A point I'd like to see discussed more, especially with people who are fans of capitalism:
Economic inequality makes money less useful.
My thinking: as inequality gets increasingly extreme, customer-facing vendors are increasingly motivated to price their offerings to appeal to the higher end of that range -- sacrificing quantity of sales for overall increase in profit.
The more this happens, the fewer people have enough discretionary spending money left over -- or, indeed, enough to live on.
Survival (and even prosperity) then becomes less about money and more about establishing supportive community (a mix of barter and localized socialism).
Take-away: #UBI is the only way to save #capitalism.
I should have expected that, having encountered it many times before from Mises fans.
Please summarize whatever portion of the argument in that essay is applicable to your point.
@prau Ok, now I know whose brainchild you are: "Nazi Germany a socialist state" - wtf did you smoke? I am a German, and I know exactly what Nazi Germany was.
You sound exactly like some of the nazis in the AfD over here.
@ics
You can read this book on Nazi Germany. If you dare.

Omnipotent Government: The Rise of the Total State and Total War
Omnipotent Government was published in 1944, when the battle against Nazism held the world’s attention. How had this terrible system gained power? MisesMises Institute
@prau @ics
Remember the German Marxist revolution after the first world war? Hitler adopted the colours of the popular socialist movements of the time to co-opt their members for corporate fascism, as he himself admitted in Mein Kampf.
Why else do you think the Nazis gave socialists, trade unionists and communists their own work camp patch? 🤡
“US special envoy S Witkoff🚨misunderstood Putin's stmts & took them for a concession.
He interpreted Russia's required ‘peaceful withdrawal’ of Ukrainians from Kherson & Zaporizhzhia as an offer of a ‘peaceful withdrawal’ of Russians from these same regions, reported BILD.
‘Witkoff doesn't know what he's talking about,’ a Ukrainian official. Acc to the pub, reps of the German govt share this assess-.”
"Unbelievable."

"„Deutschland ist kein sicheres Land für Tarek, denn er ist nicht weiß, nicht für Sabine, denn sie ist Autistin, und für mich nicht, denn ich bin Trans.“ Das größte Sicherheitsrisiko in diesem Land seien die AfD, aber auch Menschen wie Julia Klöckner oder Friedrich Merz in der CDU, die nichts anderes könnten, „als zu hassen und zu spalten und Feindbilder zu bauen, weil sie nichts anderes anzubieten haben, weder politisch noch gesellschaftlich“."
Deutliche Worte.

Meteorite That Hit Home Is Older Than Earth, Scientists Say - Slashdot

I have been having a lot of thoughts lately about neurodivergent and aloneness. I keep hearing about friends with ADHD or autism who are mostly alone.
Not necessarily lonely, but often alone. And it keeps coming up in the sense of being OK with being alone. As in they have to explain that they are not lonely even if they are alone. Like often they seek being alone.
I say “emotionally alone“ because I always maintain a lot of distance between me and a person that I’m with.
I never talk about my emotions with a partner. I never talk about my hopes, my fears, my dreams and desires. I never really talk about myself at all because “anything I say can and will be used against me“
I hate this and I never want to do it and it always ends up being necessary. Granted, I think this is an aspect of who I choose because I choose the people I’m used to.
I think a big part of my attempt at dating now is trying to get away from this and choose people who do not make me mask and hide myself
UK: Palestine Action ban protest: half of those arrested were 60 or over, data shows

La imagen es una viñeta de cómic en blanco y negro que muestra a un personaje de la saga de Star Wars, vestido con su característico traje oscuro y capa, interactuando con un panel de control. El personaje está de espaldas, con una mano extendida hacia el panel, mientras que su otra mano está en el bolsillo. A su derecha, hay tres soldados de la Fuerza Imperial, conocidos como Stormtroopers, que están mirando con sorpresa y asombro. Uno de los Stormtroopers tiene una expresión de incredulidad y dice: "No WAY... You tell him." La escena parece estar ambientada en un entorno moderno, posiblemente una oficina o un centro de control, con paneles de control y una ventana de vidrio. La viñeta está firmada por Scott Hilburn y distribuida por Universal Uclick, con la fecha de 2010.

La imagen es una ilustración humorística que muestra a dos personajes animados. A la izquierda, un adulto con una cabeza que parece un enchufe de corriente, vestido con una túnica verde, está enfurecido y apuntando hacia un enchufe de pared. A la derecha, un niño con una cabeza que también parece un enchufe de corriente, pero con tres pines, está de pie con la cabeza inclinada, mirando al adulto. El fondo es sencillo, con una pared blanca y un enchufe de pared blanco. En la parte inferior de la imagen, hay un texto en blanco sobre un fondo negro que dice: "DON'T FORCE YOUR CHILD TO BE LIKE YOU." La imagen es una metáfora humorística sobre la importancia de no forzar a los hijos a ser como uno mismo.

Sensitiver Inhalt
“We have no choice” is explicitly totalitarian. It’s anti-freedom, it’s anti-democratic. In a free society with a government of the people we ALWAYS have choices, many of them bad, and all with benefits and consequences.
A leader who says “we have no choice” is a tyrant.

"Prices are going up on just about everything. 'Government data, including from the Commerce Department this week, show that prices rose in June on items heavily exposed to tariffs, such as home furnishings, toys and appliances,' The New York Times reported over the weekend. That’s Trump’s Commerce Department."
