    I actually think universal basic income is a very flawed idea from a leftist perspective.

    It is effectively a capitalist compromise that still puts all of the asset holders in immense positions of power. The only difference now is they effectively are governmentally enforced as those positions of power. It will make the wealth disparity exponentially worse.

    The answer to our wealth disparity is to put power in the hands of the average person.







  • Listen, I’m from the rural south. We do basically everything ourselves. If a toilet needs repaired, we fix it. If the road needs to be graveled in in the potholes, we fix it.

    Nobody is asking to do no work. They’re just tired of doing work at the behest of the capitalist class. The problem is that work is both an adjective and a noun. Nobody likes the noun.








  • That’s the thing about Linux though, is it really depends on the user. The average user doesn’t need any more than a web browser and maybe some Office suite. Chrome OS has shown this. Linux is actually great for these users.

    It’s the semi-power user, the one that has to do a lot of work, but doesn’t know much about computers that Linux seems to trip up.

    It’s like that wojack bell curve meme.
