Work Reform@lemmy.world•They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back.
1·9 days agoHow is this a principled idea? There are countless examples across the economy where we have these labor tradeoffs. Building your own IKEA furniture. Picking up food yourself instead of getting it delivered. Yet we almost never have politicians come in and try to impose price controls on this deferred labor.

1·9 days agoI’m pretty well read in economics. This is a well known concept called unintended consequences. People who are familiar know that there are endless ways to game any system and we tend to prefer very simple rules.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do some people identify with a political party even if many of their views don't align with that party's platform?
5·18 days agoOn social issues like LGBTQ there’s a generational effect, like a shifting baseline. I’m a millennial and I support gays and trans people as much as the next guy, but because I grew up with it, I’m not as sensitive to the use of gay as a casual epithet as someone younger.
If we didn’t have a political system that drives people into 2 parties, there would probably be a party for blue dog democrats that’s more moderate and socially conservative.
Look up Moral Foundations Theory to get a better understanding of the psychological underpinnings of political ideology.

Firefox@lemmy.world•Firefox capitulates and returns to Twitter
21·22 days agoTrump quit Twitter and it didn’t decrease his exposure there. There were plenty of people sharing screenshots of his posts. But the fact he wasn’t on there sent a message. Firefox should do the same thing. If they are respected enough their message will get spread indirectly, and the fact that it’s indirect sends its own message.
As I recall he won one case but it was inconsequential. An election observer was asked to step back and apparently that was wrong. But no real impropriety with counting happened.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•horny-ness in humans is not that different from other species’ heat
1·29 days agoWe’re actually quite unique. Most mammals don’t have menstrual cycles, they have estrous cycles. And the erectile penis is also unique. Most male mammals have penis bones.
Social Security is not designed to redistribute a ton of money from the rich to the poor. And it isn’t used to fund the government so it doesn’t make the rich pay their “fair share”. It’s intended to force people to save so we don’t have a ton of poor seniors around.
Rich people are taxed up to a certain amount. So the rich and super rich pay in the same maximum dollar amount. But on the other side the benefits that they get out are capped in the same way.
It’s not supposed to be like a retirement plan where you assume you’re going to live on 80% of your income in retirement. It’s just there to ensure you have “enough”. The most money an individual can get out of social security, the maximum benefit, is $5181/month.
To be a little more accurate, Social Security Disability Insurance is redistributive by design.
If we’re talking a major cost, the landlord will probably amortize it over a long period, so if you’re only renting a short period you won’t pay for it all.

7·29 days agoThey realize the market is at peak so they’re going to get out anyway.
Or, better theory, they’ve grandfathered in existing arrangements so it’s just keeping out additional PE firms.
