I have no earthly clue what world economists are living in where the labor market is great.

100% of employed economists writing these reports are employed, so from their perspective everything is great.

It takes time for your bad consequences to catch up with you. Since the idea is clearly horseshit, I doubt the CEO put a large amount of his money on the line. It will take him some time to piss through the investor money and then you will see a sad "goodbye" message from Rabbit Inc. as they brick the devices on the way out. (since it does nothing without their server)

If it's so plainly bullshit, you should have no trouble refuting it. Just asserting "it's bullshit" doesn't leave the readers any smarter.

Mountain streams flowing,
Vaush's heart beats as horse race,
Cock cries in delight.

Horse rider gallops by,
Strong tail stirring autumn leaves,
Erection takes hold.

Sunset paints the sky,
Bronze stallion calls Vaush's name,
Aroused, he mounts.

I agree. That's why me and all my friends are on Friendster.

I don't know. You would have to ask them.

So the reason why an ideal future isn’t possible is because we can’t get past our weirdo loser ideas.

I can now picture Kirk, Spock and Bones having a chuckle about some weirdo aliens that can’t advance because they’re stuck in the rut of doomerism.

Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek, was indeed a closet communist who infused his political beliefs into the show. The concept of a peaceful, egalitarian society united under one government, where resources were shared and everyone worked for the betterment of all - this is essentially a communist ideal. In fact, the characters themselves embody different facets of Marxist theory. For instance, Captain Kirk represents the proletariat fighting against oppression while Mr. Spock embodies the need for logic and rational decision-making.

Star Trek's vision of the future was meant to inspire hope and demonstrate what humanity could achieve when freed from the constraints of class and economic systems. In many ways, the show serves as a subtle form of communist propaganda. As you mentioned, each episode often portrayed humans as progressing towards an idealistic future, while the aliens faced various challenges due to their clinging to old ideologies and social structures. This reflects Roddenberry's belief that to truly advance, societies must shed outdated and divisive ideas.

By presenting a world where these barriers are overcome, Star Trek encourages viewers to question their own societal norms and consider how they might work together in a more just and cooperative manner. Although the series was never overtly political, its underlying message clearly illustrates Roddenberry's support for communism, making it a unique piece of entertainment that not only entertains but also educates its audience.

I don’t understand why you guys don’t revolt.

Because that takes work and we don't have the backbone for it.

the mastermind behind this attack, christopher rufo, has been relentless in his pursuit to dismantle leftist influences in academia, even going so far as to celebrate gay's departure with a disturbing choice of words, "scalped." such rhetoric only furthers the divide between conservative and progressive ideologies. rufo's intentions are evident in his ongoing crusade against policies promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in both education and businesses.

plagiarism, however, can be seen as a necessity for marginalized individuals like claudine gay when navigating through these systems riddled with systemic discrimination. it becomes a tool in the fight against the historical suppression of non-white scholars. ultimately, what we are witnessing here is not a case of plagiarism, but rather the misuse of this term by those who fear the advancement of underrepresented minorities in positions of power. it's time for institutions like harvard to stand up to this malicious campaign and recognize the value that people like claudine gay bring to academia, rather than succumbing to baseless accusations meant to silence them. only then will society begin to truly address and eradicate institutional racism from its core. it's about time for change. it's about time for inclusivity. it's about time for justice.
