I’m not sure how that’s true since we wouldn’t be here in the first place without capitalism. Its the only known system efficient enough to get this far, that we know of anyway.

Nevertheless, going back to my original point… Moving on to better technology only works once its feasible enough, no matter what the economic system is. Ideology doesn’t negate the reality of resources.

I think it can get much worse.

Hopefully AI means more investment into renewables, as well.

That’s… that’s how change… works?

Now you’re just arguing with an example I brought up on the fly, not my actual point. Well, whatever…

but has it happened yet? if yes, then why are we still using american stuff? i just don’t buy it.

here is an example: uber was very popular in europe, but they started twisting the knife with prices. alternatives popped up, uber is not so popular anymore.

I’d imagine american cloud services are actually cheaper (because they are so scaled up or whatever), that’s why everyone uses them. So I don’t know where the argument comes from that they are expensive.

If its so expensive, why doesn’t European companies make more competitive alternatives?

Fair enough… I meant more in the lines of Europe appeasing (germany in particular) appeasing Russia, but then again, Russia is not directly at war with Germany.

I don’t think the issue is growth related, I think it’s rather about more and more money going to the top 1%. And that issue is accelerated in USA due to badly regulated corporate capitalism. Greedy shareholders and short time thinking are signs of that, because they keep getting away with it. Looks like this isn’t going to change until there is a massive crash…

well he does seem to admire Putin after all

I don’t think he works for Putin (or well, who knows), but I think he admires fascism and fascists put ideology above economy, so that tracks.

Nations that trade extensively with each other don’t go to war.

To be fair, that didn’t work with Russia.

I mean… who knows what he wants, maybe he wants to crash the economy.

No just send them orban and his cronies

Its not that everyone doesn’t know about it, its that the obvious needs to be stated by politicians and appropriate actions taken.

Oh yeah, I didn’t notice the thread is deeper. I meant lumony, the person I originally responded to. They called Marvel art (which is fine) and called it useless slop or something like that… So clearly we are talking about art as something that needs to have quality. I responded to them that their mistake is thinking that its art (in the sense that it needs to have quality). It’s just entertainment, not all movies need to be citizen Kane or whatever. Is it more clear now or…?

I’m referring to the original poster.

Sure, but that wording becomes detrimental when you only expect high-quality things because that’s what you associate with art, forgetting that there is also entertainment that doesn’t need to be high quality necessarily.

These penguins managed to put USA into trade deficit with the island somehow?
