I went to check the prices here in Iceland for a similar order to find to my complete surprise that your order was slightly more expensive, when I expected it to be half the local price. That’s crazy.

Anyone know the artist?
Man I wish people had commented and linked their sources. A bunch of yes and no’s is not really helpful.

We don’t need the media, we have the internet.
It’s due for an update (I’ve gotten some grief about the block chain part and also that I used an LLM for some formatting initially) but…
I believe the solution is to transition to a new system, which they cannot tamper with and can’t control.

I keep posting the same comment. These people are robbing all of us of our prosperity. We could all be living in utopia…
Thieves!
Just to back you up:

“The most common argument used in defense of mass surveillance is ‘If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear’. Try saying that to women in the US states where abortion has suddenly become illegal. Say it to investigative journalists in authoritarian countries. Saying ‘I have nothing to hide’ means you stop caring about anyone fighting for their freedom. And one day, you might be one of them.”
I actually downloaded the theatrical cuts to watch with kids…
They’d be adults by the time we finished the extended ones.
Contracts are not something you are born into, raised to fit it’s clauses, and unable to opt out of.
Society is one thing, nation states another. They’re relatively new and not a great system IMO. I believe we can do better.
Decentralized autonomus scalable communities would be better.
To quote my own comment;
“I like to think of economies (and nation-states) as loosely coupled monolithic legacy systems.
Due to poor developer practices and lack of architecture, parts of these systems have poorly written functions that hog 99% of the resources. You would not try to patch or update such a poorly designed system because there is no way to correct all the myriad built-up legacy back-doors, bugs, privilege escalation vulnerabilities, etc. The systems have been completely corrupted and cannot be recovered. We would like to avoid shutting off the hardware on which these systems run (the human race).
So we slowly drain away processing power to power up a new properly designed scalable system.
This new system is intentionally designed to avoid all pitfalls of the old system. It purposefully avoids attempts at privilege escalation, resource hogging, and doesn’t allow bad coding practices. Through scalable architecture, we implement a modular and resilient system that is decentralized and federated. Better yet, this new system is written in a language that is incompatible with the old system; they can only interface via APIs specifically designed to minimally interface with the old and unsafe system.
Of course, you’re right, it’s not independent or tamper-proof, but we can sure as shit try to make it that way!”

And nation states rob their subjects of this option.
Edit: can someone explain their downvote to me? I’m not advocating violence, only saying that nation states hold a monopoly on it.
Re-reading my comment, I kind of maybe was a bit agressive when I wrote it. Fuck it, take the power back.

Iceland serves the local piss for around 10 usd / 9.5 eur. Probably double that for something better.
Yeah a social media platform full of debuggers is gonna complain about that 😅
Well what you’re calling left wing psudoscience is an article by Economic Policy Institute: https://www.epi.org/publication/charting-wage-stagnation/
They explain their methodology and data sources in meticilous detail, even more so in their report on how they do; https://www.epi.org/publication/understanding-the-historic-divergence-between-productivity-and-a-typical-workers-pay-why-it-matters-and-why-its-real/
