  • The global economy is so broken that there's barely financial incentive to become a doctor anymore. The system only sustained for so long because we outsourced medical training to places like South Africa.

  • adored the stories they were telling

    I think that's part of the appeal of Star Trek. Few other shows put as much effort into telling a complete story in 1 hour.

    Personally Holodeck episodes are my favorite. No other show does that. And they go so over the top with the costumes its brilliant.

  • And yet youtube is still the dominant video host.

    You're missing the point entirely. If instead of luxuries you look through the lens of necessities perhaps you'll see.

    Like replace cookies with bread and try tell me people will choose to starve first. Like obviously not.

    You're just too priveledged to realize what I'm describing has been going on in developing countries for decades.

    Ask a ford employee 30 years ago about robot automation. Like this is not a new thing in the 2020s. The rich have a playbook for this.

    1. The rich fully intend to replace workers with slaves one way or another.
    2. AI robots can be utter shit and they will still be leaps and bounds more efficient than the task specific automation that has been replacing human workers for decades.
    3. As long as the rich maintain their monopolies quality of service can drop indefinitely. Doesn't matter if AI robots suck ass when no human employed company can compete and every other option is just as ass.

  • Building codes have changed a lot in the past 50ish years. Besides being cheaper to buy, houses also required more easily attainable tools/skills to build/maintain.

  • Also individual owners have become a liability for the insurance entities that guarantee the mortgages for the banks. Wages:COL has gotten so bad that it's basically the sub-prime mortgage crisis but for people who actually paid down payments.

    They built the system on property going up forever with only a small % defaulting. So they've gotta keep enough of us out of the market to ensure they can keep cashflowing their ponzi scheme.

  • Land ownership is inherently a violent act in that paper agreements are a surrogate for establishing territorial dominance. End of the day land ownership is enforced though force.

    Renting objects on the other hand is rooted in mutual benefit. Tool creation and use being separate skills creates a natural opportunity for cooperation.

  • That's such a irrelevant/misleading statistic. People aren't griping the incorporation vs soul proprietorship of landlords. More than half of those individual landlords own multiple rental properties. Thousands of them own enough rental properties (4+ in Canada) to require a property management license, that many do not possess.

    Individual landlords are the ones buying up detached homes, hoarding them as extortionate rentals until selling them as land assemblies so that corporations can build overpriced breadboxes.

    If you live somewhere without strong tenancy laws than corporations basically get a free pass on colluding to drive up local rental pricing. End of the day they own the apartments around universities and hospitals where demand will meet any price.

  • The expansion of space actually stretches light out into longer wavelengths called red shift.

    So light doesn't ignore it.

  • Conducting foreign relations when its not your job is reasonable grounds for them to look into the content of those meetings.

  • I agree but our criminal code is specific in that nobody can be convicted of an offense committed outside of Canada unless specifically stipulated by the law.

    So like we would have to amend our laws in the legislature to specifically allow for criminal convictions of the things Musk did.

    IMO the ICC our USA would be more appropriate entities to pursue the criminal justice musk very much deserves.
