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?
thats an extremely dense take dude
im a bit disappointed in you lmao
Why is nuclear disincentivized?
the solution to government fucking with the market is to take out the government's *ridiculous* incentive structure
abolish citizens united
get money the fuck out of politics
and make politicians accountable to *the people* again
Okay, so you take out the incentive structure of nuclear being fucked because the public is afraid of Chernobyl and Fukushima too, no?
>get money out of politics
So we abolish government salaries and pensions too yeah?
another extremely dense take
no u
how can you say these things without giggling to yourself
"If I say ur dum that makes me right"
Why is nuclear disincentivized and how do we remove that incentive structure
but no, the government can do things that the people dont want them to do and this happens ALL THE TIME
How can you say 'take money out of politics' without realizing all dimensions of so-called money in politics
It happens when they can get away with it
I really don't know
the difference is what types of things the government does against the people's wishes
Right
And it only matters when you don't like it
Yes?
Which is still a perverse incentive structure
Can you see how utterly authoritarian your take is?
dude congress has a 15% approval rating
yet dems and repubs get all the vote still
so your thesis is false
Doesn't matter. Only matters how they fare compared to the opposition
they keep voting for the same idiots
thats my point
Right, so how do you fix that system? Money out of politics doesn't solve the whole problem
people have a limited perception on alternatives, so they vote against their interests time and time again for the same shit parties
Yes
money out of politics is the main barrier dude
its not the whole thing
but its *THE* incentive structure which makes the most difference
And getting a sweetheart deal upon retirement isn't an incentive O__o?
political campaigns have to be publically funded 100%
I mean
