We would all have civic duties also. Years of them. #MissKitty doesn't play. I am more #capitalist than the so-called capitalists that have been on the #grift ever since. Pure capitalist is my #solution. No #subsidies. The state controls the market as it should. Biggest customer. Boop boop 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

#Capitalist criticisms of #Communism are always bred from capitalist realism. And the irony is that they almost always are an indictment on capitalism, not communism.

Who "slapped" them with this bill? The government? if so, that's hardly in accord with a free market, and thus in direct violation of capitalism.

When the government does something, that is what the #socialist supports. #Socialism says "the government knows better than we do; it should be in control, at the point of a gun". The #capitalist says "individuals know best what is good for them; they should decide, and both profits and losses from those decisions should be theirs".

In many ways, the words of the evil AI-organic hybrid mastermind character from the video game #MassEffect2 #Harbinger ring true for many artefacts of code and culture in late stage #capitalist societies: "Take what is useful, destroy the rest"; the irony being that this seems to be their modus operandi now. It is certainly the most psychologically healthy approach I have found to dealing with #LLMs and their output. But it is not how one collaborates with fellow humans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaRdcVYTjRw

One way of looking at this is that #China, a Terrestrial nation within our shared #atmosphere, has spent $5Bn on maintaining that atmosphere by providing #solarpanels to the world. And has infrastructure.

The #FT sees it in a more #capitalist way Solar panel prices rise after China clampdown on producer competition https://share.google/FFXVaRu7aLSw4IBet

Well, they would, wouldn't they.

Meanwhile the #USA has spent a great deal more on fucking up the world. Not a good look.

Rebound may spell end of the era of ever-cheaper cells after a price war that stoked huge losses among biggest producers

#MissKitty doesn't talk about free. In fact, Miss Kitty is most capitalistic #capitalist that speaks out loud that she can find. I demand those that are seeking to make a profit working with the public do so on their own risk and not ours. A #subsidy is our risk. A #loan is their risk. #Capitalism.

The #capitalist notion of "individualism" is actually isolation and victim blaming. It's shifting responsibility from the rich, privileged and powerful to the impoverished and marginalized. It's the slavish philosophy of "shut up and work harder". It's cruelty masquerading as liberty.

I'll keep holding you up here if you want to keep dumping dumb stuff in here. No problem if you think it's going to help your flow. I like to make the argument against #ignorance. So you're useful. If you were a real #capitalist, you would admit that all markets have #fluctuation. Bye-bye. 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
