    You can use taxes to socialize necessities all you like, as long as they control prices they will simply raise them and decrease purchasing power respectively, as long as some corpo has a monopoly on a product/service they maintain control of that product, taxes cannot take away anything from them

    You are completely ignoring my point, taxing those things won't diminish earnings for the top brass one bit if they can just raise prices as a response. How does increasing taxes on profits promotes reinvestment??

    Why would taxes on stuffs like stock payout have a different effect than income taxes? They'll just increase price even more to make up for the difference or shift more payout to a different type of rewards like bonuses or share handouts.

    This comment just confirms what I said. The concept of "geological evolution" is just an expression to describe changes that take place within the system, it has nothing to do with what happens in biological evolution

  • If I decide to self-publish a book what happens to the copyright? Is there a way to prevent others from claiming copyrights for a book published autonomously? Are there OS licenses specifically tuned for books?

    I agree with all of those with the possible exception of the third. I get why it's annoying but in a narrative it's a useful tool to keep good and evil clearly distinct.

    I hate stories where the line between good and evil is constantly blurred and the bad guy turns out to be simply "misguided" or where we simply ignore the crimes of the MC 'cause they're the MC so it's ok

  • Lemuroid doesn't show any MAME roms on android. I tried extracting the files, downloading from multiple sources, refreshing and making dedicated folders, nothing. Same issue is present for other console roms like NeoGeo. Any way to fix it? Else what's another good MAME emulator for android?
