To be fair Boomers didn't create this economic policy. Their parents elected Nixon, who broke the Bretton Woods agreement "temporarily", and then we adopted Keynesian macroeconomic policy afterwards to justify it.

Inb4 someone regurgitates a defense of this "boomer" policy and proves that it's not just them and never was. It's always been the rich and the their loyal servants.

Closed borders are a hurdle to harmony!

So you'd like to overhaul money in a way that's not controlled by centralized power? I've got good news for you!

How about harmony between people first?

I honestly don't know if you're using this as an example of something you think is realistic, or more difficult than open borders.

You don't need any argument in no-fault divorce. IMHO that's how it should work everywhere; it's not like you need to prove your case in court to get married in the first place.

We should only support neurodivergent learning styles. The neurotypical kids can just conform or end up in prison; they're not worth the tax dollars to accommodate, sorry. It's simply not cost effective, we'll have to leave them behind.

My controversial opinion: once you drive drunk once, you should lose your license permanently.

You're an adult. You should know better. You probably do know better. If you did it this time, then you'll do it again. More people will be killed by you driving than will be hurt by you taking the bus forevermore. I do not care how inconvenient it is for you, you can restructure your whole life around never driving again so somebody else doesn't have to restructure their whole life around a crippling disability or loss of a loved one.

These are dangerously selfish people and we shouldn't feel sorry for them.

Can't have any of that western feminism.

It helps that it's the real American flag too. The one congress voted on. Not the fucking traitor flags with weird stripes just for fascists.

They'll figure it out when you're not angry at all the stuff going on.

It is a position not to be controverted that the earth, in its natural, uncultivated state was, and ever would have continued to he, the common property of the human race. In that state every man would have been born to property. He would have been a joint life proprietor with the rest in the property of the soil, and in all its natural productions, vegetable and animal.

But the earth in its natural state, as before said, is capable of supporting but a small number of inhabitants compared with what it is capable of doing in a cultivated state. And as it is impossible to separate the improvement made by cultivation from the earth itself, upon which that improvement is made, the idea of landed property arose from that inseparable connection; but it is nevertheless true, that it is the value of the improvement, only, and not the earth itself, that is individual property.

Every proprietor, therefore, of cultivated lands, owes to the community a ground-rent (for I know of no better term to express the idea) for the land which he holds; and it is from this ground-rent that the fund proposed in this plan is to issue.

— Thomas Paine, Agrarian Justice

Digital artists and illustrators are abandoning Elon Musk’s blogging platform X (formerly Twitter) over the introduction of a new controversial image-editing feature powered by artificial intelligence (AI). According to reports, the creators claimed that the new tool could be used to modify others’ works without their consent.

One such popular creator championing the boycott is Mu-jik Park, the renowned South Korean artist known by the pen name Boichi. Boichi is the creator of the hit manga series Dr Stone and Sun-Ken Rock.

My understanding of federation is that it's like email. If one server is misbehaving, then they get defederated.

So how come email spam still exists - why don't spammer domains get defederated? It seems like we've got the worst of both worlds, where it's hard to get your emails relayed when you run a small email server, and easy to get them relayed if you're a spammer.

Is there anything about Lemmy's architecture that will prevent this problem?
