Wait. So the solution to government fucking with the market is more fucking with the market? How is an entity driven by public alarmism and the corporate dollar meant to make an informed, unbiased decision about the market?

2019-08-20 01:11:09 UTC  

thats an extremely dense take dude

2019-08-20 01:11:18 UTC  

im a bit disappointed in you lmao

2019-08-20 01:11:21 UTC  

Why is nuclear disincentivized?

2019-08-20 01:11:42 UTC  

the solution to government fucking with the market is to take out the government's *ridiculous* incentive structure

2019-08-20 01:11:58 UTC  

abolish citizens united

2019-08-20 01:12:05 UTC  

get money the fuck out of politics

2019-08-20 01:12:13 UTC  

and make politicians accountable to *the people* again

2019-08-20 01:12:14 UTC  

Okay, so you take out the incentive structure of nuclear being fucked because the public is afraid of Chernobyl and Fukushima too, no?

2019-08-20 01:12:36 UTC  

>get money out of politics

2019-08-20 01:12:51 UTC  

So we abolish government salaries and pensions too yeah?

2019-08-20 01:12:59 UTC  

another extremely dense take

2019-08-20 01:13:03 UTC  

no u

2019-08-20 01:13:10 UTC  

how can you say these things without giggling to yourself

2019-08-20 01:13:34 UTC  

"If I say ur dum that makes me right"
Why is nuclear disincentivized and how do we remove that incentive structure

2019-08-20 01:13:36 UTC  

but no, the government can do things that the people dont want them to do and this happens ALL THE TIME

2019-08-20 01:13:39 UTC  

How can you say 'take money out of politics' without realizing all dimensions of so-called money in politics

2019-08-20 01:13:49 UTC  

It happens when they can get away with it

2019-08-20 01:13:49 UTC  

I really don't know

2019-08-20 01:13:55 UTC  

the difference is what types of things the government does against the people's wishes

2019-08-20 01:14:02 UTC  

If they don't cowtow on certain issues, people will vote in someone else

2019-08-20 01:14:04 UTC  

Right

2019-08-20 01:14:07 UTC  

And it only matters when you don't like it

2019-08-20 01:14:10 UTC  

Yes?

2019-08-20 01:14:11 UTC  

Which is still a perverse incentive structure

2019-08-20 01:14:18 UTC  

Can you see how utterly authoritarian your take is?

2019-08-20 01:14:22 UTC  

dude congress has a 15% approval rating

2019-08-20 01:14:30 UTC  

yet dems and repubs get all the vote still

2019-08-20 01:14:34 UTC  

so your thesis is false

2019-08-20 01:14:37 UTC  

Doesn't matter. Only matters how they fare compared to the opposition

2019-08-20 01:14:38 UTC  

they keep voting for the same idiots

2019-08-20 01:15:05 UTC  

thats my point

2019-08-20 01:15:25 UTC  

Right, so how do you fix that system? Money out of politics doesn't solve the whole problem

2019-08-20 01:15:30 UTC  

people have a limited perception on alternatives, so they vote against their interests time and time again for the same shit parties

2019-08-20 01:15:36 UTC  

Yes

2019-08-20 01:15:46 UTC  

money out of politics is the main barrier dude

2019-08-20 01:15:49 UTC  

its not the whole thing

2019-08-20 01:16:00 UTC  

but its *THE* incentive structure which makes the most difference

2019-08-20 01:16:27 UTC  

And getting a sweetheart deal upon retirement isn't an incentive O__o?

2019-08-20 01:16:29 UTC  

political campaigns have to be publically funded 100%

2019-08-20 01:16:32 UTC  

I mean
