He really hates Lemmy.ml so my assumption is that he doesn't want to link back to it in any way since the original question was in the Lemmy.ml asklemmy communjty

It's only that high if you narrow the scope to only full-time and employed for the whole year. This neglects how much (or maybe rather how little) the us values a large proportion of its labor. I didn't check the math on the percentage they gave, but it's at least in the right ballpark from some very rough napkin math- 60% of below median is 30% of total, and if we make a not amazing assumption that the "curve" of earnings is linear, then we can just shift the median by the given 30%, which if you shift up from 47960 you get 68.5k, or if you shift down from 60070 you get 42k.

If he very clearly didn't want a genocide, wouldn't he have taken action that would prevent it (or as much of it as reasonably possible) from continuing instead of just saying "You gotta stop it Jack!"?

The majority of these self checkouts also rate limit you intentionally or otherwise (likely due to weight checking on the bagging area). I know I can scan a lot faster than they let me given a proper setup

Do not use anti-zionism (OK) as a guise for your antisemitism (bad)

Save 100% on it by pirating it (or simply not playing it at all)

I want to push back on this just a little. Clearly UM isn't the bastion of consistent good thought, but others that were maligned like return2ozma have been pretty consistent in what they post.

This is to say, "Great, one person is a fuckup. Why are we attributing this to the whole group?"

I don't see how he's any more unelected than prime ministers who are voted on by their party. From my short wiki read it seems to work pretty similarly to that process

Yes that's definitely exactly what I said thank you. /s

I won't be engaging with you further, thanks.

I'll not directly list any because that would be a waste of both of our times (notably some directly listed in the forthcoming article), but here's a wikipedia article with some information about that. I'm picking wiki here because I have a feeling you won't immediately discard it as pro-china propaganda. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-owned_enterprises_of_China

If the workers own the state and the state owns the corporations, what practical difference does it make? In a sense: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_socialism

~~The logic here is the state apparently operates at the will of the people (high approval ratings and high participation) and is working to bring "common prosperity" by gaining more control over the privately owned economy and bringing io state (public) ownership~~
