Name an economic system that doesn’t eventually funnel money to the top. Not one person has answered that on lemmy, but it sounds like you can!

Tell us about your economic system that doesn’t eventually funnel money to the top. To date, not a single person on lemmy has answered that question.

That’s kinda how I took it. Be funny if language evolved back into flowery Victorian speech.

I feel like you’re missing the economic system vs. the government system. Those are two separate entities that must be controlled for.

Mu point here is that capitalism is a fucking mess, with no government controls. Of course it is! As with any economic system.

So, what’s your solution? I am listening.

I can’t log in to YT and use Firefox/uBlock Origin to stop ads. Works fine in Edge. What is that about?!

I honestly think most of these bugfuck crazy views stem from we humans not having evolved to deal with the modern world. People feed us the simple answers we crave.

Sorry, but planning a Linux PC sounds hilarious to me.

“Meh. This piece of crap will do great.”

OP knew exactly where they were going with this one!

The Debian bit hit a little too close for home. “You only use the command line.” Debian has a GUI?!

It was probably prompted to encourage Lincoln and then OP switched the search text.

The bullshit lemmy tells me I see on Windows, I do not see. I have never once had a Windows issue that has come up on here.

They got a prehensile penis instead.

Did you actually read my post?!

Subsidised? Don’t think you know what Habit for Humanity does.

Anyway, I’m not baggin’ on young people for rent ills. Were you able to read, I’m saying they should be extra pissed off.

Little off topic, but I remember my college roommate and I watching a TV ad around '91 or so, “Oh no! Ground beef again? What will I tell my husband!?” We. Were. Screaming.

“Fuck you bitch! We’re on our last can of boiled carrots and frying flour in the last of our oil and topping it with the last of our ketchup!” We were picking pecans off the roof and frying them in the last of our butter and seasoning salt. (A fine meal!) We were scheming on swiping a duck while we picked black walnuts at the campus pond. I’d get dressed nicely and shoplift our Sunday meals.

Kids today: We. Are. Literally. Dying. McDonald’s is SO expensive!

It’s not that we olds think you deserve to suffer because we did, but… we did… Kinda hard to entertain modern complaints.

Don’t start me on rent though. That place was the attic of a 107-yo house that was literally tilting over, held together by wires in the basement. Landlord was not a smart man to begin with, utterly senile by the time we met him. As in, worse than Trump senile. Not even trying to be funny. Still, $250/mo.

$600 in 2025 money, exactly our Habitat for Humanity mortgage today. Please fucking call Habitat and merely ask when the next meeting is! It’s almost certainly not what you think. One phone call changed my life.

This will piss you off. I got turned down for a lease in the 90s because landlords wanted you to take home 3-4x the rent. If you couldn’t make rent in 7-11 days, you were a poor risk.

You and I are 1-in-50 purchasers, if that. Nobody gives a shit if AI is in the game.

Go grab a random dude on the street,

“Hey! Just one question? If you’re considering buying a video game, is the fact they used AI in making it a deal breaker?”

Nobody cares. I’m with ya. Don’t fucking buy it, I won’t. But enough other people will that it won’t make a difference.

You can tell most everything you need to know about a company by looking at the CEO. That’s because they’re the leader, they set the tone, contrary to lemmy beliefs. Happy or unhappy employees? Look to the CEO. Solid earnings, year after year after year? CEO. I ask at every interview, “What’s the CEO like?” BUT…

A) Ultimately, CEOs do what the fucking board of directors wants, or they get fired, hence, the golden parachute. Would you take a monster job knowing that you could be forced to fuck your industry reputation and not hedge that bet? Nah. Force me to do something stupid yet needful? I want paid when you fire me on purpose for doing what you said.

B) I think you are in an echo chamber around here. Most CEOs are great folks, you only hear about the major fuck ups at the major companies. Also, the decisions the big dogs make that lemmy tells you are unpopular, really aren’t unpopular in the wider world. EA Games still exists after all.

everyone will have to 'fess up to using it eventually as AI will become "involved in nearly all future production.

True enough! No reason not to say it up front, right?

Look y’all, not 1-in-20 people give a flying fuck about AI like we do on here.

Most people won’t run an ad blocker.
