you are an economist. eliminating zoning laws and HOAs would make construction of houses cheaper, saving lots of people lots of money, but the construction companies would be less profitable. do you argue in favor of unnecessarily complex building codes sothat the company stays profitable at the expense of the population?

literally cooking there
but it’s true. what do we care about other people’s decisions as long as they don’t affect us
eh, money is supposed to represent resources, and saying that money = hours, is to say that there is no other resource besides human labor. there is land usage, plant growth, mineralic reservoirs, etc.
ah shit i have the perfect meme for this but i can’t find it.
it’s a boot (microsoft, apple, etc.) and the snake exclaims “at least it isn’t the goberment”
how do you know that the books aren’t mind-washing by the CIA?
you can stop in many models by letting the hot air out (partially)
yeah but what if it isn’t called “hours”?

28·3 months agoI think this may have just happened to you OP. That’s not a common way to see children.
i don’t see it that way, but a lot of people in the US seem to, at least from what i can see. see my other comment for explanation.

212·3 months agoTons of people have kids, tons of people want kids. The idea of ‘you’re a child’ being the worst insult is baffling, honestly.
yeah tbf i’ve never set foot in the US; i get this notion from social media, movies, books, etc.
wait let me record a 10 second sequence of a movie.

(the video should have audio, in case it doesn’t play, a download should do it)
anyways the woman says “have you ever considered that you’re wrong? hah, of course not! you’re a child.” upon which the other person freaks out. which i have seen sooo many times in pieces of media (especially from the US)
anyways, meanwhile, children can actually be really reflective and understand a lot, also when they’ve made mistakes or hurt someone. so saying that somebody is a “child” when they can’t reflect on themselves, in my opinion, is inaccurate.

3·3 months agomy guess is because it’s a vulnerable area (lots of soft tissue directly behind it) and so it makes sense that your body says “ugh, no” when something touches it.
this is a lot like US politics but instead of the mayor, it’s the people.








good. the sooner they go, the better
