I feel intrigued. Is there anything from the series that surprised you?

🙏🙏🙏

I guess you intend to convey that the “idiot tax” is a metaphor for the misfortune people suffer from their own (perceived) mistakes.

Though I cannot control language, I am of the opinion that lotteries are an example of the “idiot tax”, both in metaphor and finance.

I have trouble making sense of your proposed world view. Your (well) organized comment gestures wildly at a bigger picture, implying there is something that one cannot observe by merely reading news. On its own that would be a straightforward idea, but you continue and claim that there is/are something/s governing the governments?
I request, please, more information.

While I understand your sentiment, it is unethical (which is confusing at times), to tax people because of their inability to make financially sound decisions. It is in the governments interests and duties to educate people to protect them from foreign and domestic bad actors.

What does a viable backup strategy look like in the modern day? How difficult is it to build and maintain it?

It is currently removed on my end.

I am unconvinced that people / corporations can be neatly sorted into categories “good” or “bad”.

I argue that “good” behaviour is entirely dependent on who is the judge. There are numerous edge cases, for example, “don’t kill people”: one could argue that a company that promotes abstinence is reinforcing sexual shame, which could lead to suicide. Then another can argue that they are promoting degrowth (through abstinence), or even voluntary extinction.

Lastly I want to remind that breaking the notion that sorting people into categories like gender and sex is a similarly bad idea.

I sincerely doubt that there is a way to determine which behaviours/beliefs are good or bad. I, for example, doubt that I will get a rating of “good” beyond 75% (educated guess).

many articles say that this didn’t happen.

I have never seen this before, I think. I wonder why every fibre of the recording has not been put in a meme. How did you discover this sketchy movie?

https://upvote.au/comment/949970 - I was referring to your instance. It is yours right? It does feel counterintuitive to use a closed source client to access an open-source network. If I may ask, how did you make the decision to use boost for lemmy?

It works now? I am going to read the lemmy.org guide and hopefully mend this. Thank you for replying, your instance has a comfortable ui.

Off topic: I see that there is “9 more replies” and I am unable to expand the thread… could someone please offer guidance?
