When rich kids fight next to poor kids you will have politicians think twice before they start a war.

Asap!

I think that sometimes huge props are used in movies or commercials. Maybe this was once used in a Malboro ad…

Don’t use your Chinese propaganda for that.

Chinese propaganda? China is the most capitalistic countries of em all…

It’s not capitalism, it’s greed and bribery.

The government not building infrastructure and rather hand the task over to the private sector is not a problem of capitalism?

I live in Germany and we have very bad internet compared to some eastern European country’s. That’s because the conservative party decided in the 80s that our internet would have to use copper instead of fiber optic cables.

20 years later we learned that decision was made because the private sector had huge interest in laying copper so they could sell cable TV.

The users of starlink just pay for the costs Elon had to bring those satellites up there and keep them running.

The global costs aka total costs on society will be payed by us all.

Isn’t capitalism great? 👍

Yes renewables need to come with storage.

Why go nuclear when renewable is so much cheaper, safer, future proof and less centralised?

Don’t get me wrong. Nuclear is better than coal and gas but it will not safe our way of life.

Just like the electric car is here to preserve the car industry not the planet, nuclear energy is still here to preserve the big energy players, not our environment.

I got premium because I have ADHS and need to listen to something when I want to sleep or do chores. With premium I can turn my phone screen off of let it run in the background.
