Wait, it's not about being pro-life!? I'm shocked! Shocked I say! Well, not that shocked.

I don't think value to society weighs into the equation, just the ratio of salary to ownership wealth gain.

There are bad people in the working class that are a net detriment to society, just as there are good people in the owning class that are a net benefit. Those good and bad deeds don't change how they accrue wealth and therefore don't change their class.

This working class isn't a morality judgement, it's a wealth ratio per individual.

According to Forbes, on average 60% of CEO compensation is equity. In short, I was wrong. My bad!

Working class means your primary wealth generation tool is selling your labor. The compensation plans vary widely, but I think most CEOs are earning most of their wealth through a salary vs returns on things they own.

You can hate it all you want, but that's what working class means.

This is my biggest frustration with these posts. We might not like it, but CEOs are still working class. Most of their wealth is derived from a paycheck. They aren't even the owning class. They're rich AF, but they're a symptom more than a problem.

What's the zone of avoidance at the top?

Is it just what is obscured by the center?

I think the goal should be slow continuous growth. It's a social media tool and that requires enough engaged users so it doesn't feel dead. As you pointed out, we're not there yet. I also think a huge jump in new users would be detrimental. Without central leadership of traffic and hardware Lemmy requires longer to respond to changes in user load. Nothing would be more detrimental to adding long term engaged users than an influx of new users that caused infrastructure overloading.

We're very spoiled with reliability these days. People are not interested in unreliable access to their doom scrolling (myself included, unfortunately).

You have some good business sense. That's a good target market for your product.

He just needs to make it an employee owned company. I believe it would make it a stable institution.

There's a skatepark near me that is still bumping. All ages, all times of day. There is even this guy who lives in his car that comes out an practices DJing out there. It's an awesome little community.

What do you create? (self.nostupidquestions)
 

I just decided to start asking this instead of 'what do you do?' when meeting people. Figured I'd try it out on you folks.

 

What preparations do you take when moving outdoor plants indoors for the winter? I'm mostly worried about bringing bugs inside. What techniques do you use to ensure you don't get infested over the winter?

 

The way I see it, the major barrier to countries implementing carbon taxes is the fear their economic competitors won't do the same, therefore hindering their economic growth needlessly. A valid concern.

Why don't some nations build an 'opt in' style Free Trade Agreement that allows any country to join as long as they prove they have implemented and enforced a carbon tax. Those countries then have high financial incentives to only trade within the 'carbon tax block' and any country outside is at a serious trade disadvantage.

I've (quickly) looked and have not found anything like this proposed (which is frankly crazy).

Would you support your country jumping into this FTA?

What are the unforeseen downsides or objections to a plan like this?
