The solution, as always, is a land value tax and UBI. Don't need to fret over needing an education to live comfortably if you can already afford and place to live and food.

Specifically epistemology and concrete notions of degrees of truth and how truth is approximated by science.
new copypasta just dropped
land value taxes are even better, although wealth taxes are good too
Something something political relativity...
I've never heard of communism being an economic framework before, I thought it just meant a system without capitalism or a state. Do you have something short I could read about communism being an economic framework?
Fairphone? Graphene doesn't support it tho 😭
Could you link to the James Streib audio clips, blatant threats towards employees and Linus going to bat for D-Brand's racist jokes? I haven't heard those allegations before.
Do you know who these global elite are and how exactly they exert their control? My conspiracy theory alarm bells are goin off lol. Also how does lowering prescription drug prices not address some "real need" of some portion of the public? Not to mention the infrastructure bill which put a ton of money towards renewable energy, which is a step towards stopping global warming... You may argue these steps aren't proportional to what actually needs to be done, but looking pragmatically its kinda hard to do really good stuff when half the country (and thus half the legislature) is whipped into a populist fervor, which you seem to also support given the main thing populists hate are the elite!)
Well, you already got them aplenty, so why not go all the way? Maybe people'l change their mind!
Its possible to make capitalism work for the common good, you just gotta set up the incentives correctly. Land value taxes & UBI!
