Or very high and progressive multi-property taxes 🫣

“Shut up and take my money” is outdated
Now it is: “Shut up and let me take a loan right away”

And me, I’m among the people who are relaxed on a bus but uselessly stressed on the road 🫣

People on busses: “OK this trip lasts 2 hours, we started moving at 8:15 so by 10:15 we should get there”
Same people while driving: “If I don’t very slowly overtake this car that for the past 10 seconds has been driving slightly slower than I’d like to, I’ll never get there”
The irony is that the T stands for Torino, Turin, the city card are supposedly being built, while FIAT became the italian symbol for offshoring
To my understanding, Market cap is the total number of shares multiplied by its current price. To do an experiment, if we were to sell those shares, the price would start shrinking, and so would the market cap, way before we can get that kind of money
The market cap is just a reference value, not a count of sonething really happening in the economy. It represents sonething more like investor expectations.
The comparison to GDP is interesting, but it doesn’t represent what it looks like.
GDP is, in itself, a reference value that represents a few things, this time it does stand for something happening in the economy, it kind of estimates the value added by the economy at current prices.
A better way to describe how important invidia is in the US, you could compare all revenues by all companies, and see how much Nvidia represents over that. I don’t know if we have that kind of number.
But to give an idea, we would instead look at the number of employees in Nvidia in the US compared to the total number of workers in the US
We are looking at a total of 161 million employed people in the US
https://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat18b.htm
And a few sources tell me 30k employees in Nvidia globally! Let’s assume they are all in the US.
So you see that what you claimed would mean that this 0.02% of workers in the US account for 16% of the totalUS output. Which would be insane
I hope my reply helps you, I’m also learning, there’s no shame in that
I had Mexican flatmates/neighbours during my master’s abroad, and it was always funny to me how they casually insert English words while speaking, with a perfect American accent whilist talking Spanish
As an Italian I might do that too, but the accent is nowhere near, we just need the word in English but pronunciation can be whatever

Me too, far more than on other platforms
This is based on one controversial source, an article written by a priest, to which the commission board decided to formally respond with concern, including for conflict of interest
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5567452/
There is a whole discussion.
The point of having sources is not to demonstrate a number is true, but to allow readers to see how scientific are the findings. You can read the discussion for yourself.
This poster cherrypicks a controversial article that shows the numbers the poster authors wanted, despite it being an outlier in that research space
If you are interested on contemporary socialist economy professors talking about the experiences in the soviet union and in China, there are some, Richard Wolff is a nice one to start with. He carefully explains concepts of Marxism and to what extent they were applied in various cases, but then focuses on what current socialists advocate for.
If you want working examples of non-capitalist systems, that are sorts of socialist systems, we have worker coops such as the Mondragon coop in Spain, or the Democratic Confederalism of Kurdistan
If you are not interested in learning anything of socialism past what billionaires’ propaganda tells you, you are very free to do so
“Those in control” should be the workers, otherwise it’s not socialism, no matter how dictators like to call themselves
“Everyone treated like crap except those in control” applies to capitalism too, especially in colonised countries
Popularity is a curse, and the fix for a fair economic life is anti-capitalism
Capitalism will exploit people’s qualities, if that is looks, they will exploit that too
This could go wrong in so many ways
Is that a big pigeon shadow on the top?
Tbf to them it’s not their fault that the once leftwing party “randomly” decided to put a boneless liberal right before an election that had them winning for sure
I wonder what lobbies and their media have to say about that magic trick
There’s a german techno band called Scooter, they made a song called How Much is the Fish, and another one called the phrase I wrote
The question is what is the question
Yeah… you see, exactly because people who think like you exist, women have to look for clues right away that they are not going to date a misogynist…
Women need protection when meeting with strangers, basically all women have life experience that make them feel they need it. I’m sure you as a guy are able to take no for an answer, but your date doesn’t know that yet, and it takes just one guy who doesn’t to ruin a woman’s dating experience and possibly her health and safety.
I do know women who don’t feel that need, but that’s mostly because they are ignoring their own and their friends’ past experiences. It’s their choice ofc, but it’s universally accepted among women that it’s not a strange thing to do, in fact is the safest thing to do.
If some women then abuse that need to try to freeride, it’s another discussion, and as a guy I would simply drop the date if I were in that situation. But the need exists, it is valid, and not validating this need to your date will raise a red flag.
Socialism is when women bad
