There isn’t an inherent value to making all businesses democratic because very often most workers have no idea how the larger company works as a whole.

I work for an import company. My union warehouse steward is constantly judging the financial health of the company based on the volume of boxes he is shipping. The problem is he has no idea the relative value of those boxes so while he’s bemoaning we sent out 1/4 of the number of boxes on Tuesday that we sent out on Monday he’s missing that the total value of Monday’s sales were 3x Tuesdays. In 5 years of working with the guy he has never wrapped his brain around this. Our company would be much worse off if he had a say in how it works because he simply cannot see the larger picture as those skills were never developed. This is not uncommon and I myself have been the guy who cant see that larger picture in other roles.

Should the janitorial staff have equal says as to the executives in how funds should be allocated? Do we recognize that not everyone has the same skill set and level of skill as others?

The first sentence is not true. The second sentence is absolutely true. It is funny how that works.

Do they need to be public property or do they need to be in the hands of those working there? I’d be more inclined towards the latter as in most cases the public as a whole is not going to have an informed or educated perspective on how specific jobs/roles/companies should behave.

You could kill almost anyone in NV as you cannot kill children in any game nor can you kill major quest givers.

Perhaps they have reasons to not want to encourage senseless violence to NPC’s at a time when a chunk of the population clearly views others as IRL NPC’s?

Im not sure what the goal was here. It seems the complaint is that you cannot shoot NPCs in non-combat situations. That while one game considers taking items to be stealing whereas the other does not which the content creator seems to miss.

Is this really about attention to detail or do they just prefer one game to the other due to directorial choices?

Yes but “controlled/command/planned economy” refers to one where the state sets prices rather than letting market forces determine them. This is not possible to competently do right now with current technology.

Instead of ranting about deregulation why not look at how poorly controlled economies behave? There aren’t many functioning and what few exist aren’t doing great. Humanity is not smart enough to currently run a controlled economy effectively. That might change if actual AI exists but right now we cannot do it.

Remember the largest command economy in history, The USSR, collapsed mostly because of economic failures that were self created. The second largest command economy was the PRC who moved away from it to a hybrid system and has had greater stability since then.

Also the wave of unemployment that is about to cone might push us into a recession

It’s sad that you have downvotes for this. It is a common practice in authoritarian states.

Humanity has, the one with the least propensity to experience crises is the one most nations are following.

Controlled economies are much less stable but Marx was unaware of that as economics in his time was less data driven and more philosophical.

That simply isn’t true. There are thousands of economists all around the world trying to fix these problems.

What you are talking about is grandstanding politicians in America which isnt reflective of all nations.

That being said there is yet to be a system that does not have crises.

“Jesse Rothstein is an economist, and currently professor of public policy and economics at the University of California, Berkeley. In 2010, he was chief economist at the US Department of Labor. He is the founding director of the California Policy Lab, a research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research, and is a member of the editorial boards of Education Finance and Policy, The Review of Economics and Statistics, American Economic Review, and Industrial Relations.[1][2][3][4]”

For those that don’t know the guy he’s got a solid pedigree

Through his mother if I recall correctly

There are some people who can’t just smoke weed. They need highly complex concentrates that require specialized gear to vape/smoke this stuff that is vastly stronger than what most users would want.

In booze terms the comparison would be between the guy who is fine with a vodka on the rocks vs a guy who needs to create a still that releases the grain alcohol into an ice luge to make their drink which is 2x as strong as the first guy by volume.

I can obly think of one transwoman with gold medals and that’s Caitlyn Jenner

Ten female athletes is easy. 10 currently active professional athletes would be much harder

The only reason to privatize the USPS is to be able to take loans against the pension so you can indirectly steal the pension.

This benefits no one.

Worked in a commercial bakery as well as a grocery store bakery. I promise you that bread can be heated from frozen and you would not know the difference. There’s a really good chance the bakery you are buying bread from contracts a commercial bread baker. Bread ovens are big and many don’t have the space for them and non-bread ovens for other stuff.

Fresh donuts are an entirely different experience than previously frozen. You cannot freeze many donuts well such as ones that will be filled.
