Yeah, its not credible to claim that large, profitable enterprises will "implode" if the supply and demand curve shifts slightly.

At the most cynical level, businesses that depend on cheap labor from undocumented immigrants will get squeezed as their labor costs increase.

America's Military Industrial Complex isn't going to fail if market forces require they offer more money to secure a sufficient supply of labor.

It crashed because people were broke.

What happened in 1929 was a result of low wages and high unemployment pulling the rug out from under the economy, and therefore it suggests that policy that leads to higher wages and lower unemployment is needed to prevent a repeat.

The "implosion" of oligarchs profit margins isn't something any of us need to worry about. Over the short term, the vast majority of us will benefit from it - like 90% of the population stands to gain, 10% will break even, and the billionaires will see their income reduced.

In the long run, putting more disposable income into the hands of working Americans will be a driver of economic growth.

Mass deportation is obviously problematic for many reasons, but negatively impacting the profit margins of the Military Industrial Complex isn't one of them.

Increasing salaries of American workers by making labor scarce is the purpose of restrictive immigration policy.

Simple, get a miniature nuclear reactor to power the recycling of CO2 into O2 and C. You can then electrolize H2O to get more O and combine the H2 with the C from earlier to make gas for the generator.

Cast iron skillets sure do make it easier though.

Your ceiling is probably just a thin sheet of gypsum - stepping on it would be enough to break it and create a new exit.

Anyone know what version of TacOps mod is compatible with OldUnreal's version of UT?

I've recently noticed that downvotes don't stick for the community [email protected].

Bug or design choice? Is there a work around? My account is with lemmy.world - do I need to log into a different instance to have full downvote capability?

SOLVED - they banned me for downvoting their fascist frogs
