I think capitalism persists because most people can't label a supply and demand diagram.

Any information that's useful whatsoever? Maybe I'm not understanding your question.
I'd love it if everyone could label a supply and demand diagram, and that's about as hard as memorizing 50 capitals.
I just lost the game!
Hi police I'd like to report the police
Too late for that.
It's time to encourage effective defense.
The problem with memorizing 50 capitals (or anything else useless) is opportunity cost. They could be learning useful things instead.
I think we agree that learning things just for capitalism is bad, but possibly disagree about whether schools are currently doing that by teaching cursive. Anecdotally, I was told that I would need it for work.
I write by hand so rarely that I just use sans serif.

If it's for class notes, then the extra time helps me memorize it better.
-
If it's for someone else, then it will be actually legible.
Cursive users tend to overestimate how legible their handwriting is to others.
Mine was pretty bad. The doctor was really stingy about pain meds. I was miserable the whole procedure and two weeks afterwards.
If I ever get a scheduled surgery again, I'm going to buy gray market pain meds ahead of time.

Don't give them ideas!
If writing on the internet does nothing, then why did we have to come here to do it freely?
Luigi Mangione manifesto
To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.
Engineer here, that's why we write everything in sans serif!
Imagine if a profession wrote critically important directions on which lives depend... in illegible chicken scratch. That would be crazy.
Back then that was very impressive!
