Except it’s currently working in practice in many countries, one of which is more successful by every measure than the US. Also Marxist-leninism is responsible for being more people out of poverty than any other system of socioeconomics.

The ones that explicitly state they are not socialist?

Renters do cover expenses like that. Because they pay rent. And rent pays for all of that plus profit.

They’d stop doing capitalism. Entirely. If people in the US were smart, they would have been the vanguard of the communist revolution in the late 1800s when Marxist ideas were starting to spread in the us.

Entirely depends on region. Walmarts strategy is to take a loss in an area until all local competitors are out of business then crank back up until that area is profitable enough to subsidize new areas. In my area Walmart is cheaper than pretty much everyone except dollar stores, and dollar stores treat their employees even worse while having even worse quality food for barely any cheaper.

Historically when there were work houses and inns that cost under a days pay, sure. But anytime after the 19th century it’s been true. Anywhere in the US in Canada for the last 150 years it’s been true. Any SFH it’s been true, including historically.

Landlords don’t rent out of the kindness of their cold, dead, grease filled hearts, they rent to make a profit. Meaning it is always cheaper to own than rent because that profit is built into the rent.

If you think that’s unaffordable, you should try renting which is always more expensive than owning.

The entire, exclusive point of this “AI” push is for robots to replace 99.99% of humanity so the rich don’t have to deal with peasants anymore. Of course they’re going to train them in every " human " task.

Get your head examined and enjoy your dying kernel. Adding politics that inherently go against foss philosophy is a bad idea, if you think you want to stay foss.

Really can’t wait for the coc board to self destruct at this rate so we can get a better alternative to Linux already.

Suspicion of terrorism, or nothing at all. If the libs are right they wouldn’t care about charges anymore. But since libs are so rarely correct, the government can hold you for 72 hours without charge and the patriot act has a whole list of charges that require no evidence for an arrest. Also statistically you live within 100 miles of a US border if you’re in the US, meaning border patrol can arrest you for any reason or no reason indefinitely.

They’d win. Assuming they invest in messaging and campaigning, instead of whatever the fuck Harris spent a billion on.

You people will eventually need to understand that you’re wrong and you’re the reason Trump is in office. Hope you figure it out before you’re on the wrong end of an open class war.

That looks like a Walmart cab, if they’re an actual Walmart driver, they’re the best paid, best treated truckers without a security clearance. Walmart fucks over all their other employees, don’t get me wrong, but their truckers are ridiculously well taken care of.

The US is not currently causing the genocide in Ukraine.

The US has not spent 80 years covering for genocide in Ukraine.

The US has not spent 80 years being the attack dog of another nation commiting genocide in Ukraine.

I’m not in Russia. I was not born in Russia. I do not pay taxes to Russia.

Maybe we shouldn’t have supported Ukraine if it meant supporting genocide

That’s really a western Europe thing and American thing. Even then no where near as much as you’re suggesting, not for the last 10k years or so at least. Beer/wine taking over and replacing water drinking unironically eliminated most of that, and in other cultures sanitation prevented it. English serfs had a lot of dysentery though, since they were too stupid to use Roman infrastructure.
