They want you to need them. If you don't need them, you might be thinking independently. You might not go along with it when they want you to do unreasonable things.

I'm confused, did it SMASH or did it crawl?

The problem is that they are a cartel, so we get in a place where a group of private businesses can dictate who can make money.

I think it's a great idea in theory that as a payment processor you can have influence on social changes. I think businesses should have clear ethics so that I can support those that match my own. If there were 50 processors to choose from that all had niches and different ethics, fine. But we have in reality one processor with finger puppets on asking us which puppet we like best.

But then it won't matter. The problem is that this looks like ass and didn't need to be made with an AI image generator. It could easily be made with any free word processor and a picture of an embryo found anywhere.

Sounds like a strange dream I would have then wake up drooling on my pillow like a great dane.

The metric of per kg of product, while entirely fair, can be a bit misleading when it comes to making high impact decisions in your life. The switching to tea example is a good one to criticize because on this chart coffee is quite high up there, but I consume only 15g of coffee a day, compared to probably close to a kg of meat, egg, and dairy. Eliminating coffee would not be a high climate impact decision.

Humans work off of incentives and risk. If there's essentially no consequences for pickpocketting and the incentive is quite high with expensive phones and cash potential, the balance is way out of proportion. A good chance of getting your shit rocked brings it a bit more in line.

The possibility of getting shot or stabbed is way out of proportion the other way. That's the problem with America. You can't even give someone the bird when they nearly crash into you without fear of getting shot.

From your own source on "true" unemployment, it's the lowest it has been since they started calculating it. It peaked in 09 at 35% and again in COVID, but all through the early 00s it was between 28% and 30%.

You can't use that number as evidence we "already crashed", because as we've seen in other actual crashes it spikes up to 35%.

What about a masters in engineering and a bachelor's in chemistry makes him even double more qualified? Yeah, maybe if he had a doctorate you could make that argument, but you could easily learn and do as much science work in 6 years outside of a university than you would in a BS and MS program at a university.
