I'm not a economist... But wouldn't turning all corporations into 100% worker owned co-ops be better?

Being born is a consent-less affair. How do you know if your kid wants to live in the future we're leaving him/her?

Do away with voting booths, attach voting to everyone's tax forms. Give everyone a $5 tax credit for voting. People who don't do taxes can go to a public library and just pull the voting portion off of the tax forms there and mail it in.

Break up corporations in every sector of the economy and either resell the chunks back to the market or turn them all into 100% worker owned and operated co-ops.

I like FPS games to. ;-)

News to sad to fail? Because no one can ignore bad news forever...

If you're talking about me, I came here to understand the topic better before I commented there.

"bad electoral system."

I browse voat because I want to see what conservative/trump supporters think and I came upon this thread here:

I was wondering if you guys could address these guys concerns. We need everyone on the same side. We all want a free internet. Appreciate the help.

> I believe everyone should be part of the ownership class.

No classes for me no thank you. But hey, maybe different personality types need to have different ways of life. Perhaps you would thrive in a class based society, where as others would thrive in something else.

Seems like society is doing everything it can to keep this trend going: http://i.imgur.com/Uc6kX8G.jpg

While I agree, I think the problem is affording blaming the person who does the wrong thing.

Perhaps more permanent solution to the problem is in order such as fencing around the flowers getting trampled. End the drug war if you want to save money elsewhere for this.

Competitors? tisk tisk Comcast... you've been slacking.

I'm not a app making professional, but it is my understanding that web versions are deliberately sabotaged to coerce people into downloading the app. (so they can steal more data? Dunno)

Perhaps because powerful people don't want to find a solution; The powerful is exactly who is represented in our flawed electoral system:

How about hard wood floors?

Useless work to me is all the time and effort spent trying to possess things.

California should be two states or it's own country (imo).

We cage and kill other humans every day, are any of you surprised we do the same to animals?

> Midnight pizza deliverymen and administrators who decide how to spend resources are not bullshit jobs. They are both helpful and useful.

I appreciate the recognition as a pizza deliveryman. It's actually my dream job. It took me a decade of searching for work that made me happy to find it, and I was as surprised with were I found it as you (and my friends and family) are.

Every day its like I'm food Santa Claus bringing joy and happiness to the whole city. Every day is food Christmas. Everyone is always so pumped to see me when I show up, and that pumps me up. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

Every other job I had I had this sense of dread going to work. Hating being there, hating a large portion of my life and wishing for my life to go faster.

Granted I'm still a corporate wage slave, don't have health insurance/care, and prison is my retirement plan (healthcare/housing/food all free, and its not like the old folks home lets you leave whenever you want when you're old and senile anyways). But at least I can be a happy pizza wage slave.

I think the lesson here is to disband all spy agencies when not at war with another nation state.
