> also the fact that crime is down...

This is not a fact. What is a fact is that many police departments stopped reporting crimes, so there are fewer crimes being reported, not that there are fewer crimes being committed.

There are myriad reasons why, but stemming the upward trend of reported violence makes politicians look better and we all know how honest politicians are.

Breaking people raises the GDP. It wasn't that Biden was incapable, I mean besides the dementia his party and the media hid from its viewers, he was capable of fixing the problem for the less than billionaires.

The problem is believing the other party has an alternative. The problem is belief in the other. Who we believe the other is.

The other isn't anyone who doesn't have power over you. The problem is believing people who say someone who doesn't have power over you is the other.

There is only the powerless and the powerful.

The article is an indictment on hackernews itself. I'm sure that won't be well received here, because of what the article says, specifically: "Start by diversifying your information diet in ways that feel actively uncomfortable."

There is almost no diversity of thought here, simply due to the algorithm. The basis of acceptance is agreeing with the main ideology here.

When the algorithm of the platform is to banish those who disagree, tribal unity is the outcome.

The algorithm doesn't allow disagreement. The algorithm is wrong and part of the algorithm is to disallow commenting on the algorithm.

Pretty obvious how contaminated this site is with goog employees upvoting nonsense like this.

Wealth means you don't pay taxes. You don't pay fines. You don't go to jail.

otherwise, there's no value in wealth and no one would do the things necessary to get and keep it.

But we need people to want to get and keep it so we can incentivize people to work, otherwise, there's no reason to work.

Because there is no reason to work people just don't know that.

Laws don't protect the people, they protect wealth. It's easier to create wealth if you sacrifice life and limb. Look up how many people were buried inside the Hoover Dam -- alive.

The delusion of recompense for damages incurred is a placation of known risk. By that, I mean, if you think you can sue your employer for doing you dirty, then you feel safe to work there.

But it almost never works in the favor of the harmed unless it's a violation of a protected class and that's not really harmful.

What's harmful is dying or losing limbs or the ability to work and employers don't pay much for cases like that.

Get groped by your boss and you'll get millions tho.
