Labor is prior to, and independent of, CapitRULE
  • You would have to show how you made sufficient surplus from sales minus the cost of labour to pay off the loan. The business case usually has a solid section on this.

    Obviously there is a future made of automation and ai but that is also the end of capitalism as the workers have not been paid to buy the product you just made.

  • Rishi Sunak considers radical shake-up of A-levels
  • Seems sensible but if we imagine that by some measure, like PISA, our children seemed to be stagnating or going backwards, who will be accountable? Then a PM will say, elect me and i will take responsibility.

    It's annoying but also inevitable for as long as we demand that our PMs fix things and be accountable.

  • Christian roulette
  • Not disagreeing with the thrust that atheists can tend to push their views a bit but technically everyone is a bit of an atheist.

    There are maybe 5000 gods currently being believed-in across the globe. A Christian doesn't believe in 4999 of them, an atheist doesn't believe in just one more.

  • People of Lemmy, I dare you to name ONE billionaire that's done anything good.
  • Well, not to diss on giving to charity but two technical arguments against. One is, you are acting as an additional tax on the worker (the source of the surplus) and then redirecting that tax to charity. It's fine but the elected government has democratically selected priorities that they can rarely fund so it is better to just give it to the treasury. And 2, just don't collect this tax in the first place, allowing the worker to spend it on the local economy.

  • Bosses mean it this time: Return to the office or get a new job! — As office occupancy rates stagnate, employers are giving up on perks and turning to threats
  • This is the key, and it cuts in different ways and needs planning strategy.

    If we don't go into town, then the businesses associated with going to work in town are in trouble, so coffee, lunch, snack, may as well get a book, after work drinks and then late food. All have less customers. Some of whom are themselves!

    So a spiral of decline, less retail jobs in town, less secondary and tertiary employment "in town".

    Theoretically we can now spend some of that money locally IF the local has the supply and this is where political strategy is needed to replan where we sleep as always where we spend our casual cash. And in many cases these dormitories are not well planned for that.

    So unfortunately we need to wait out this next phase of resistance in order to build political consensus for zoning and planning for more sustainable local hubs.

  • Agreed on the thrust of your comment but i also saw that a few changes to the nature of earth and everything changes. For example, a bit bigger and we could not use a rocket to leave orbit as it would exceed the power ratios. A bit closer to the sun etc.

    And the fact that it took 4bn years.

    The raw maths produces alot of planets but they still have to be Goldilocks

  • Adding Microsoft 365 to Google calendar app

    Hi all

    Have tried everything i could find on the web but maybe it is no longer possible. On my outlook Web client i don't seem to have the share calendar option.

    (My reasons are entirely aesthetic, the outlook widget is ugly)
