- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Oh bullshit. Governance can absolutely compel industry to reform.
And political movements can undo government reforms, as we’re seeing right now.
Government reforms are still more effective than anything else we've tried. By focusing on individual reform, you're playing right into the hands of the 1%. There's even a book about it!
You can’t enact government reforms without winning an election, and to do that you need to convince individual voters. But then if you enact your reforms without a strong mandate, those reforms will be gone next election.
Anyway, that book is about nudge theory which is NOT what I’m arguing for. I already knew that bit of pop psychology was BS years ago.
