You're missing my point. Shortage and conflict is the default . It's not a fault unique to capitalism, and to say that it's its fault is missing the mark. I'm not saying it's an ought situation or even an is si

I really want to like Ruby; it's my Smalltalk-lite for small projects, because it's easier to run and get going than spinning up VMs. However, it's retarded shit like this drama that makes me move away from languages.

> In 2026, at 18y minimum wage is €7.36 per hour and at 21y it rockets up to €14.71 And the average house price just went past half a million. Even cheap housing is north of 350K. You can't save up against yearly price increases.
