So your take is: let’s throw all those other studies from other countries in the bin then, because it clearly just comes down to ‘mindset’. Wat

Except studies consistently show UBI counterintuitively incentivizes those on it to work: ‘Finland is the only country to have carried out a nationwide, randomised control trial of UBI. The evaluation found that people receiving basic income were more likely to be in work than those in the control group.’
Also, having a secure financial footing is remarkably effective at alleviating mental health issues and promoting overall wellbeing, leading to more people in the workforce and more people contributing to the economy (ideally, this would benefit everyone but, you know, Neoliberalism…).
Bit of a knee jerk reaction, my man.

4·9 months agoBecause the Riddler actually had a valid point regarding the corruption infecting the city’s elites. If the scriptwriter had followed this chain of thought, Batman would have ended up fully siding with the Riddler and potentially giving all his money away to fund social progress and equity.
Obviously instead the Riddler went mental and Batman gets to keep his wee belt.
Okay, so be a pregnant child. Got you.

This is the thing, exactly! It’s called The Banality of Evil. When Adolf Eichmann was being tried in Nuremberg for war crimes he committed in Auschwitz, it was widely remarked on about his lack of ‘evilness’. The dude seemed like a mild mannered accountant, and by all means was, but he helped enact one of the most heinous and calculated acts of genocide in all of history.
Monsters are easy to point at and shudder, monstrous humanity is far harder to accept let alone vilify. This piece of shit CEO is firmly in the Eichmann camp of evil and we should fucking celebrate he’s dead.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return?
36·1 year agoI think the problem here is the concurrent effects of climate change. The US couldn’t have picked a worse time to move from flirting with facism to full-on marrying it.
You can deal with one crisis if you’re coordinated enough but the chaos that’s already occurring with the climate - and is set to become exponentially worse - doesn’t give me much hope for a harmonious conclusion to this. Obviously, I hope I’m wrong and you’re right.
