Businesses buy and sell off each other and also create value. But sticking with the “if everyone did this” every one would run a one person business. Not efficient but would work. On the other hand if everyone is renting out houses, they can at most be renting out one (ignoring foe now second houses/holiday apts). Then everyone would be housed and paying each other in a circle. So, no, everyone doing what the post suggests can not work. All but the first house would be empty.

And in a democracy maybe because it is good for the citizens?

as a piece of clothing, fuck this guy and the cronies he rode in on.

Hotdogs horseshoes and handgrenades does all of this.

Acknowledging the past, realising/feeling bad things were done, and deciding future choice need to be better is not the same as personally feeling shame. Feeling responsible for a better future and feeling responsible for bad past decisions are independent concepts.

Nowadays there are no thermal expansion joints, the rails are welded. Any thunk thunk left is at switches.

Bottom chart is missing compound interest. This makes the birth lottery so unbalanced in the first place.

The focus on the hyperrich forgets that there is also inequality between someone who owns a house/has some hundreds k€ invested and the rest of the population. Which will then get compounded in the next generation.

Finally, I do not think it is even close to half/half. In order to be in the position to exploit the working class you more than likely where born rich first.

if its the same as steamdeck, those are the steam and … (status) overlay buttons.

Hotel guests are not the same as tenants in a rental home though.

Shouldn’t this apply to software in general?

Unless the license specifically is for a limited amount of time, and priced accordingly, usability should be ensured. I.e. you can make sth unplayable in the future, but then you are not allowed to price it as if it was usable in perpetuity and have to include the expected usable duration in marketing materials.
