namely, that this admin is capable of a level of respect they’ve literally never demonstrated the capacity for.

Show me a single moment where the Trump admin has acted in response to criticism the way you just magically described they would. Because I can point to literally hundreds of examples of Trump lowering the bar far below where people like you constantly bitch it couldn’t be lowered. Now below the bodies of two Americans it never needed to be after people like you bitched “ICE wOuLd NeVeR.”

And despite being proven wrong again for the 30,000th time, here you are still bitching about a depth Trump wouldn’t lower the bar under. He would. Based on the fact he literally always has to the point where the US is now an international embarrassment at best, and a collapsing nation at worst.

You’re defending the worst kind of pedophile imaginable for embarrassingly snowflake reasons.

Good point between the two! I’d prefer being in neither if there was engine failure over mountainous terrain haha.

Imo, the biggest difference between the two is that fixed wing aircraft have a lot more time available to them to correct for a case of complete engine failure. While it would still be an issue over mountainous areas, the plane would certainly have more time to glide and find a place to land imo. (Assuming it’s at a higher altitude than a helo would normally travel). Not that this would make it easier or anything. Just that the total amount of time you have to correct for an engine failure is far greater in a fixed wing craft then a helo, generally speaking.

That being said, the training you’re mentioning is excellent, and I have nothing but respect for Helo pilots. If anything, they have to be more dialed in than fixed wing pilots as there’s a lot more that can go wrong quickly. So likewise, the training needed to be a good Helo pilot far exceeds the training needed to be a good fixed wing pilot. (At least imo). To that end, I would 100% rather be in a Helo with engine failure as it’s far more likely the pilot actually knows what to do, and is trained for it too 😉

100% well said. However, imo the biggest problem is doing this when failure actually happens over any terrain that isn’t flat for several hundred yards.

Engine failure while flying through mountains doesn’t provide enough room to descend and pull back up.

So recovering from critical failure is very dependant on the enviroment the pilot is flying in. Just wanted to add that on, as Helos are imo, basically designed to enter and exit the worst environments out there, making it difficult to counter mechanical issues even with proper training.

I sincerely hope this is satire because I’ve met people that think this way.

Guy was pissed he wasn’t as good at exploiting people as his VC friends. What a joke of a person.

Oh you mean how the whole stock market is propped up by the earnings of 7 companies who are all at earnings highs largely due to suddenly having revenue from Tariffs that forced Americans to pay up to 100% more for the enshitified products these companies barely provide?

Complete mystery as to why nearly every company on the S&P 500 is red except those 7 holding the clown show up. As soon as the bullshit Tariff tax liquidity that was robbed from Americans runs out, that all time high in the start market is going to crater into an all time low. Only thing great in front of America is a depression greater than the last one.

If we depose them, we’d have access to their wealth to tackle climate change. And it wouldn’t be for building the doomsday bunkers they are now.

Zuckerberg spent nearly $400 million for a bunker to be built in Hawaii. This was after Hawaii had fires that cost them nearly a billion in damages.

Zucks $400 million purchase could have repaired half the nation-state. It would have immediately improved ecological recovery, and restore the canopy biome that helps pull C02 from the air as a natural deterent to Climate change. He’d then have most of the population worshipping him for doing so. Likely welcoming him anywhere in the state he’d want to visit.

Instead he can now visit his bunker, needs it because the island hates him, and helped contribute to ecological collapse in building it.

The problem is that billionaires are the worst humans imaginable to have such wealth. It will always go towards cthe acceleration of climate collapse for their benefit instead of preventing it. Whether you feel they’re a contributor or not, they’re still in charge of the resources that could easily stop climate change faster than any other mechanism on the planet.

Instead they’re building bunkers with that money to run from the problems they’ve actively contributed to more than any other human on the planet.

If you don’t want to talk to me, then stop. Not that pedos like you know how.

Nope. I’m listening to an idiot trying to convince me the opinion of a verifiable child rapist is true without using any form of critical thinking or evidence.

Imo, the question is who fires the first shot. If it’s Minnesota PD, Trump will engineer them into the enemy and have a larger pool of people believing him.

If it’s ICE, and continues to be ICE, they will continue to lose support, and more importantly, continue to lose in the hearts and minds of those knowing where this is going.

As long as ICE keeps shooting first and asking quastions later, when things eventually escalate, they will meet the largest amount of resistance instead of the weakest.

Let the antagonizers make it clear who is antagonizing, and you absolutley will have a resistance.

At this point, I think we’re 1 more ICE shooting away from every American with a gun showing up to the Capitol to peacefully protest the same way it was done Jan 6th.

I agree with everything you said. HOWEVER.

No police officer wants to be the one that gets the 10th Amendment challenged in court. These rules you described only exist UNTIL they are challenged.

Do you want them to be challenged given the current SCOTUS?

I don’t. As it would be a literal constitutional crisis. One that our currupt SCOTUS would forever change the norms of given the opportunity. State police are making sure they aren’t the ones providing said opportunity.

Because once SCOTUS corrupts the constitution, we will be actively in a civil war between their interpretation of the constitution, and what was before.

I’m aware of what the rules are. I’m also aware of how most of them have changed through Trumps court and likely will continue to given any and all opportunity.

It’s wise to not give them any.

No shit. Words scare fascists like you. Real Americans fight for words to be said, even if they don’t like em.

Thanks for making it very clear which of these two categories your behaviour is in to everyone but you.

If you want a real answer instead of knee jerk hatred towards cops:

Cops are local police, and have local authority. They do not have jurisdiction or authority over federal agencies.

If they moved on ICE, that would literally start a Civil War. As law would become the word of local authority versus federal authority in determining who has any.

The officers in Minnesota are not defending ICE. They’re trying their best to not be the ones that start the Civil War ICE is trying to.

Because ICE has federal authority, anything local authority does will create a conflict that ICE and Trump will use to justify martial law. They want to use our military to invade swing states, so the Police in Minnesota are trying to prevent that through not openinly engaging with ICE agent provocateurs.

The is solid evidence that both of these men raped child sex slaves.

Nope. There isn’t. You’re lying. Show the evidence for Clinton like I ready did Trump. Show the evidence you claim you have for Clinton, or you are supporting fasicm, not justice. Period.

I already know your response will just be more anger instead of any proof of what you’re angry about.

So show me your anger doesn’t come from a fucking vibe, and maybe then I’ll believe your bullshit righteousness isn’t bullshit.

Until then, I’ll take your lead and assume the worst of you.

That you’ve fully given up American values in exchange for vibes. As easily proven by you actively calling for the unfair persecution of a man you can’t even prove is guilty. Something I guarantee you will fail at providing in your next response.

Once that happens, you are again choosing to defend fasicm instead of growing up enough to know what it looks like.

Respond with your “solid evidence,” or you’re asking for fasicm not justice. Something I didn’t have a problem with because I’m right.

“What the f*ck did you do?”

NEEDS to be embraced as a slogan with the same passion as “Let’s Go Brandon”

It’s the perfect Anti-ICE, Anti-Trump, Anti-Capitalist message.

It calls back to the decades of intelligent well educated Americans saying this was an inevitability given the obvious path we’ve been on.

Your point is very valid.

However, personally (and kinda anecdotally), I doubt the US military would EVER side with ICE.

There’s an unspoken heirarchy within those that serve in police, fire, EMD, and military services. Many of them actually have overlapping skill sets and training requirements. Meaning many military end up as officers or EMD’s. Or officers turnover to fire (there’s literal waiting lists to get into fire departments filled with ex-LE officers.)

The point is, this heirarchy is always determined by the amount of training necessary to hold each position. Usually with EMD and Military near the top in terms of total training needed, both physically, mentally, and practically. Below that is police and fire, both requiring weeks or months of training a year, and each placing large and permanant physical and mental demands on those that manage to complete the training. Both groups usually look up with respect to EMD and Military. If not for their training, but more for the fact that EMD’s have saved officer and fire fighter lives many many times. So theirs a respect that runs very deep between all these people who choose such demanding careers.

Especially the ones willing to put themselves through literal hell training just to possibly save lives. I cannot place enough emphasis on the possibly part. Because you have to get used to death in these jobs.

ICE training is less than 47 days.

Few if any in LE or FIRE respect them. Mostly because most ICE are rejected from their programs for failing training. So they are very much seen as a failure to ALL of these groups, placed in the subbasement of this heirarchy at best. Especially by the military, who have far more training requirements, yet now all earn far less than anyone dumb enough to join ICE.

The people who’ve dedicated themselves to just having a chance to save a life, do not respect those that on a whim one month decided to cosplay as someone that’s “protecting” others. They’re an insult to pretty much anyone that actually does the job ICE barely pretends to.

I VERY sincerely doubt anyone in the Military would be willing to protect a group of untrained cosplayers who all very likely failed to learn how to protect themselves. If anything, the human corpses ICE is unnecessarily creating very much frames them as the bad guy to ALL the people whose job it is to actually prevent corpses from happening.

They do not have friends willing to join them. They are nothing but a national embarrassment to anyone that could.

Free software can’t be “purchased,” so it can’t be turned to shit 👍 Good point.

To clarify mine where needed: the purchasing of what people make is what eventually turns it to shit. (Not just that it’s made, apologies if that was confusing.)

So I completely agree GPL is fantastic and the way forward for us a civilization.

Seriously appreciate this point as a great example of what DOES work well for both creators and community.
