That’s not the way any of this works. You can’t just change a portion of the system. The US imports a ton of food. Banning something is actually a realistic ability. Ingredients have been banned before. Creati ng a system that is doomed to failure due to not thinking about it for 3 seconds is a different class of ability. We’re talking about changing the laws of a country, not breaking the laws of math and physics. I’m pro-socialism but this is an awfully thought out take. It would cause worldwide economic collapse and less to starvation around the world due to such an event.
I mean, if we’re talking about impossible things, changing the world economic structure is one of them.
You can’t socialize food production without socializing the entire economy of the world. Many countries rely on food production as their number one source of income. So you can’t just socialize one industry. Let alone getting the world to play along.
An incentive could be “offer healthy alternatives otherwise something bad will happen.” It requires meddling with the system and ignoring the free market, but sounds like I don’t think you’d disagree with disruption in the free market.
I think we just need a way to incentivize corporations to provide healthy alternatives as well (and not just HFCS, but high sugars in general, etc). Not sure of the best approach, but the bigger issue is that when every corporation is pushing cheap sellers that are addictive, its no wonder most people eat them. Like, McDonalds alone isn’t responsible, but corporations in general because their basically saying they can’t be held responsible for being successful. But they’re putting so much money into being successful and trying to be successful, that it’s difficult when you have such large entities pushing that way but then saying “it’s not our fault people are going in the direction we push”
Yeah, it’s essentially similar in the US. I don’t know if kids are legally obligated to do chores, but they can work in certain family businesses without monetary compensation. I just don’t think it should be opened up to the point where you can hire any child. But in any case, pretty sure this is a troll post as their first example was cobalt mining. I mean, I guess there’s a small chance it’s not a troll, but very slim.
This is likely related to why kids can work in a family owned business to various extents. At least in the US. Not sure about elsewhere.
The problem is that once you make it available for anybody, it becomes a societal pressure and children won’t be given a choice since they can’t make their own decisions for what they do. Hell, how many of us were ‘forced’ to get a summer job as a teenager by our parents?
Hardware keys are compatible with passkeys. Once you step into two-factor territory, your identity will be linked to something. I can see the issue with devices themselves, but I don’t see that same issue with hardware keys. And I don’t see any movement towards not supporting traditional passwords in the future. There’s more services (granted many are small scale) in the world using passwords than not. So I doubt passkeys will become the only supported option.
Is your instance behind? Cause I have multiple comments in this post as well.
Edit: starting to think it might simply exist only elsewhere and not on that instance itself.
Odd that my history doesn’t show properly for you as there are even more comments on this post.
The comment didn’t appear to be good faith dialogue. If you thought it did, that would explain your confusion. No one owes you any sort of good faith dialogue after that point. You take the lesson about being less careless with words and they can have their strict peace. I don’t see the value in the complaints and whining after that point. It seemed like you had a particular axe to grind with one specific event and chose to try and goad them elsewhere. Why else call a bunch of far leftists conservatives if not trying to kick the bees nest. Your whole approach with your question was extremely intentional to try and attack them. It was not done harmlessly and it was even kind of childish.
Not everyone needs to like you. You will gain nothing of value and simply add negativity into the world with your continual pestering about it. Like what is even your end goal? What do you want to actually happen?
It wasn’t drug users. It was homeless people. It’s in the screenshot that’s on this forum. He said they should be chasing homeless people off the trains. “Clarification” was later. It was pointed out to him homeless people and drug users aren’t even one and the same (a poor mistake I saw you made in your comment as well).
If you didn’t even see the comments, why are you defending them? You’re interpreting them (oddly without having seen them I guess) in a braindead way to assume no malice or negativity were in the comments.
Gold isn’t guaranteed to outpace inflation. It usually does, but not always. Moreover, over periods of time, it’s a poor investment compared to riskier assets such as stocks. Investing in the gold market (mining, etc) can be a little better, but nothing is guaranteed about gold. It’s not difficult to beat gold as an investment.
No, you can change parts of it, but you can’t just arbitrarily say any part can simply be replaced willy nilly. That’s just childish. Changes have impact and consequences. You’re literally ignoring cause and effect. I can see nothing is worth discussing with you though if you’re going to respond with something a child would say. So we’re done here.
