I wasn’t equating slavery with capitalism here. I was comparing your reasoning with the reasoning of those who argued for the status quo during times of slavery.

“Slavery is one of the worst forms of economic oppression. Except, of course, all other times we tried running the economy without slavery.”
It’s free after you pay for it.
It’s a one-time fee that you pay monthly. One-time in that you pay one time a month.

That’s very fair, and tbh a perspective I wasn’t viewing from when I made my sarcastic comment.
The worst thing that could happen is for the fediverse to turn into a reddit clone…we certainly don’t want that.
Discussion is required to change views and inform. So I now think my original was unwarranted, sorry about that.
Ah, very fair. Was not aware of this! That would certainly skew the voting metrics to some degree.
Oh I’m not saying you can’t comment and discuss. That’s the whole point right?
But you can also just downvote the post if ya don’t like it and move on? I just see some posts of stuff where it’ll have a solid ratio of upvotes to downvotes, but then see people comment “why are we posting [x]?” Because it has more upvotes than downvotes? If you don’t like it and want to send a message, then downvote? I think discussing is a waste of time.
Although I guess I’m part of the problem by continuing the discussion lol
Missing: I drink a lot of pee
pssst, that’s what the downvote button if for 😉
Wait long enough and you get the real certificate
That’s why surveillance has been, is, and will always be an issue and something to be concerned about.
All it takes is a concentrated power system to abuse that power and use surveillance to their benefit.
Could you imagine if the Nazi’s had the amount of data, information, and surveillance capabilities of modern day US?
Why doesn’t the FDA require companies to put a range instead of an exact number then?
Yall can buy the good looking fruit. I’ll take my ugly ass pineapples for a discount any day.

Everything alright in there??
Yes, and they know that. Manufacturing doesn’t spring up over night. As soon as alternative energy starts planning to build domestically, they can instantly reverse the tariffs thus reducing domestic demand.
This is all a play to protect one of the administration’s biggest constituents; oil and gas.
I’m determined to ensure the higher prices pass to consumers, thereby making alternative energy more expensive and thus less in demand, thus raising demand for oil and gas
Is that what you meant Biden?
I think it’s flawed to say that something is moral if it is legal and vice versa.

Lol if one of my friends posted this I’d think it was hilarious as they’d obviously be joking. But you certainly know your cousin better than I do.
