  • Using florisboard to type this, swype typing and autocorrect are coming in a future release. Seems like it requires a substantial refactoring. Currently gestures can be mapped to various functions like hiding the keyboard or uppercase.

  • the cartels hold massive influence over the govt, straight up killing their legislators in significant numbers at times.

  • I dont think taxing them will accomplish much. its also trivial for corporations to evade taxes, and all of the big ones do.

    I think the ease of raising money is part of the problem. Loads of tech companies way over-raise, and develop into bloated cancerous messes that have no way of ever realizing the growth that would have to exist to warrant the investment theyve been given.

    In the first place, the only way their investors even expect make anything back would be by reselling the stock, making it a ponzi asset.

    The entire system is just propped up by peoples 401ks being funneled to institutional investors. Its inherently unstable.

    Make social security good enough that middle class citizens dont need to invest, and the overinflated value of stocks plummets back to earth.

  • I think the people that built a company are better qualified to elect their ceo than the bulk populus. Gotta be democratically elected by workers imo, though a simple majority isnt always the best way.

  • Your questions at the end are what distinguish this from a co op.

    Im not saying i have an answer for every case, but a co op has strictly one vote per employee.

    I think itd be okay to build on top of that and let co-ops of more than 2 people set up some sort of charter or constitution that requires periodic re ratification.

    3 is the minimum amt of employees that makes sense imo.

  • Well, if you want to tax billionares out of existance u need a wealth tax, aka unrealized gains.

    taxing unrealized gains is just going to force individuals to sell their business to liquidate the cash to pay their taxes. Institutional traders will buy them up, so youre universally taking control out of the hands of people and giving it to banks and hedgefunds, which will just end up owning eachother.

    I dont think any billionares exist that made their money in some other way than selling stocks in a business they acquired at a lower value, aside from inheritance or divorce.

    Maybe you do implement a wealth tax anyway though, but you do it after abolishing stocks, just to catch the loopholes.

  • im definitely interested in not collapsing the world financial system, but its a tough problem to find a solution to.

    there are other assets besides stocks banks could own - loans would definitely be a much bigger part of the pie.

    As for starting a business, itd make sense to only hire on people you trust at first. Afterward you have to continue to show your worth not to investors but to employees.

    As an alternative to trust, you could cut your own business a loan, so that if youre ousted as long as it doesnt go tits up you still get a payout.

  • nah the ccp sucks, at least if youre not chinese.

    i think the ccp is necessarily tied to the chinese racial identity - they try very hard to promote unity between chinese people, its not in their interest to expand their borders and include outsiders in their democracy.

    what makes the usa special is that they dont have to be unified by the illusion of race. exploiting racial divides from within tarnishes that for short lived political gain.

    the current flavor of imperialism practiced by all of these is to keep other countries 'conquered' in their own borders and use capitalism and corruption to exploit them in perpetuity. the usa and europe and the saudis too.

    its naieve to think that if we were to stop , someone else wouldnt just swoop in and quietly take the reigns. as things are most of humanity will remain wage slaves or literal slaves forever, having any societal progress they make be wiped out through clandestine interference.

    and if we stop doing THAT, we risk some shitty dictatorship developing advanced weapons like nukes or bioweapons, or conquering their neighbors themselves.

    whatever global sphere can somehow create a better social order thats capable of scaling to include all of humanity without having any of them be forced into some form of slavery, SHOULD conquer the world.

    Right now, nobodys really close to that. but it should be the goal. and if anyone can "win" even by the current shitty practice of imperialism, at least it means war can be avoided down the road.

  • i just think its rational to lie and cheat and kiss ass and bribe to actually defend encryption and digital privacy rather than try and win brownie points from twitter by #resist 'ing online.

    i mean lord knows the orange man is easy to trick and bribe. 400m got qatar in the door and then convinced him to abandon israel lol. even less to screw over ukraine.
