Victim of Communism
bigots deserve to be houseless
Eliminating homelessness goes a long way towards curbing bigotry. It’s far easier to exploit and abuse folks with no permanent place to live. And our propaganda machine loves to pin problems produced by structural failures on the victims.
Once you house the homeless, a lot of the low hanging fruit of fascist agitation fades away. And a significant pool of young, uneducated, easily exploitable people are no longer in easy reach to radicalize.
Driving is g a right
In a city without public transit, denying someone the right to drive is denying them personal autonomy.
Everyone should have equal rights
To ride the bus
Boom. Solved.
And they call themselves Capitalist.
That TV was manufactured unethically.

Beginning to think my productivity is simply being captured by my boss and turned into profit for my company’s investors.
“Sorry Shareholders. We have $500M in bad debt to Anthropic. So now we’re liquidating and your shares are worthless.”
Only if they actually use it
When you owe Claude half a million, you’ve got a problem.

For everyone who’s a valedictorian, there’s another hundred out there who weigh a hundred and thirty pounds—and they’ve got calves the size of cantaloupes because they’re hauling seventy-five pounds of marijuana across the desert.

You’ll notice the timestamp is cropped out, because this post is from the paleolithic era.
Fill them with hydrogen instead.
Even setting aside the high flammability, hydrogen is a bitch to store and transport.
You really just need something lighter than Nitrogen to get an object airborne.
Consider Ammonia or Methane instead.
how could he think people would actually buy this argument?
When you surround yourself with YesMen and hype beast sales guys, how can you not.
Why do these colleges keep inviting these chucklefucks to speak to the various student bodies that clearly hate them?
Because the universities are, themselves, riddled with patronage and graft. The privatization of the University systems has turned a lot of these schools into mere extensions of this or that corporate campus. And so the CEOs treat the student body like interns.

Even if everyone cooperated faithfully and diligently fully in on the plan of being rendered redundant in a few years, what do they even have?
Just the generic motions of work. As soon as your business model shifts, or some interface changes, or you run into a problem that you haven’t seen before…
They’re cannibalizing themselves. That’s the only way you can describe it. An organization that’s hollowing itself out with management aware it won’t last (or delusional enough to believe reality will never catch up with them).
If they’re doing this with their infrastructure, how much does anyone want to bet they’re playing fast and loose with their budgets and accounting as well?
This all screams Enron/Worldcomm waiting to happen.
How fast do you think bullets move?
You could make the same argument about train derailments or plane crashes.
That’s not what is at issue. Virtually nobody is seriously suggesting we de-industrialize transit.
The problem at hand is profit motive. Personal vehicles force people into debt, both directly through purchase and through secondary demands - parking, gasoline, maintenance. That’s what generates the economic pressure that keeps them in place.
If we were fixated on safety, we could make cars smaller and slower and we could shield pedestrians from them with infrastructure. You’d save far more lives by lowering the speed limit than raising the DMV licensing standards.
People aren’t consistently competent or responsible. So you either install some kind of panopticon for drivers (the private insurance model) and try to price people you suspect are high risk out of your personal risk pool. Or you get people out of cars entirely, knowing anyone can have a day that makes them highly prone to driving mistakes.
