well no fucking shit sherlock

oh excuse me I'm sorry you shifted the model of managing Burning Man to a fucking for profit enterprise and now as a result of market forces you are going to lose money.

Thanks for playing capitalism. Better luck next time I guess.

Fuck that. Challenge the very system that is predicated upon the idea that someone has to pay someone else to live somewhere. Redistributing treats a symptom, restructuring addresses the root cause. With things like Universal Basic Income and Universal Healthcare, ie: social welfare that removes sca...

Oh and I live in a small town. The housing market here is inflated and almost all rentals are owned by speculators and managed by rental agencies. Not sure where these 'mom and pop' landlords you speak of are.

Nearly ONE THIRD of all Americans has not paid April Rent

How does a general strike work?

A general rent strike would really impact people who work hard to take care of their tenants and provide needed housing in areas without many apartments and condos.

If they depend on my rent to pay their mortgage then who is providing who with housing?

I like my landlord. Discussions are underway where I am attempting to explain to him that the purpose of a rent strike is to leverage collective power against landlords who then can leverage their collective power against the banks to relieve mortgages. This is how strikes work. This is how civil di...

and you jokers think I'm kidding "For years, the idea of a general strike has been derided in certain circles as unrealistic. In the span of just a few weeks, that derision has collapsed into anticipation. Strikes have happened across the history of this country, and every other on this planet. They...

play time is over.

a democratic party mandate to engage in electoral politics under threat of violent authoritarian rule is extortion. There are other options.

"Human beings are responsible both for much of what is wrong and for much of what could be right about the world today. But we have to take responsibility. In hindsight a revolution may look like a single event, but they are never experienced that way. Instead they are extended periods in which the ...

geez I don't fucking know why does anyone ever help anyone ever or do anything worthwhile??? The argument that we need money to motivate people to help each other out is pretty fucking thin right now as people are literally dying by the thousands because a profit-motivated system is an egregious fuc...

Haven't any of you watched Star Trek???

It's not like a post-scarcity society is a new concept or anything. Get with times you old fucks.

Asking who's going to pay for it or inferring similarity to a monetarily based economic exchange is completely irrelevant.

Read it again.

So either we all die cause of the virus or we all die cause capitalism collapses?

What a colossally bullshit fucking system we came up with here.

3rd option: abolish money and start feeding, housing and providing medical care to everyone.

For the BORG to put the tickets on sale one day (which will sell out in minutes) and in the next day or so announce the event will not be held and (sorry, suckers!) there will be no refunds, sounds like out-and-out fraud. It would be done that way to raise enough for operating funds until next year...

pretty sure OP was asking about hot springs for future recommendations, like during the summer time maybe closer to the time of the event...

Here’s a very informative graph I found on the interwebs today:

GENERAL STRIKE.


DEMANDS:
Everyone gets food, shelter and medical care.

EVERYONE.



That's it. It's so fucking simple but no one ever figures it out.

well damn. I'll have some bourbon too.

At least I think I may have honor of starting the most depressing eplaya thread ever.

More bourbon please.

Doom metal has a special place in my heart, but I honestly feel like the pure misanthropy and hatred embodied in Norwegian Black Metal is much more fitting for accompanying the feelings of apocalyptic dread and notions of impending doom. You'll want to turn the subs up for this one: https://open.spo...

Already happened in Russia:
"Vladimir Putin has dropped 800 tigers and lions all over the country to push people to stay home. Stay Safe Everyone!!”

I'm just slightly disappointed that we ended up with 4 pages of graphs instead of Zorb jokes.

I've managed to shit away 34 years of my life so I'm hoping this isn't any different.

A stalag style delousing center at the gate ??

I don’t see how that would be effective at combatting viral infections but still a great idea nonetheless.
