@DefiyantlyFree Maybe because Russia doesn't feel the need to push their front any further and are content with holding ground while the world wastes money on Ukraine? π€·
@LibertyCappy Honestly ruins it. The whole point is that this represents the boy losing his mother. If artax lives that creates more barriers to relating between the reader and protagonist. We're supposed to realize they're on the same journey, reflecting each other.
@travis4nh A free market allows people's greed to compete so that two people's greed ensures capital investment, while the more conservative one of the two pushes the more aggressive out of the market.
The issue is when there isn't a competition. We need MORE (diversified) greed, not less.
@Mopar Culture is a war of ideas. When ideas aren't free to compete, then neither is the culture. If Christians don't want gays to get married, then they have some work to do on presenting better ideas. And that is true in the reverse of course. Share ideas, let the good ones win.
@travis4nh That would certainly be low hanging fruit, wouldn't it? I'm sure there are other things to be done, but there are items that are an obvious start.
@Granger4NH My counter point is that the morals are different and that's the shift. It's morally wrong for me to have a slave, but having a robot doing manual labor on my property 24/7 would be of rather insane value.
Winning companies will use robots to grow their workforce, not displace.
@texasrunnerDFW@WifiMoneyPlant This was ALSO the case for many late boomers. My parents rented with siblings for several years.
People spend their first 5 years of adulthood trying to reach the standard of living that their parents took 30+ years to get them to. We're blind to the struggle of our elders
@alphafox I got that far into a washer repair but the bracket that held the basket in the rear (and also is the housing for the main bearing I knew was bad) was cracked in several places. The cheapest I could find was $350. To the trash/recycle it goes...
@MusicManVA@DerrickEvans4WV This is the right answer. Though it's worth mentioning that the pro level of suno allows you to export stems so you can easily reuse just parts of a song and make compilations of versions/remixes of a song from suno. End of day, it still sounds like suno though.
@Dale4NH Immediate school funding cap of 20k/student with early increase caps at 2%.
Problem is, that would have to be proposed by each town and passed in each town. And we know it won't.
