Gimme space nazi I mean officer uniforms with apple colors

Seriously. Look at the names of the colours.

As a fan of the once we were spacemen podcast I’m sorta glad they’re not tbh

Space gray and midnight black. Someone took their colour pallette off a Macbook order page

That’s actually… not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Bad yes, but once population growth reverses, rent will stop rising and basically everything else has increased less than incomes. Just need more old people to die, the young are already not reproducing much so that’s all that’s needed.

God forbid people have entertainment not designed to make them feel like they could be unemployed tomorrow.

Android is so fragmented as an ecosystem, any time you read about new feature X in Android version Y, assume it only applies to Pixel and AOSP based custom ROMs. Sometimes you’ll be wrong but generally it’s just pointless to assume other people have the same features as you unfortunately.

Reddit itself if doing their best to make sure I don’t vist even accidentally

If you want to be able to take off whatever day you want, surely you should also expect to be paid less because there has to be an extra employee on payroll that comes in with near-zero notice whenever you text “not coming in” in the morning?

Well yes, that’s the goal of all technological progress. Ya think we have assembly lines in factories for the fun of it? Or machines automating what used to be artisanal work? CNC machines making parts that used to be forged for example. Do you think the goal of the tractor is anything more than to get by with fewer workers on the fields?

Hell, go as far back as the invention of the printing press and the owners of these could stop relying on monks copying everything by hand.

You can avoid AI altogether or if you can find a genuinely good use case for it, you can potentially use it to start a company with fewer employees, meaning less starting capital needed.

At the end of the day your problem is with capitalism and the boomers who want to retire on even larger piles of cash, not the tool that could actually be used to reduce the need for capital if it was as good as the people selling it wasn’t you to think.

Also because people whine when things take too long to turn on but yes this too

That doesn’t get rid of the filing process, only simplifies it. IRS can’t know all the details of your finances. The 0 interest loan only goes that way if you overpaid. Some people underpay so IRS gave them a loan instead. Etc. Flat taxes are stupid too, rich people should pay more.

I don’t disagree on it being overly complex but you can’t get rid of the whole thing altogether. EVERY country has some sort of equivalent.

That’s not the issue though? Running out of workers to support the retired people is.

A few do that, but mostly old people just own the entire world and complain how nobody wants to work anymore. But surely if we kick out all the immigrants (the hardest workers), things will be better.

Corporate profits ARE old people’s retirement. Over 55s own 52% of the entire US economy. Boomers own 8 times more than billionaires. It’s similar in all western countries though perhaps not all are as bad. Billionaires are leeches but old people in general are the bigger drain on an aging society.

Replying from my other account because I’m too lazy to relog into sopuli on my phone but:

It’s not that simple. Take the US. Billionaires collectively own about 10 trillion. Boomers collectively over 80 trillion. You take every single cent away from billionaires and you barely make a difference in people’s ability to retire. I mean you should still do that. But money that isn’t backed by labor or goods moving around in the economy is kinda useless and you need people to produce said goods and provide services. All that billionaire moolah is mostly predicated on everyone holding all their stock because stock values fall apart when people sell. You could sell a few million worth of stock and cause that company’s value to go down a billion. It’s smokes and mirrors.

Other age groups don’t entire half the damn economy. Boomers are a class unto themselves.

Billionaires collectively own about 10 trillion in the US, Boomers collectively over 80 trillion.

Just going with the US because it’s the best known example. It’s not very dissimilar in other western countries but the US is the worst I believe.

Oh wow it’s the city

Yes I’m pretty sure her actress replied to that. At least in the screenshot that was posted here, no idea if it was real or not
