Excellent, I’m definitely fortunate. We didn’t have extra $$ but it never mattered much.
I have no idea what an anarchist communist is but I think this conversation got way off track. A communist country’s defining feature is that the public has (ostensibly) ownership of property which is typically through the state.
If you live on a literal commune somewhere of course the reality will be different.
The original conversation was regarding who produces pollution, a capitalist or communist nation, with my point being that it doesn’t matter what the form of government is.
Great observation. I always wondered how it was so easy for my parents until I realized no, it wasn’t. I always felt that if the house were to burn down I would be safe. Never thought twice about it, totally took them for granted.
No but state owned is the exact definition of communist. China has a communist government which allows a high degree of market/capitalist activity.
Around 1/3 of GDP is from state owned businesses. They definitely have a strong market economy there but my point was that capitalism causes greenhouse gas emissions like the guy I replied to stated is not true.
Don’t forget that the biggest greenhouse gas produce is China which last I checked is not capitalist.
You are correct. I think that a substantial portion of people don’t connect the dots and understand that companies only produce goods that consumers want/need.
Can’t upvote these enough.
Agreed. Knuckle-dragger response. Have everybody put together an “It’s OK to punch a ____” list, compile it, and let’s have a look. Won’t be pretty.
That’s true for a Mexican asylum seeker but for others, Eg Venezuelans recently, they have to pass through like 6 other countries before coming to the US border.
Most everyone comes to the US for one primary reason and I would be doing the same if I were them.
Being forced to pay competitive wages would be a major benefit to poor/uneducated workers and their families.
I always love the line, “Americans won’t do X kind of labor.”
Nope, not for $3/hr. Working in a field for $30/hr? I suspect there would be little difficulty hiring.

I have YouTube premium and totally agree with you.
One workaround though, although it’s a bit of a pain,is that you can VPN into your home network and have the benefits of pihole when on mobile or using an iPad.
