Nuclear thermal rockets, at least twice as efficient as the best chemical ones, and are absolutely going to be used for space travel to the moon and Mars in the future. NASA was working on them in the 60s and early 70s but when the space race started to cool down they stopped. There’s been more money put into that stuff recently though

i=sqrt(-1) is nice, but im hoping someone finds a use for the number x where |x| = -1 or some nonsense like that because it looks fun to mess with

im so shocked, how could this happen???

/s

How can we integrate blockchain into this?

doesnt sound very free market to me

if they raise prices because they have to, thats just normal

if they raise prices because they can get away with it, thats kinda nasty though

you want the govt to own everything? if so you are a communist. that actually is the definition

“Vote with your dollars” does not count.

its a weighted vote based on how much money you are willing to spend. If you want a larger impact orginize a boycott

Then better lawyers, repeat ad infinitum. There’s no such thing as a perfect law, there’s always some loopholes. If you can’t lobby your way around it, that is.

Then if they get better lawyers you make better law. There are several examples of an eternal cat and mouse chase in the modern world

No system is perfect. The goal is to find one that’s least bad.

I want to own my own things and I want to own whatever factories I spent money constructing. My personal property. And to stop me from abusing my workers or whatever there can be laws that stop me

i think a one of the largest problems with democracies nowadays is the influence of money on them. if that were removed we could actually move to a more reasonable world

Private property that isn’t personal is someone elses property

Its actually so annoying to feel like you have to check what instance it belongs to and who moderates a community before saying stuff, like if I were to say something about china committing genocide on a .ml community I’d get banned from there

what is a shareholder

I can’t vote out greedy shareholders

you do it by boycotting them

Every antitrust law just invents a new fun little puzzle for clever lawyers.

then make better laws

I can vote out the greedy people in my government

No? Have you looked at the news in the last few months??? Voting doesn’t work as nicely as you would like it think it does

i edited my comment before your reply to note that I simply used water as an example because it came first to my mind and there are better ones

As I wrote in my edited comment (that was changed before you replied) there are better examples of my point that I don’t want too much govt control, for example I wouldn’t want all the farms in my country controlled by the govt

A private org is beholden to no one except shareholders

And their consumers. An orange juice company tries to make their product sold, and at the end of the day they rely on you to buy it. If enough people don’t, they will increase the quality of their juice or decrease the price to increase sales.

We already had a gilded age where we learned how low for-profit entities will go. We had saw dust in bread, chalk in milk, and worse.

You should realize that companies need to compete with each other, and because of that they cant visibly increase the price of a good too much or lower its quality because they will lose sales. Anywhere where this doesn’t happen laws can be written to force them

watch this as it becomes the 2ed most upvoted post on all of lemmy

Clearly you didn’t read the part where I mentioned nuclear powered cargo ships.

What I understood you to be saying is that the world should ASAP make this change and I was telling you the effects of doing it too fast. Also nuclear powered ships have their own problems, like putting nuclear fuel in countries that might have more terrorism. I wouldn’t want Iran to have a nuclear powered ship much more than I would want them to have a nuclear bomb (which I really don’t want them to have)

I like how you’re putting more emphasis on jobs then medicine. I wonder where you’re getting your proprieties from.

Extremely minor detail with how I ordered a list. At any rate I think that because most people aren’t sick and all people need money to buy food, money might actually matter slightly more. But that really isn’t relevant at all.

If you want people to carefully read your whole post, maybe you should carefully use proper grammar. If you’re going to write an essay, at least use proper punctuation.

I use grammer when it benifits me. You can still read what I’m writing if I make a few spelling mistakes. this too is kinda irelavent

don’t expect anyone to follow any plan. I expect them to do the same thing they did through covid. Make the most selfish, self-centered discussions and cause the most unnecessary amount of suffering.

shity world. Ngl Id like it if there was some push to greenify transportation too, but I just don’t think the way you described is the best

that’s only the case if you exclude authoritarian communists and other similar systems that want a govt from your definition of ‘leftists’

no ur not 🤦

your government is

how about you tell me right now what a shareholder is because it really seems like you don’t know

the shareholders only care about themselves, but the system that they collectively create through mutual competition and distrust for each other provides (ideally) cheap and (ideally) high quality products for the costumer. Why isn’t this the case irl? Not enough competition, which the govt can safely encourage with antitrust laws.

why not? any alternative to mining at home?

after you say this

Private property is not someone else’s personal property…

you say they are this

…are owned and controlled by investors.

that stuff is the investors personal property (or the corporations but that is a technicality) and them selling it to me is fine as long as there is meaningful competition and no monopolies and govt regulations stopping them from putting toxins in it or something. I dont think the best solution to high prices and wealth inequality is taking the personal property away from these investors and handing it to their employees (who lets be honest probably don’t know much about economics) who aren’t motivated to take risks with the company and aren’t motivated to lower their wages when the company needs to save money or isn’t production much money. This lowers the competitiveness of the company, but having a CEO to manage all this while being kept in check with a union is a fine solution to this.

If there is a wealth gap higher taxes on the wealthy is all that is really needed to even it out

Without capital new factories wont be built btw, unless you have a bank or investor financing them. And I don’t think bank tellers should get a say in what the bank invests in (if its run by the workers this would happen, as the bank teller is a worker at the bank), because they very probably don’t know about the finances and economics of the industry the bank is investing in and wouldn’t have an educated opinion on the matter. I would rather have investors (who may have more money than others, but if its too much taxes can fix that, not funky ownership stuff needed) picking small companies, giving them money and later getting back their money as the small companies grow.

edit: I’m an honestly convinced most of the downvotes here are from people that see a large number and are inheritily inclined to increase it. I really don’t believe 9 people read this and honestly disagreed. And if you did disagree, reply and say why, because this is just iritating
