Incase this comment gets deleted, the writer suggests Martin Caparros Hunger: the oldest problem. Great book, wish op was kinder to ensure the reccomendation stays. Not a clue how this comm is on that though

Thats just a weird and uninformered though common opinion. Sure, if Elon was in charge he’d just start handing out food and get angry when that doesn’t work. That’s not a solution though in any way. No hate to you this opinion just annoys me

Solving world hunger means expanding food infrustructure. More growing (locally), more distribution, and finally in places moving populations if we want 100% coverage. These are perminent solutions (with maintanance cost, though that would be offset by the economic benefits indirectly). This doesn’t increase food prices, it decreases them.

No though, overpopulation on scale isn’t going to happen. Food deaths are not the most common form of deaths in these countries and population booms only happen at scale after industrialization. Not after food scarcity is removed.

Lastly, one child policies are stupid. Populations should boom post industrialization. They even out in time and if you fuck with that natural system you get massive issues. Any one child policy will cause incredibly fucked up situations while it’s in effect, limit the growth of industry, cause the populance to grow angrier, and long term create unstable generations with wildly disfunctional population statistics. Too many males, disolution of smaller minority groups, and sociatal trauma from the killing of unwanted offspring.

This creates a society where birth characteristics are over-valued.

Lastly, this creates a “bump” generation without the economic boon that comes from the population boost.

One kid policies don’t work, damage society in lasting ways, and the problem they purport to solve isn’t nearly as big as those created by the act.

No, feeding the world would not cause some great disaster, even if its done in a shit way.

Populations wouldn’t explode just from food security, the people would have quite a bit of time before infrustructure degrades far enough to be irreparable.

Boy does he have a tooter

Let’s not do that. That’s kinda creepy. I really hope we don’t get those e-stalker communities that follow random posters

Yes!

Yeah I like the sentiment, but no Chernobyl absolutely did not have such a small effect. Minimizing these things, especially when so well known, just fucks up our position. Reality denial isn’t an effective way to advocate or to make people aware of the horrors of capitalism. All it does is train the average person to assume left wing points are childishly exaggerated. This is, in part, why capitalist propaganda is so easy.

Here we just accept the official number and ignore all other effects. If we took the same path with the Bhopaal disaster, we’d have to ignore all the non-fatal poisonings and believe uncritically the official instant death count of just over 2,200 ignoring any deaths to come afterwards. That would be stupid

Chernobyl was a terrible disaster that harmed an absurd amount of people, de-homed thousands, and damaged the ecosystem of the wider area. Its effects and danger are still present to this day and could have been much, much worse if not for the work of those who fixed the massive fuck up.

Both the Bhopal disaster and the Chernobyl disaster were bred by incompetence, corruption, and a general failure to care for the worker and the general population.

Now, if we were to keep a leaderboard, capitalism wins by many miles in the awfulness department. That’s the note we should take, that’s the drum we should beat.

It wasn’t socialism that caused Chernobyl. If the workers, those who built and conceived of the soviet nuclear reactors, were in charge they would have put in the safe guards they advocated for well before this disaster. They were not allowed to and the consequence was a meltdown. That’s why we should give the power to the worker. The Bhopal disaster? Capital was the determiner for who had power, and those in power caused the disaster. It was the fault of capitalism as capitalism was allowed to build Union Carbide with little in its way.

Edit: Changed Russian to soviet, re-aranged paragraphs, added clarity

Run this command in your terminal. Works on Linux, but will need to be modified on windows

$ curl -s https://tesseract.dubvee.org/tesseract/api/system/policy | base64 -d | gunzip > policy.json

Creates the list and puts it into a file called policy. One of the largest issues is that the list isn’t even in the repository. Its gotten while the we app is running, and not readily available

The beard is for me, not them

Alternative idea if you want a more capitalist solution than government owned and distributed housing would be mandated rent to own. End of year, current owner tallies up all expenses, anything over is used to purchase equity at market rate. You either sell the equity when you move, or eventually own the place. No landlords just a delayed title transfer.

Of course this wouldn’t solve the fact that housing is a human right that all should have access to but any capitalist solution requires a “loser” to suffer some form of horror

No, up to 100 Celsius which is the standard heat warning point for these sorts of devices, and laptops.

So if the limit was 80c they increased it by 20, to 100c.

Thank you for your service o7

It’s a specific pair which makes this funnier if you know who the “day vinki” twins are. There is something special about that

Its like being outdone by a famous fool. Like if Mr. Bean built a better rocket on accident and now you, the rocket engineer, are upset this idiot did better than you.

Nah, you’re wrong. I’ve talked to many who hold that opinion and think it’s actually morally bad to tip because if you don’t tip, the workers will just quit thus forcing the employer to increase wages. On Lemmy too. It’s not an uncommon opinion.
