But they’re very important, so people are more likely to pay for them. America! Lol

What wing is the policy where you live on and benefit from occupied Indigenous lands that the “right wing, genocidal policy” gave you, and then you talk about a two-state solution, like Europeans twice descended are somehow now Israelites that were lost in the desert but now understand themselves as deserving of equal national consideration because they checks notes made a nation-state 250 years ago amongst tribal nations that well predate the United States. What “wing” is that?

It’s so progressive that you think the Peoples the land was stolen from should get to have some of it back based on how you decide it. Tell me more about this “Progress.” It sounds fascinating.

All of Marx’s “insights” for how he thought things could be were anthropological descriptions of extant Indigenous political and social structures. He published them as “discoveries.” Fun!

This post was entirely parody. People that think this way are cancer on whatever society they live in. So the 64 upvotes are… disturbing.

This should have been buried for how on-the-face vapid and worthless it is.

I thought progress was a myth that killed the Indians?

Ok so until those large groups of people overthrow the structures of power… that just sounds like saying “it takes 13 powerful mages in a circle chanting the anti-power incantation.”

It’s like, ok… but?

If you’re sick, you get sick leave in Australia, no? If you get covid, just like if you get a bad cold or the flu, you should take your sick leave. That’s why it exists.

I’m not even sure what you’re saying at this point. That people should be required to take leave when they’re sick? Yes, obviously…

So your coworker was sick, and you would like the ability to compel them through some authority to go home whenever you think they’re sick? Or they tested positive, were no longer contagious, and came back? I’m honestly just confused.

That’s because it is unreasonable to take elimination of the virus seriously at this point. It’s like saying no one is taking seriously the elimination of cold and flu. For better or worse, it’s here to stay. Elimination is no longer an option.

Not that it’s necessarily the case here, but I destroyed my knee and had crutches etc for a while, and I just got a tag to hang from my mirror.

Someone walked up before I got out of the car yelling about how I can’t park there, and then I got out with my crutches and knee wheelie and pointed at the handicap tag on my rear-view mirror.

Again, probably not the case here, but I had that thing for about a month, and I caught a ton of dirty looks and stuff because people assumed all handicapped indicators are on license plates.

Oh good, I was worried there were individual lifestyle changes that would be helpful but inconvenient or expensive for me. Knowing there’s nothing I can do individually makes me feel much better about doing nothing. Thanks, internet stranger!

I watched it again at 1x, and I feel more convinced. The amount of inflationary pressure average people buying homes is going to cause pales in comparison to the amount caused by the very wealthy using them as investment instruments.

That being said, I’m not sure housing is always going to be the asset of choice for the very wealthy, but, I suppose, it’ll always be one of them unless the bottom falls out. Which seems inevitable. Nevertheless, the main idea–tax the rich at way higher rates–is true and always has been true. The real question has always been HOW to get that done.

I watched it, admittedly at 2x speed, and I’m really not sure I agree. It seems a but of a self-fulfilling prophecy that more people trying to buy homes, thereby creating more demand in the housing market, is going up increase the cost of houses, i.e., “getting in while you can” is only likely to increase the difficulties of being able to afford a home, but, I’m not an economist, and he is, so I really don’t know. Regardless, interesting video.

Do everything you can to buy a house? Don’t you suspect the housing market is going to take a dramatic fall within the next few years? That seems like asking people to catch a falling knife.

Tax the wealthy more for sure, but I guess I would suggest keeping powder dry and punching in at some point during the housing market deflation. Else you risk watching your equity dissolve and be worse off for the effort.

I find your reasonable and informed comment insulting.
