Trolls feed off engagement and bluesky makes it easy to nuclear block so trolls don't like that very much.

I'm looking to immediately withdraw all of my funds from wealthfront and put them into fidelity.

I think it's more due to political ignorance and the overton window shifting right the last 50 years. People tend to equate modern liberalism, which is very much pro-markets and pro-capital, with leftism.

It’s not an echo chamber to refuse to accept hate speech and shitty right wing media. It’s an interesting but continuous claim that if you don’t accept far right and increasingly fascist viewpoints, you live in an echo chamber. This is a l

Basically what I did is just follow some people I knew from twitter, and from that I discovered a few follow lists and block lists that I liked. Within a couple of days I had a pretty well curated and very busy feed of things I was interes

Bluesky definitely has a "this is what twitter used to be vibe" but it's so much more than that. With follow lists and block lists it's really easy to get up to speed and curate your feed. It's also very noticeabl

Yeah I worked for a dude like this before. He'd come into the office literally in people's faces like screaming at the top of his lungs. He did that to me once and I told him to never talk to me again. If he needs something he

I had my gallbladder removed and was receiving new bills literally 18 months later. Just because it worked out "this once" doesn't mean it works out in general. Simple fact of the matter is we pay nearly double per capita wha

Did you read the article per chance? There are very valid criticisms in it and none of your "arguments" here seem like they pertain to the claims the article makes.

"Why are we vaccinating children against measles, mumps, rubella, polio, tetanus... etc. etc. etc." It's the same answer.

I live in the Denver metro area and have recently travelled several places. Here in Denver rides are 20-50% more expensive than they were pre-pandemic and it takes noticeably longer to get a ride.

"enormous government borrowing to fight covid and stimulate the economy" is by no means the reason the trade deficit is what it is or what it will be. The trade deficit is the product of 40 years of policy that promotes outsourci

It's a very very good thing that people are refusing to work for minimum wage. You want employees worth a damn? Pay for it.

This is a big fat "Duh". Capitalistic monopolies also largely explain a majority of the supply chain issues we've been facing for the past few years, largely driven by "Just in time" production.

This is the most likely scenario honestly. I was a security guard while I was in college because it gave me time to study. They were very explicit about NOT engaging with anyone in a confrontational manner. You make yourself seen to prev

They don't set their own pay. It's set by board members that are probably executives in other companies. The C level engineered an entire system where it's impossible for them to lose.

by gethoht 6y ago
So executives reap massive gains during both profits and losses. They literally cannot lose. Yet somehow this is moral while millions get laid off and are tasked with "pulling themselves up by their bootstraps" because capitalis

Pull up a elevation/topo map of Pittsburgh and you'll see why some people will smell something while others don't. It's very hilly and it would be easy for certain particulates/gasses to settle in some places but n

Industrial pollution is probably more common than most people realize. I've lived Denver, Pittsburgh and Tampa and you can always catch smells depending on what part of the city you're in. I just saw this article on Colorado Pub

MCAS is a band-aid trying to fix the inherent stability of the 737 max. Add in the fact that a single faulty pitch sensor could bring down a plane and blam. Finally, fail to properly train pilots on how the system actually worked and how
