Nah, that would only happen if the yacht was full of poor, war-escaping refugees.
Rich white yacht owners get a pass.

Hey hey now! No need to be that way!
Studies until now show that mosquitoes seem to never be keystone species anywhere, so eradicating them probably won’t cause any fallout whatsoever!
Be more optimistic with your annihilation fantasy. We all deserve it.
Race and religion are absolutely just smoke and mirror scapegoats and panic-triggering red buttons, for the far-right.
People vote far right because of strongman propaganda (Great Leader will solve it all!!!), combined with feelings of anger, frustration and powerlessness.
Any country that keeps it’s people poor and/or let’s rich fucks get rich enough, will get a blooming field of far-right politicians, vying for the privilege of getting more power, to suck the rich people’s dicks better, and get richer themselves.
Get me a fan or air conditioning, for survival, and I’m in
Skill issue
I didn’t say literally any of that though.
I said its main function is to distribute violence.
Money mainly exists as a way to decide to whom you will deny service.
The more money you can give, the less people will deny you what you need, and the opposite is true.
I think the problem is in the “measuring someone’s worth using an arbitrary number”, and not the money itself.
It’s that human worth shouldn’t be attached to a random hierarchical tool, whose main function is to distribute violence.
So, I’m assuming you are in support of a 2% wealth tax?
Sorry if I sound paranoid, just checking. Tone is hard to convey in text.
Well, you do you, but the trillion comparison has many, many other comparisons, further info, and interesting possible real-world uses for that money in the scroll. It really is recommended.
Though admittedly it does take some time, like a long interactive video.
Also… That’s should say something for the issue of inequality, itself, lol
That’s what made it genius, so the reversal was your oc.
Be proud.
If you’re talking about the Irish one, yeah.
The disease that made food inedible: British imperialism.
Oh my god I’m so stealing that, that’s genius. Where did you get that expression from? If it’s some content creator, I wanna see their work.
(I’m talking about the “the problem with endless growth” phrase, and I’m not joking)
Yeah, huge amount of harm to the people around the manufacturing plants.
And some amount of eating extremely inert molecules to the people buying them.
Two separate things, the first worse than the second, but still.
Greek here.
Kafeneia means coffee shops. Most definitely not cum taverns, as fun as that would be.
Ah yes, the John Oliver effect in action.
… I don’t know if I’d call it sad, as much as kinda baffling. Vim was on every package manager list I’ve seen, under text editors… Big stylised letters, how does one miss that?
I feel like it’s someone who only uses Linux specifically for (and because of) their work, and has probably never tinkered and casually browsed around in it.
Yeah, I can see how that can be sad, like a person who doesn’t actually share your culture/hobby after all.
I mean… Young people don’t know things yet… Isn’t that normal?
I get feeling existential about the passage of time, but… Sad? Laughing? Maybe I’m imagining it wrong, but I dunno. Maybe I’m just the young person in this occasion.
Not just that. Here in Greece, a decade ago at least, Facebook had a separate url (I think 0.facebook.com, instead of www.) which you could connect to even without having paid anything for mobile internet, completely free.
Facebook had a deal with our national provider to keep that connection free, for the cheapest, student-targeting plans specifically.
Many students, very often of junior high age, that had their own phones (not even necessarily smart phones), even when they didn’t have money for data, they were using Facebook. And only Facebook. Children growing up confusing “the internet” with Facebook, and being on it for loooong hours, even before we all got immersed in our phones 24/7
I bet they’re doing something similar, making Facebook dirt cheap or free, to get poor nations hooked.
