TIL that due to casino profit distributions, every Seminole Native American is a multi-millionaire by the time they turn 18
  • The original commenters point was to use this as an example for why Universal Basic Income is a good idea and my point is that without capitalism this doesn't work. You couldn't reproduce this to cover the cost of UBI for everyone. It only works because it lives off of a very profitable industry and services a small group of people.

  • Businesses can discriminate against their customers? Alright then...
  • I don't think it's a smart decision. I think discriminating for any reason makes business sense nor will it win you any allies, but it should be legal. Anything less than that is the government forcing you to work.

  • Supreme Court Justices Give Heated Dissent Over Latest Racial Bias Ruling
  • It's still wrong. I'm perfectly happy to consider all aspects of AA, but so long as any part of it stands on determining someone's admission based on race it will always be racism and I'm not in favor of racism for any reason.

  • Supreme Court Justices Give Heated Dissent Over Latest Racial Bias Ruling
  • Ultimately I agree with the Affirmative Action ruling. The Equal Protections clause doesn't say, "All racism is bad except some racism for the right reasons, that's okay." it just says there is to be no discrimination based on race.

  • This sucks, but malicious compliance has also always been people's head cannon fantasies. There's zero chance that most of this situations went down as claimed. Bearing that in mind and with there being Jo karma to white on Lemmy, does it matter if they're reposts?

  • Lamborghini has sold its last fully gas-powered supercar
  • The only real reason for every car on the road not to go hybrid is cost and cost isn't a factor for Lamborghini. Hybrid drivetrains are the perfect answer to the Ice's gross inefficiencies when at idle or lower speeds.

    What is a good situation to use a tankless water heater?

    We've been exploring a thankless solution, but the company that quited us said it isn't a good idea in our area because the ground freezes in the winter. We don't live in a super cold area, but it does snow a few times a year and it can get into the single digits of degrees Fahrenheit.
