The presidential race has never been a meritocracy

What does that have to do with the article?

I’ve always liked the idea that when you reach a certain amount of money - $10 billion lets say - you get a “You win capitalism” certificate, maybe a statue made of you, but then every extra dollar added to your wealth gets taxed away

Hamas is the ruling, elected authority of Gaza. And even before them, other Palestinian officials have rejected multiple peace deals. That doesn’t mean all Palestinians are culpable, the same way not all Israelis are responsible for Netanyahu’s actions.

Its is a ‘both sides’ issue when the Palestinian side has rejected every peace deal, commits terrorist attacks, and calls for the genocide of Jews. Nobody looks good in this conflict.

Why is everyone so black and white on this issue? Israel has a right to exist. Palestine has a right to exist. It shouldn’t be hard to understand.

Those countries are capitalist. Research the Nordic Model.

This joke is so old, time since epoch was negative when it was made

Damn that’s sad. War is hell.

Yeah that’s a bluff. Google searches surely make up a huge portion of their traffic.

A “US-American” if you need to be very clear. But most people just say “American”.

It is shit, Austin

The Julia and Mandelbrot sets always get me. That such a complex structure could arise from such simple rules. Here's a brilliant explanation I found years back: https://www.karlsims.com/julia.html

Wait let's hear him out

Why not?

I have to disagree with this paragraph. That Tailwind enforces a design system is its biggest strength. Having a small selection of colors, font sizes, and padding to choose from is what makes a website feel much more cohesive than one where developers pick arbitrary values every time they style an element.

But you don't need Tailwind for that; design systems are easy to implement these days using CSS custom properties.

These are fair counterpoints, thanks for the reply. My point was more that work is necessary in any society given today’s technology, even in one designed to be as egalitarian and non-coercive as possible

Having to work isn’t a societal issue, it’s the physical reality. Without food, water, and shelter, you’ll die, and someone needs to work to provide those things.

I want a post-scarcity utopia as much as the next guy, but until then, work needs to be done.

So make a self sustaining commune that lives up to your principles. I think you will find that to be more work than your average 9-5 however.

Yep. "A dozen of people came forward calling him a creep but we couldn't technically prove SA" is cold comfort
