Modern democracy needs regular and active involvement of citizens
TreeBeard replied to myata's topic in Political Philosophy
I don’t think the technology itself is a part of the problem at all. It’s 100% social policy. Is it appropriate to point out the issues of automation and to potentially delay some of its implementation until there is a social solution to the issues that it causes? When someone “hates” self checkouts, is it the technology they hate or the consequences of not having a social policy in place to alleviate the suffering caused by its implementation? -

Fair enough for a small and busy grocery store. The motivation can be different. But Sobeys motivation isn’t the same as your co-op. -

Why should society embrace a change that makes more corporate profits but employs less people? Where are those cashiers now? Was there a plan to deal with the fallout? Of course not. How is more profit for Sobeys better than less people with money to pay for rent and food? -
You think Singh wanted to fight him?

Would you be concerned if it were the other way around? -
Absolutely. Believing in magic makes any absurdity possible.

These rightwing trucker guys are not exactly the alpha-males, eh? They couldn’t even talk to Mr. Singh about the stuff they were yelling from the sidelines. They’re like little yappy dogs. As soon as Mr. Singh looked at him, he cowered in fear of having to justify what he was saying.

I Need to Ask Millennials--Why Are your Kids so Awful?

So you are in favour of the non mRNA covid vaccine? -
Yes. Why are you for Chinese, Russian and North Korean missiles killing Ukrainians? But not Ukrainian missiles going the other way? Yes. Any Ukrainian missiles made anywhere should blow up Russian targets. Yes. The alternative is to allow a bunch of Europe, including our allies to salute Putin as he rides by shirtless on a horse. I put the odds pretty low. But it could happen.

Why is Putin allowed to attack Ukraine, but not the other way around?

More fictional speculation of how life began
TreeBeard replied to blackbird's topic in Religion & Politics
@French Patriot specifically asked about someone being gay. That’s what you responded to. Why would you answer a question that wasn’t asked? So you don’t think being gay is a fantasy or delusion? -
