We bank online, all of our health records are online, we buy everything online, and all critical infrastructure is online. "There might be fraud" doesn't stop us from doing any of this.

This serves as my regular post around election time that we should be voting online.

Under capitalism, socialists are free to build socialism.

Under socialism, capitalists aren’t free to build anything.

Nothing stops a group of socialists pooling their money, forming a company, and splitting every wage and every pound of profit perfectly equally.... Or to donate all profit to the government.

It’s legal. It’s easy. Owning the means of production is as simple as setting up a company.

Marx wrote his manifesto before the invention of limited liability companies. Back then “seize the factory” meant seizing it from the handful of families who could afford one.

That argument expired the day anyone could start a company with limited liability, raise investment and hire who they want.

Socialists are free to lead by example and demonstrate their system works. They can out-recruit, out-motivate, out-build and out innovate based on their ideas if they like. It would prove the philosophy works. Capitalism will happily host their experiment.

The fact that nobody does this tells you a lot.

@justin_xyz Are they using it to find factories?

@carleygarner What they mean is "this is how I'll feel while Trump is in office"

@SenSanders Sir that is pure communism. It is the State stealing from its people. I don’t think you are a dumb man, but I can’t understand why you think this would be a good idea.

[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

Milton Friedman: “Keep your eye on one thing and one thing only: how much government is spending, because that’s the true tax.”

“If you’re not paying for it in the form of explicit taxes, you’re paying for it indirectly in the form of inflation or borrowing.”

My #1 reason for disengaging FSD is I want to go a slightly different route but there’s no good way to do it.

-Dropping a pin adds it as a stop.
-Grok will sort of do it but add a stop.

FSD disengagements are always navigational at this point.
