With capitalism and the adoption of a free market economy. Less on the democratic oversight

Accepting the ambiguity you point out, saying that capitalism inherently promotes poverty is a stretch. It’s demonstrably the spread of liberal free market capitalism over the last 50 years has been the key to dragging more people out of poverty than ever before. It sure ain’t perfect, and needs to be moderated with appropriate democratic oversight and regulation, but it’s worked better than anything else we’ve tried

Also poverty existed long before capitalism

The point about centaurs is good too

I’m glad you’re enjoying it 😁

Agreed, we should always expect such coherence and conciseness from our leaders. Up your game Starmer!

That’s the one. Coherent, concise and on point. A very nice change. Why we would ever accept anything less from our leaders is beyond me

Glad it’s not just me. I kinda hoped that someone trying to make a positive change by doing what they can with what they’ve got would get more support - but no, just performative nonsense

Sure - if not this then something else. That’s a problem for the people of the United States to solve (no one else can). She’s doing the best she can with the tools she has to advance her vision for Venezuela, which seems better than anyone else’s..

I’m used to browsing the web on Firefox with ad blocking - works great. My experience of Safari with AdBlock Pro is much less good - many websites block access unless it’s disabled. I also used to have good results with Firefox on Android. Does anyone have better suggestions? Many thanks!

 

This annoyed me. You can boost pack all the way from your New Atlantis penthouse balcony to the New Atlantis star port. Off a skyscraper, travel for miles. It’s fantastic - everyone should do it. Really gives a sense of the scale and capability of the world and game. It does that better than any actual quest or cutscene… bit of a missed opportunity if you ask me.
