Freezing rent will directly lead to less housing. But then they're building more housing units, which will hmm. Well, it won't directly harm me, so I welcome this experiment. Perhaps it will work this time, somehow.

Free public transit and childcare are pretty much win-win propositions, although both will possibly incur some bureacratic problems. Such as setting wages etc. which the free market won't be able to help with anymore when they're fully paid-by-taxes public services. Then it just becomes a question of how well those problems are addressed.

There's some reason to believe this one. For instance, the sudden rise of Epstein's List on top of every feed seems to suggest that someone doesn't like what Trump is doing or is about to do.

Second, I'll just allow myself to hope that somehow a piece of sanity reached Trump.

Everyone's a billionaire in Star Trek. But oddly enough, everyone is controlled by a huge naval organisation.

How did they ever think he's not in the Epstein files? It's like thinking that the Covid-19 didn't start from Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Org-mode is like the SAP of personal knowledge management tools.

I mean I guess you're joking, but nevertheless I think it's a bad thing to hope that every fifth person gets born into a body their mind doesn't agree with.

This is so absolutely adorable.

I live in country that has plateaued financially for the last 2 decades.

You'll be fine. Really. In opposite to what you might have heard, free market capitalism in no way requires constant growth. It can adapt to plateaus or degrowth just fine.

 

Thus disarming the lie that he's a dictator that is spread by fine people like Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Lemmy tankies.
