Just another guy shouting his thoughts into the digital abyss.

@zuckershote @carsandcomrades @ThomasSowell Yes, and in return the business owner supplies the employee with a stable source of income. That’s the agreement. I don’t see any inherent exploitation there; I see mutual trade.

Is the worker not free to seek alternative employment? or, if so desired, self-employment?

[Benjamin @benjaminarium]

@TreesOmaha @ThomasSowell How is the worker's capital 'stolen', exactly?

[Benjamin @benjaminarium]

@carsandcomrades @ThomasSowell In what sense, exactly, is the employer/employee relationship inherently exploitative?
You're making a claim there that needs justification.

[Benjamin @benjaminarium]

@DSA_Arrakis @carsandcomrades @ThomasSowell In some sense, yes; but the citizen’s consent is essentially tacit (he must actively opt-out by leaving) whilst the worker’s consent is explicit (he actively opts-in by signing a mutually-agreed contract of terms in the presence of other options.)

[Benjamin @benjaminarium]

@carsandcomrades @ThomasSowell Workers sign contracts consenting to a certain compensation for their labour. It’s a mutual trade.
What you are referring to is slavery.
Not the same thing.

[Benjamin @benjaminarium]

@TreesOmaha @ThomasSowell Perhaps the workers could start their own businesses? That way, if they took on the burden of owning the business, provided the initial capital, and shouldered the associated risks themselves, they wouldn’t have to forfeit the fruits of their labour.

Just a thought.

@NorthmanTrader Nothing; we haven’t changed.
The technological environment changed.
If those kids on bikes had iPads, theyd’ve stayed home too.

@jordanbpeterson Euphemism is a form of dishonesty.
Be suspicious of the motives of anyone who uses it un-ironically.

@themotleyfool The value of money changes.

I promised myself I'd never touch leverage, but thought 'what the hell' a couple days ago and decided to have a bit of fun with a short position on $SOL. Setup looked good. Then $BONK happened. Lost the lot, and now promising myself never to be so stupid again. Lesson learned 💸

@ninaturner Nothing is free. What you mean is 'paid for by others'.

@Fetch_ai I'm not familiar with CMC's requirements but surely there must be some means of contesting the way this figure is reported? It is very misleading and will certainly confuse/deter potential investors.

[Benjamin @benjaminarium]

@PhantzE @Fetch_ai Correct, there can never be more than 1.15B tokens in circulation, across all networks.

The way CMC reports the max supply is misleading.

@edhnoe @michaeljknowles Huh?

[Benjamin @benjaminarium]

@GeorgeTakei The guy who wants to [advance brain-computer interface technology and thereby cure debilitating neurological diseases] worries about [his real-time location being shared with potential assailants].

What’s your point, George?

[Benjamin @benjaminarium]

@fmanjoo @elonmusk You really don’t see the difference?

@WuBlockchain *suddenly* followed ?
