Idk I kinda like being able to take a shit without having to fill out a form every time.

They wouldn’t be able to finish stealing that car before a thousand hungry lawyers ate them alive. Why do we let media companies do that?

They would probably actually have a decent shot at getting away with it, at least at first.

And to answer your question, it’s because the anger that companies generate by doing this shit ends up turning into piracy. Why would you try to punish a corp for doing this (likely wasting your time) when a cheap VPN and basic tech literacy gets you what you want?

The effort ratios are way out of wack when it comes to digital products. It’s easy to get around digital bullshitery, not so much in the real world where we are all car dependant.

I don’t think there are enough such edge cases for it to make sense for it to be legal.

If a corp needs an employee to be that close, then they should hire local, and/or rotate staff.

At a bare minimum, I agree, no corp should profit off of housing.

That’s how a lot of co-ops works. Or maybe it’s called non-market rental. I don’t remember the exact name but it’s definitely a thing.

Either way, landlord parasites are not needed.

restricting corporations from purchases, banning Airbnb (yes, they drive prices up, and if you use them, you are contributing to it), penalizing if unit is not occupied (though enforcement of this will be hard), or banning foreign investors.

Agreed, we should be doing all of those things. Corporations should not be able to own any kind of housing at all, and multi unit buildings should be under non-profit co-ops.

And to penalize unoccupied housing, we should have a georgist taxation system.

One day I’ll have more to do and you people will be rid of me.

And that day will be a sad one.

Because enshitifying their service would earn them short term profits, which is the only thing corps/shareholders care about.

Go for it. It was already an old, long dead meme when I posted it here.

This but corps

Instead of hotdogs, get something that actually has taste. Either bratwurst or hot Italian sausage.

Agreed. Though it has crossed my mind that the in universe explanation for why the Federation is so enlightened and willing to care for all of its citizens because of the horrors Earth went through.

But yeah, definitely would like to avoid WW3/the Bell Riots.

Warhammer is for the tabletop. Anything more is a living nightmare.

Don’t worry! WW3 will be preceeded by the Bell Riots, a collection of revolts by people treated inhumanely and stuck in slums. It will be a fun little distraction before the fireworks. It’s even got it’s own count down now!

According to Star Trek lore, WW3 will begin in 3 years, and last for 27 years.

Buckle up.

Instead the way to go about this is MORE democracy not less of it.

Agreed. Some good steps to take:

• Switching to approval/STAR voting (far fewer flaws than FPTP, generaly better than ranked)

• Requiring all companies to be worker owned democracies. We don’t accept dictators or monarchists in government, so why would we accept that kind of tyranny in our work?

• Shit loads of anti-corruption efforts. As of right now, politics is controlled with money, and politicians effectively get a free pass to use their office for personal gain. That shit needs to end.

Generally, higher voter turnout means that the far right loses.

If influence is not in the hand of the average citizen, it is instead in the hands of the elite, which is far, far worse.

“Make Sure You Are Square With Your God Before Trying To Merge This”

That’s exactly what I do and I don’t have problems getting it warm all throughout.

And even for solid food it isn’t too hard. Just keep it shaped like a doughnut, then let it sit for a minute or two.

How am I going to airfry a soup?

(With that said I have an air frier)
