So the act of commerce is ethical but the source of the commerce might not be? I feel like I’m being really obtuse here and I apologize but goods and services could be stolen or forced and rarely is legislation enough. But I can totally see two unknowing people engaging in trade at their free will for items they don’t know are stolen.
I feel so pessimistic about the world at times that I find materialism and ethics just don’t mix.
I think you’re making a discussion into a spit fight for the sake of feeling better about yourself. I ask because I want to understand and for no other reason.
It’s already been done with lighting and building. It used to be that you could only work when the seasons, weather, and sun allowed.
Why do you say commerce is specifically ethical? I’ve always considered it more neutral and up to implementation.

Wasn’t expecting to see Henry Kissinger in there. Rest in piss.
I am so ready for Tesla to be unionized in the US.
Tesla rolling in his grave as a wealthy businessman buys in and claims credit for the work of engineers while branding it with his name.
The fluctuation in Simplified Chinese use makes me pretty suspect here. It was nearly cut in half in one month and suddenly 20% of Steam’s users that used Simplified Chinese just didn’t exist.
Honestly that big of a fluctuation in regional selection tells me none of the other data means anything.
That’s what I am saying, this is nothing and we shouldn’t be celebrating nothing. It’s not like they fixed the Trump admin’s tax changes, it’s not like they’re taxing the wealthy more.
To do more than nothing takes an act of Congress and they’re not doing anything, they’re doing nothing. This is the legal equivalent of 4th grade graduation ceremonies.
The IRS can audit the ultra wealthy exclusively and it still wont really change how fucked taxes are in the US. The tax brackets are a fucking wreck, capital gains is a joke, and estate tax is basically non existent.
It’s like cheering for Biden for really sticking it to those rich folk when he’s just checking their couch for quarters.
In 2021 4,752 children had gun related deaths. That’s 13 a day.
I’m sorry you’ve found it worse. Reddit was always incredibly toxic for me and even smaller communities were terrible.
It’s weird how frequently people disagree but talk to eachother with respect on lemmy.
I just feel bad for the poor belt buckle. Look at him… trying his best.
When you have your English paper peer reviewed and nobody says anything bad about it to fix.
When you write a generally accepted opinion online and have to defend your position like it’s a master’s thesis.
Excuse me but I’m entitled to a sliver of your spongy grey matter because I spent money. /s
I hope you feel better soon
