Investors would lose their investment. I don't have any investments. Some jobs would maybe return, but the owner class would ensure they don't pay a living wage. It wouldn't help or hurt regular people all that much.
Just chiming in as someone not in a big city, I'm pretty sure we're more than 2% of Lemmy. But I have lived in a few big cities, and living outside the city is way worse. I have to drive to do anything. There are some free parks I can drive to, but that's about it. You can't even go for a walk or a bike ride without driving somewhere first. There is no old town to walk around.
Also for example, if you live in a big city you pay more for housing but jobs pay higher and you actually have the option of not owning a car. So you don't have to sit in traffic and pay insane parking prices everywhere you go. My one complaint about the city is that food prices are crazy.
Yeah they're illegal on the roads where I am, and there are no sidewalks or bike lanes. Also, we get some terrible weather in the winter, it would be really difficult to use year-round.
My daughter and her bestie call each other bro all the time. I refer to them as you guys all the time too. Some language that sounds gendered is in fact, not. I'm not ever trying to be a dick, but I refuse to walk on eggshells either.
My brother has a statistics degree in addition to CS. He's working for a global medical research company processing all of the data generated by their research, and also helps with their billing software, all of the medical samples have to be stored and there are millions of samples that are billed monthly. He makes a little under $200k.
There may have been thousands of guns there on Jan 6th but they only found like three in the hands of civilians. You'll know if Americans get riled up enough to attack the capital.
And no, 70% of the population didn't vote for him, he got just under 50% of the votes, but that was only about 23% of Americans.
Finally, the left and the right find one thing they can agree upon. Columbia (the sportswear company) just sent me an ad promoting a Disney event and a Disney line of clothing and I sent a reply that probably no one will see, but I told them they can fuck off with that.
This is true. Also there are zero mainstream media outlets that are not propaganda of some kind or another at this point. When you intentionally read all kinds of biased news it becomes more and more obvious.
Greenland isn't in the EU though.
