From what I could see, nurses were pushed to work in hazardous conditions as “heroes” and “essential”. A cohort left because the risk/reward was bad in a situation where supply/demand was low, some then got huge pay bumps to be travel nurses. In short: capital interests exploited nurses willing to work for non-monetary compensation (e.g. clapping, their own sense of compassion, etc). The nurses willing to demand more pay generally got it
I was going to send a DM to cowbee, but it may be worth knowng for others. I’m a bit older and may be a “normie” leftist with moderate anti-cap views and have unexamined prejudices about the USSR. I liked what I read from Lenin/Marx (one work each, i know!) but don’t like the reality of what I know of Stalin so don’t want that association. After reading some more, I’ll reexamine the USSR prejudices. So thanks to cowbee and folks who didn’t assume malice
Civil and Fair, so thanks. I’ll also pay more attention to the instance in the future if only to not be so baffled. Even if folks consider the Soviets progressive for the time, my 2 cents is that tying modern anticapitalism to the realities of USSR, especially Stalinism, does a disservice to progressive movements and even Marxism. But as you say, it’s a minority opinion, so I’ll accept my downvotes. Thanks again
Fascism is probably heading more towards neo-Feudalism than sticking with traditional capitalism
Because the Soviets were assholes. I didn’t realize that would be controversial. I wish folks wouldn’t restrict the concept of anti-capitalism to the ussr. Raised fist? Red and black?
Lowkey yikes. I don’t want to associate myself with either graphic
As other two have said. The carrying costs for banks is just too low to incentivize liquidity in housing supply. Put them on the market and watch home prices and rent fall
I made the mistake of playing too much in early access and it was a lot of fun but I am worried it ruined the experience. Looking forward to trying a fresh playthrough!
Or just add back the comma. Putin enters Trump, talks from a position of strength"
Why does posse comitatus not apply here? Genuinely confused
Sadly, we could. We, as usaians are choosing not to impeach him for flagrant emoluments violations. Greedy narcissists are gonna greedily narcissist, this is on us and his supporters (even if it’s mostly on the supporters)
I do? I’m saying that there’s no reason for the world to band together and implement tariffs on us. Low volume would be another reason not to, but we do export a non-negligible amount worldwide. Most to NA, but over 300B to EU last year
Because, as we’re experiencing, tariffs are a regressive tax on your own populace and hurt the most vulnerable. Also, they don’t have to. We’re pissing off enough regular people that they’re voluntarily buying made-anywhere-but-USA. Lastly, why provoke an idiot with a huge military?
They can and will dismantle American power just by not buying our debt and then supporting a chamge in the world’s reserve currency. Trump is screwing us for generations
My mobile spelling has gotten to be garbage because my phone keyboard autocorrects Sometimes and I’ve gotten lazy about Swype/deleting mid-word mistakes. My pen/paper and also physical keyboard spelling remains persnickety
Absolutely. It makes me crazy that people can’t imagine what the consequences of American isolation will be. We built this position and lifestyle over generations, and every single other administration including his was smart enough not to fuck with it
There are a few podcasts like that I think. Notably Hello from the Magic tavern. A sitcom, even animated, would be pretty cool!
I believe it too. What a shit time for American materiel support to collapse
RIP… The wayners were such an integral part of the dd experience. Ruin has come to our family
Could be Mossad, too! Or wind, I guess; Helicopters are death traps
If you parked a million dollars in QYLD, you’d get about $120k per year (pretax) in exchange for your contribution to society of “having a spare million dollars”
