What happens when you don’t like the product that the state is offering?

Petition the central planners to offer something else. Central planning can still be democratic.

What about independent artists and creators?

Well without the need to sell their art they could create whatever they want without fear of it being unmarketable. An artist could just create without needing to sell it to anyone.

Figuring out what things people will like is next to impossible.

Businesses do this all the time! They do market research to find out what people want, they monitor current events and customer demands and social media. There's no reason a central planner can't do the same.

Same.

Shit sucks for us, but lifting the US boot off the neck of the world will make up for it.

Things aren't that far gone, yet.

Wake me up when Mexico/Canada join BRICS or the EU federalizes or something.

EU trades with Israel.

Wouldn't that just make them more reliant on the US for trade and funding?

You called me poorly educated. Was I supposed to be nice after that?

I literally recommend a specific book, do you think I'm so fucking stupid that I dont know what economics is? 😒

Related: MIT's pooled investments returned 8.9 percent last year and its endowment stands at $24.6 billion.

We largely have stuck with market based economies because they currently are much more responsive to changes.

No, we still have market based economies because they make a few people very very rich.

We needed markets before computers and instant mass communication. Things are different now

While computers have gotten more powerful there is zero evidence to support that we have gotten to the point where they could run a planned economy in any fashion.

What about the fact that market-based responses to COVID were universally worse than centrally planned responses?

 

Another reddit.world community got mad at me for saying "death to US" and now I'm banned. That's fine! But why can't I block them now? I am forced to see their posts every time I go to /all and can't comment or vote, so am effectively forced to view content without any ability to interact.

I don't want to see their posts and should be able to block them from my /all feed

Here look! When I'm not banned there's a clear option to block the community:

But after being banned I now can't block the community, I'm forced to keep seeing it in my feed!

SOLVED: From the user settings page there is a tab for Blocks next to the tab for Settings, and you can manually search for the community you wish to block in a search bar. That worked, even if the UI on the community page was messed up by the block message.

 
 

I'm experimenting a lot with fried rice at the moment and I think I'm getting pretty good at it?

 

Unfortunately didn't have any carrot, but still turned out really good!

Beans and rice cooked in diluted pineapple juice, with peppers, corn, and pineapple tidbits. Then your usual taco fixins (lettuce, onion, tomato, hot sauce) on a store-bought tortilla.

 

It's got onion and tomato and lettuce and cucumbers and jalapenos and bell peppers and smokey tvp and some spicy sauce 🤤

 

The potatoes are mixed with fried tvp, peas, and carrots. The cauliflower are breaded and airfried, coated with a spicy buffalo barbecue sauce.

Miiiight have cooked a little too much tho 😅

Also here's an action shot

 

Carmelized onions and garlic, cubed potatoes, bell peppers, and egg substitute; topped with hot-sauce, with a cup of white chai on the side.

Just a simple chili made with four tomatoes, one onion, half a bell pepper, a three chipotles in abado sauce, a clove of garlic, a couple tbsp of chili powder, a tbsp of oil, and then topped with nooch and air fried kidney beans.

I think I'll spring for mango or pineapple next time.

 

And you all told me the blue maga border bill that Republicans rejected was 4d chess.

 

In Khan Younis, many of those taking flight on Monday were already displaced from other areas. Abu Mohammed told Reuters it was now the third time he had been forced to flee since abandoning his home in Gaza City in the north.

"Why did they eject us from our homes in Gaza (City) if they planned to kill us here?" he said.

At a home in Khan Younis that was struck overnight, flames licked the collapsed masonry and grey smoke billowed out from the rubble. A child's stuffed toy of a sheep lay in a pile of dust. Boys were picking through the wreckage. Next door, Nesrine Abdelmoty stood amid damaged furniture in the rented room where she lives with her divorced daughter and two-year-old baby.

"We were sleeping at 5 a.m. when we felt things collapse, everything went upside down," she told Reuters. "They told (people) to move from the north to Khan Younis, since the south is safer. And now, they've bombed Khan Younis. Even Khan Younis is not safe now, and even if we move to Rafah, Rafah is not safe as well. Where do they want us to go?"

 

The end of the article jumped out at me:

The Palestinian health ministry said 40 patients died on Tuesday, after five days without the fuel needed to power generators that fed dialysis machines and other vital medical equipment. The hospital had also run out of clean water, and doctors said they were subsisting on dates to survive as food supplies dwindled to nothing.

Corpses were piled in front of the hospital, with staff too terrified to move between buildings. The UN’s office for humanitarian affairs said staff at al-Shifa, for decades the linchpin of Gaza’s medical system, had begun preparations for a mass grave to entomb 180 bodies in front of the facility, as there was no way for them to leave in order to bury the dead.
