The original commenters point was to use this as an example for why Universal Basic Income is a good idea and my point is that without capitalism this doesn't work. You couldn't reproduce this to cover the cost of UBI for everyone. It only works because it lives off of a very profitable industry and services a small group of people.

Bitcoin dropped in value, but is still very high and actively traded. It's hardly in the dust bin.

Teams would be very offended if it could afford the spare CPU cycles to read your post.

Agreed totally, precedence makes all the difference here. If there's two people had an established history of agreeing to deals via text with one word answers, it's hard to deny.

This sucks, but malicious compliance has also always been people's head cannon fantasies. There's zero chance that most of this situations went down as claimed. Bearing that in mind and with there being Jo karma to white on Lemmy, does it matter if they're reposts?

The only real reason for every car on the road not to go hybrid is cost and cost isn't a factor for Lamborghini. Hybrid drivetrains are the perfect answer to the Ice's gross inefficiencies when at idle or lower speeds.

The USPS would be profitable if they didn't have to beg Congress to raise the price of stamps and weren't forced to fund pension liabilities for people who won't retire for 30 years.

Liftoff is going well enough for me as well. Still miss RiF.

"This is why people on the left are so exasperated with centrists"

Are you suggesting that Macron is a centrist? Because I don't follow.

We've been exploring a thankless solution, but the company that quited us said it isn't a good idea in our area because the ground freezes in the winter. We don't live in a super cold area, but it does snow a few times a year and it can get into the single digits of degrees Fahrenheit.

I believe this is probably what will happen if this ever becomes a big issue. GDPR was never intended to be navigable for anything except giant proprietary blob tech companies.

This isn't really malicious compliance. This is the very foundation of the point made by the Supreme Court. You should be able to refuse service to anyone for any reason. Anything less than that is the government engaging in violence to force you to work.
