If we're talking clinical depression, then it's innate and even a perfect society will need to treat them.

If we're talking depressed the mood because you were obsessing over something depressing, then stop doing that.

In both cases it's the root cause that needs to be addressed, not the frowny face symptom. We need to pursue a perfect society in a healthy way.

Capitalism is private control over the factors of production. So you can for example have a socialist society in which the factors of production are owned by the community, but there's still markets and commerce.

Pro:

  • a major problem for miners is heat dissipation

  • the chips commodify more every year

Con:

  • retail energy costs more than wholesale energy

  • heat pumps are more cost effective in most cases

Wouldn't this require that we're all selling off at the same time?

[–] explodicle 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah but think about all the labor that went into making his worthless dumpster truck.

Even if I was innocent, I'd flee any country to which my own won't extradite. Would you rather demonstrate your innocence or avoid the whole thing?
