- A robust democracy@evan Our market economy is mainly working for the ulta rich and, as the old saying goes, the rich are getting richer. Their dominance makes it difficult to have all those nice things you listed. As long as we have this gross inequality, I am not sure we can recover.

@tmstreet the inequality is due to a failed market!

@evan @tmstreet Some sources of wealth inequality reflect market failures; others do not. Have you read about the Wilt Chamberlain Argument? https://www.britannica.com/biography/Robert-Nozick/The-entitlement-theory-of-justice#ref828038

@mpjgregoire @tmstreet I don't understand how it applies.
Concentrations of wealth happen when markets are broken. I'd say, they're almost the definition of when markets are broken.

- A robust democracy@evan you need to determine "work". Market economies work for the rich by default. All these provisions you mention are interventions in market economies to make them work (partially) also for working people. I support any of these interventions but still think it is a better idea to move from market economies to economies based on commons, or as it often described a Social Solidarity Economy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solidarity_economy#Social_economy_businesses?wprov=sfla1

@evan
Is there something broken in the market in Nozick's argument? Is there something unfair about Mr. Chamberlain earning money for his exceptional skills? -
@mpjgregoire @tmstreet so, I don't want to argue about this imaginary scenario.

"All these provisions you mention are interventions in market economies to make them work (partially) also for working people."
Yes, that was the point of the list. Unfair markets also don't work for most business owners, by the way.

Altre note interessanti:
secondo me è difficile impedire ai gatti di andare dove non vogliono perché non hanno proprio un meccanismo che dica "non andare lì".
Per esempio credo che i cani abbiano un avviso di "pericolo/paura", un abbaiare che avvisa in anticipo di non andare in un posto dove ci sono state esperienze negative.
I gatti invece mi pare manchino completamente di questo segnale e siccome non hanno un rapporto gerarchico nel gruppo non capiscono neanche il divieto.
Capiscono invece cose come "non venire qui perché è il mio posto" e se sono cuccioli e seguono la mamma capiscono "la mamma non va in questo posto/non fa questa cosa, anche noi non ci andiamo/non facciamo".
Credo che l'unico vero modo di impedire ai gatti di andare in un posto sia renderlo molto scomodo e poco interessante in modo che non abbiano voglia di andarci.
Se comunque prendono un'abitudine poi non c'è quasi nulla che la possa cambiare.

@bkuhn @evan ok but we're a big community, surely that's not nothing right? like, if we can convince all our friends, family, and neighbors to switch to GNU/Linux, then why couldn't we also tell them all about Evan?

...ecco, mordere è una cosa che non ho mai fatto, però spesso cerco di comunicare in un linguaggio gattescamente comprensibile.
Purtroppo non ho la coda e le orecchie quindi la mia espressività del gattese è molto limitata, però riesco abbastanza bene a ringhiare avvisi cautelativi, soffiare disappunto e allungare leggere zampate che significano "stai a distanza".
Un'altra gravissima pecca è che non so fare le fusa.

> Bilancio (Politica) La discussione sulla patrimoniale, come se fosse effettivamente all’ordine del giorno, oltre a distrarre dal flop della manovra, ha aiutato la destra a attribuire al leader della Cgil, Maurizio Landini, il ruolo di nemico della patria che «vuole misure da Urss», come ha detto il vicepremier Antonio Tajani. Ieri il segretario del sindacato ha approfittato

@lamp Ok fair, though I will say I just used a mix to flavor hot water into lemonade.
You don't have to juice a lemon about it.That being said, there is a lemon tea, so I don't know how much that differs.
