I am one of the laptop class.
I know I don't work hard because I was in the military and worked construction.

All IT jobs are full of smarter lazy people by design.

I have done rack and stack at datacenters and that sucked.

I have an idea I would like to call a Freedom Test. The idea of this test is to determine if you really value freedom or if you value something else. Many people will claim they are about freedom, but often they either are conflating freedom with another value that is not actually freedom.

One example of the misuse of this term is by those who call for "free healthcare." Whether or not you value this, it is not freedom, but a provision.

in reply to houseoftolstoy

The Freedom Test is helpful in determining who is for freedom and who is for "freedom."

The test is this: if we remove government entities from the equation, are you able to get what you want? The answer should be quite clear if you think about this.

For those who want their freedom to have firearms, the government being out of the way would not change your ability to have firearms. But if your "freedom" is paid for by the government ("free" healtchare), then you do not have true freedom.

in reply to houseoftolstoy

Not everyone is going to be all about genuine freedom. And that is not necessarily a bad thing. But people should not be so quick to proclaim that they are about freedom if they require others to be forced into some action in order to attain their "freedom."

I would not consider myself anarcho-capitalist, but they at least are those that would be genuinely about freedom. But considering we have yet to have an ancap example in the world, that might show that 100% freedom might not be possible.

in reply to houseoftolstoy

We can apply this test in multiple facets too. For example, gay marriage.

Whether you like it or not, if there are no restrictions to marriage, then gay marriage would be possible under the value of freedom.

The problems start coming in when the state is involved, such as lawsuits for gay wedding cakes or forcing others to acknowledge their marriage as valid. Many gays fail the freedom test the moment they are confronted with the fact that others do not want to participate.

@Zeb @HouseofTolstoy

In anarcho capitalism you can buy a marriage contract and the marriage contract would be enforced by a privatised rights enforcement agency

If there is a dispute between multiple rights enforcement agencies then it can be settled by arbitration

All without government

See the machinery of fteedom posted by bitbutter on youtube to learn about the arbitration process in law without government

Hmm, have any countries start to think about an LA Olympics boycott yet? Will we be seeing a complete choreographed opening ceremony celebrating Dear Leader? Will they be renditioning and probing the gender of athletes at the events, or at the border?

@TboneShuffle I live in rural Tennesse, and rarely would you ever see an East Indian around here. Maybe if you went to Costco in Franklin, a few. That was 10 years ago. The last few weekends it's been an Indian love fest at the local state park, I mean like where the F did all these Indians come from? Holy shit, man. That Costco, it's seriously overrun. Must be the medical tech boom in amd around Nashville, Larry Ellison, the Goog and others. Man it's effed and quick.
in reply to TboneShuffle

@TboneShuffle QOL definitely not improving to boot. Gee I wonder why? These people for the most part don't build and improve society, they're only takers and silo themselves in their imported culture that they install inside other countries and expand, not to assimilate, but to import family members, breed and shove everyone who is native, out. Bring and force foreign culture into those places for everyone to feel and they compel, sometimes by force, your conformity and acceptance. Not a fan.
in reply to Sir ALF

@Sir ALF How many people escaped from West Germany to East? And then there was North vs South Viet Nam? Or how about the Bolshevik revolution, how did that work out? Or the Cultural Revolution in mainland China, there is a real winner. But rather than learn from history people will just say they didn't do it right, like there is ever a right way for a top-down dictatorship which every communist regime ultimately decays to in very short order.
in reply to Killer*Mule

@Killer_Mule they'll just Ruby Ridge us. Its baked in. Not to be a downer, but seriously considering liquidating and exiting. Many factors involved, a constant undergirding stress in my life.

The idea that Del Norte residents are repped by the same critter as Santa Rosa is absurd. They have no rep ever under this construct.

I'd split Sonoma County into two if I had such an axe.

In past #OlympicGames held on American soil, sitting presidents have served in passive, ceremonial roles. Trump has other plans.

At the White House, speaking in front of banners adding the presidential seal to the logo for #LA28, Trump said he would send the military back to #LosAngeles if he so chose in order to *protect* the Games. In June, #Trump sent the #NationalGuard & US #Marines to the city amid widespread immigration enforcement actions, despite…condemnation from Mayor Karen Bass & other state officials.

“We’ll do anything necessary to keep the Olympics safe, including using our National Guard or military, OK?” #Trump said. “I will use the National Guard or the military. This is going to be so safe. If we have to.”

Trump’s #ExecutiveOrder establishes a *task force* led by him & #JDVance to *steer* federal coordination for the Games.

原来社保不是强制缴纳的吗?

我们这里都是强制缴纳的啊!

我记得我以前说过,我吃火锅,边上那一桌就是火锅店领导面对面的谈火锅店给员工缴纳社保的事情。

原本企业用工成本里,员工社保被很多企业“节流”了
损害了打工人的切身利益

我之前肇庆的朋友就是,他们单位规定要连续10年在企业,且年龄在35+的,企业才会帮员工缴纳社保。

真的是资本家的剥削

永远不缺要吃蛋糕的人

因为市场需求摆在那里

有些人蛮好笑的

他说:因为交了社保,大家就消费减少,更没有办法拉动消费了

那我问他:社保都交不起。将来养老金也没有,那不得计划存钱养老?那不是更别想消费了吗?
