It seems like we need to build a system to guarantee a retirement. Maybe some kind of public pension? If you work thirty years, you're fully vested in your own funds independent of your employer. Build it sustainably, everybody starts from the ground up, so that a portion of the funds coming in can be saved and grow in perpetuity. Might be easier to implement with a jobs guarantee, we should be training up more medical staff and environmental/sustainablity specialists anyway. Might be even easier if the government starts building housing to a passive house standard and part of your compensation is that you can lease-to-own the housing from the government as part of your employment. These high quality units would be incredibly energy efficient, and could be built-in ways that encourage regular micro-mobility use (walking, biking, e-bike).

How could we afford to pay for all of this? By reclaiming the stolen wages of the working class and ending The Second Gilded Age.

  • Ending Nepotism - 100% inheritance tax over some reasonably high number pegged to inflation or a better indicator (maybe real value)
  • Wealth Tax - Progressive tax based on assets owned for those as similar number as above
  • Income Tax Reform
  • Funding The IRS
  • Business Tax Reform
  • Eventual Profits From Government Financed Worker Owned Co-ops (and supporting existing small businesses)

Both the government run and worker-owned businesses can compete in the market with big corporations and force the corps to drive down prices. That way the government can moderate the financial sector (who is driving the inequality) indirectly through market competition.

Not every job is a climate/sustainability job, but any employee can be a sustainability advocate. Leverage your power

Most depressing thing I've read all day. A wake up call few will hear.

His whole speech was a call for bipartisanship and for all workers to unite along class lines. Aside from a tiny bit of pandering to the venue/audience which makes the rightwing audience more receptive to the message, he didn't endorse or praise the Republican party. If you want Republican voters to wake up and vote in their own interest, this is how the message has to go. It's also a great way to sow division within the Republican party.

Except that is pretty region specific. I would understand that being the case in climate evacuation areas where the insurance market has fled. But in most parts of the country I have been led to understand that there are few people trying to sell because they have locked in good interest rates.

I really have to wonder who is down voting this comment.

It's worse. It's an unplanned doublespeak that does both.

Well that's all the evidence I need!

Terry Crews for president!

 

I scroll all:scaled fairly often, as my list of subs isn't super active, but there are some communities that come up fairly often that I would rather not see. Is there a way to implement that on the client side or would that require a Lemmy change?

Fully Automated! is a free open-source tabletop roleplaying game set in a wild solarpunk future! And we’ve got some exciting additions since our last update in December.

First, there's the incredible cover art by Sean Bodley!

Next, there’s new interior art by Jacob Coffin, along with pages and pages of new content by our amazing open-source community of developers.

While there’s still lots of editing to do, the current text of the game manual and of the first campaign of adventures represent a pretty close approximation to what you’ll find in the final version. You can find both (for free) on our website at fullyautomatedrpg.com!

That’s the other thing: in addition to our Discord server, we now have a website, a Mastodon account (@[email protected]) and a Lemmy community (SLRPNK.net/c/fullyautomatedrpg). Follow us or join our mailing list for updates as we approach the release of the official first edition of the game. And if you want to contribute art or ideas, our developer group is always grateful for new contributors!

With as much as AI like chatGPT are used to aid in programming is anyone working on developing AI as an iterative attack surface to probe networks?

There are some obvious ethical concerns, but I can see a future with AI red and blue team actors playing a substantial role in network security.

 

I love Octavia Butler and N.K. Jemisin's work, but most of the solarpunk content I've come across is short stories. What would y'all recommend that I can get lost in for a while?
