Browsing social media, it’s apparent that people are quick to point out problems in the world, but what I see less often are suggestions for how to solve them. At best, I see vague ideas that might solve one issue but introduce new ones, which are rarely addressed.

Simply stopping the bad behaviour rarely is a solution in itself. The world is not that simple. Take something like drug addiction. Telling someone to just stop taking drugs is not a solution.

A slow burn. Humanity is slowly wiping itself out. If this is a Q humanity test then we have failed. We need a Picard/Riker/Data/LaForge combo

Spend more public money on it and hire some more intelligent people to help.

You can't actually solve them. Depends on which problems of course, but most of them have to do with our societies not being fair whatsoever.

I probably whine the most about the lack of transit options in my city.

Proposed solution: Take intra-city transportation out of the control of the county, so it is run by the city instead. The county can run the buses from the suburbs, or not. We can extend the streetcar, increase bus frequency, all the stuff the city wants, that keeps getting slapped down by the county commissioners, because the suburbs don't want buses.

There's a lot of "billionaires shouldn't exist" and "eat the rich" sentiment out there. I often suggest jokingly that it should be legal to murder someone once they reach a certain level of wealth. It might motivate them to limit their greed at some point, perhaps be less exploitative of those who are working to generate their wealth or share more of it. And even if they pass the threshold, they may give more concern to how they treat people and how they are perceived.

That's a pretty fucked up thing to say. Is that really the world you wan't to live in?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

No, it is not the world I want to live in, but I am not convinced it would be worse than the current world.

If bringing food to people is so hard, why not bring people to the food? 🤷🏻‍♂️

We should take all the people who oppose universal national sovereignty, and push them somewhere else!
