“Fascist governments encouraged the pursuit of private profit and offered many benefits to large businesses, but they demanded in return that all economic activity should serve the national interest.”

But yes, many people would rather protect and house animals than protect and house people. So I guess as humans we should have the same priorities, no?
But if you think protecting the environment is more important than providing people shelter I don’t know what to say. And in fact, I am going to state that it is easier to care about the climate than to provide people with housing, which is why people focus on the formal rather than the later.
But…
We see the suffering in our cities, poverty, homelessness, drug abuse, but nothing is done. We see endless wars, propagated by the United States around the world, but nothing is done. We see ever increasing homelessness, but nothing is done.
I think we’ve slowly been conditioned that there is someone else that’s supposed to do something, either a politician, or an organization, or or some administrator somewhere, so we just sit back and watch and watch and watch.
If you want to better deal with the suffering over the world, you need to act.
But I’m afraid we’ve let the sociopaths tell us what the correct way to behave is. Look out for yourself! Survival of the fittest!
Focusing on those, rather than trying to quantify, the emissions, released, is much easier. It’s much easier for me to know how much I buy then to try to find out how much admissions are omitted between the things I buy.
For example, trying to figure out the emissions created by buying a Tesla for a high mileage, gas powered car. What really matters most? The best answer is buying neither of them. Second best sensor is buying and driving it much less, those both matter more than how much admissions are created by the creation or use these vehicles.
They still arguing about how much emissions are caused by elect versus high-efficiency, gas, powered vehicles. In fact, we have something that easily quantifiable versus something that’s almost unquantifiable.
We all just need to do a lot less. But that’s why people focus on emissions and not use, because it’s the thing they don’t want to hear.
This time we stop measuring emissions and just focus on reducing emissions. And that would mean reducing consumption.
I’m saying this new popularity of polyamory is based on the liberalism because it’s the belief that you can have whatever you want and there’s no consequences for it. You end up, externalizing the pollution like all the corporations do.
Even calling it polyamory is idiotic because these people were just in mutual, romantic and sexual relationships, many of them had kids. There been any studies on what polyamory does to children.? One woman in the group even admitted she wasn’t telling her children. Is that healthy? A healthy thing is something you could tell your children.
To think that people can be in relationships and there be no jealousy and no problems or they can manage it somehow, and have everything they want is Ludacris and it’s never worked in the history of humanity.
I don’t care have sex with all the people you want, but just don’t try to rationalize it as some healthy lifestyle if one of the people in the relationship is in a long-term commitment with you.
But I also recently had a friend mother who went to the doctor because her ankles were swelling and she had some other issues. They took a blood test and didn’t tell her. Her kidney function was with stage 3B kidney failure. It was two weeks until my friend showed me the labs and I told her to go back and force him to take more test.
I don’t know what’s going on in medicine if this is something new or is this something old but medical school shouldn’t cost as much as it does if they’re putting out doctors like these.
The guy who wrote this article is a right wing libertarian, who has never had to experience a day of poverty in his life.
This article is an obvious hit job against Universal basic income.
Then they should be much much cheaper that a three years old laptop that can do so much more!
Then why are they selling it for a price that is so much faster and 3 years older?
But you’re saying that the cost of making these devices has gone up? Because if they just had building Lenovo from three years ago, then the cost would’ve went down? And I could buy a cheaper laptop with better performance?

And remember I bought that Chromebook for $150 off.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/285615350696?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid...
But compared to this, which I found on eBay. Putting Linux on that? it would outrun that Chromebook by 1000 fold.

So what I’m saying is I want to buy a new laptop with older hardware that runs faster than a newer laptop with newer hardware for the same price.
