Insurance only covers the PAPER value of the asset, It doesn’t factor at all the lost profiy, revenue, productivity, the years it could take to build a new one, etc. Not to mention irreplaceable machinery that has been out of production for decades, and replacement would require reverse engineering, and rebuilding it part by part.

Personally I interpreted the question as an individuals dilemma, I never intended for it to be a societal, or government sweeping legislation or expectation to abort any fetus with disabilities, just whether or not it was ethical for an individuals decision to abort. I dont think government or law should exist at all, so I wouldnt support any government restrictions on reproductive rights

Is it ethical to abort a child with any kind of disease/syndrome that requires more resources, time, and money than the parents can afford? If we had rephrased it as an adoption, it would be inarguable child abuse for a couple to adopt a special needs child they have no capability of raising.

Chatgpt, figure this out for me

Also super dumb to assert “after x years, it always dies!”

Like ya, everything already dies eventually. Imagine writing “every human who lived past 70 ALWAYS DIES!!!”

Step 4 - scapegoat minorities for all of the country’s issues

I have a bad feeling if goes through it will be extremely easily bypassable like every other tax the ultrawealthy are supposed to be paying

Too many people hate those who are different. Too many people take personal offense when someone doesn’t care about something they like. They don’t pump out kids for the machine and meat grinder.

As a wiser man than me said “the stock market is either fraud, or gambling”

This puts it best. Zoophillia and eating meat (what I assume they mean) are not morally comparable. Eating animals was a necessity for a long time, that has continued into modern life (because our brains are wired to LOVE meat). Nobody actually enjoys the process of killing animals, I’m sure if you had a butcher shop where you slaughtered live animals at the counter people would be horrified. We just like meat, we are literally wired to, and the process to obtain it is cruel and ugly.

Zoophillia is completely different, there is zero material gain from it, and it’s done purely for the joy of the human initiating it.

Yep, keep in mind all the retired old fucks who watch literally nothing but fox on their channel tv

I think it’s because they reached a point of American hatred (no judgement there) that they support form of resistance against the American world order, even if that resistance is in the form of dictatorships with horrible human rights records (they delude themselves to believe these countries are paradise however).

Thats why a lot of them still lick Russia’s boot, despite being thoroughly capitalist and fascist. Any and all resistance against America.

The companies rooting for the destruction of net neutrality are far larger and numerous

I don’t think it’s that simple. Whether one likes it or not, the economy will always recover, particularly because crashes, like trump’s, are engineered. Crashes kill all competition, deeply consolidating the market as only the biggest can survive (or recieve bailouts)

Yeah, in the book’s last page there are contact details for feedback and comments.

Ya, sorry! I added one but it failed to attach

They say this whilst trying their best to make EVs the printers of the car industry. Update? The car stops and bricks itself for the duration of it. Want basic features? You have to pay a monthly subscription for the car you already payed for. Need it repaired? Have to bring it to a dealership with criminal prices because every part is serialized and they have you by the balls. Need a new battery after it kicks the bucket in 4-5 years? Expect to pay $10-20k for a new one. Oh and of course the center terminal/tablet is now crucial for the cars function, so anytime that malfunction it bricks itself again. Oh and it will always track and spy on you with GPS and onboard cameras and microphones.

Is it just me or I always see conservatives having “lucid” moments where they see how terrible, corrupt and violent the maga regime is, but a few hours later, once they get hooked on fox again, they become a diehard supporter again.

Same thing with the subreddit. You see EVERYONE concerned about something the GOP is doing, but they never mention it again or acknowledge it again. Lucid moments where all the commenters seemingly revolt against the Republican party that suddenly fades without any lasting impact.

Its the execution that determines if its appropriation, or appreciation. Appropriation of Japanese is something I’m closely familiar with because my interest in Japanese craftsmanship, knives and blacksmithing

If someone is using the culture to sell a mediocre, tangentially related product, disrespecting the original culture, is appropriation. If the product itself is executed faithfully, with dignity and respect to the culture it comes from, or is inspired from, then it’s appreciation.

There are a lot of Japanese knife scams that poorly attempt to imitate somebody the features of Japanese knives, made out of junk steel, mass produced in China. These are appropriation.

There are some western blacksmiths who are genuinely as skilled as their Japanese counterparts, who make excellent Japanese style knives, faithfully recreating all of the details, features and quality as authentic examples. This is appreciation.

Can you blame workers for participating in a machine that provides for them?

Also just because an evil CEO was from the baby boomer generation, doesn’t make them all collectively guilty
