  • I'm not saying the system is what you should be more grateful of, but minimum wages were fought for by people who didn't earn enough to pay for their basic needs. They acts as flood gates against greedy employers. Doesn't mean the rest of the system is worth appreciating.

    The need for lowering the price of goods doesn't change when there would be a basic income, but you are right people are more willing to accept a low wage of they are threatened by starvation and homelessness, a basic income will definitely be a good thing for people who currently are earning a low wage.

  • I think the better educated/skilled someone is the more the free market will benefit the employee, because if someone is easily replaceable the focus is more on how cheap someone can do something rather than how good someone can do it. Companies are under pressure to deliver their service/product for a low price, wages are a big part of their operation cost .

  • I have no idea how birds see the world but laserwindmills sure sound cool, you could make something like that spraying dark spots in the sky like an octopus squirting ink. I mean if we can come up with these ideas then surely they can come up something that is less costly than turning them off all the time. Maybe just hire a bunch of artists and not only engineers, but I don't know to be honest, maybe they've been trying really hard to figure something out all this time already.

  • There might be places where it worked, but the fact there is a difference between 'normal' and 'tipped' minimum wage in the US says a lot about the powers working against the individual. I heard the minimum hasn't changed in decades in the US and the tipped minimum wage is about $2.50 or something. But to be honest I don't expect someone that says "... just don't be illegal or find another job in your home country" to know what it's like to struggle making end meet and then have these powers working against you.

  • I have no clue how it is processed, you can link to a community by writing

    [!world@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/world)

    And a URL by writing

    Also when you write something in bold or italic or code it is 'translated' by the backend because the html output is different the the plain text input.

    But I'm no programmer, so I don't really know.

  • I have no clue what would work well, but I mean we figured it out right. I'm glad they are trying to save birds but turning them off all the time sounds so prehistoric.

    Have you ever heard of a persistence of video display? It spins around a long led strip and all of a sudden an image appears because it spins round so fast your brain can't process the fact that it is a spinning string. It looks like this:

    I mean, if we can make that and we can make windmills, surely we could generate power while also preventing birds from accidently killing themselves.

  • Part of me wants to write 'Ok bye' because a big part of me doesn't care what others on the internet do and not do, but I think it'd be more fair to you and the others in this community if I ask you to please reconsider. If the positive leaves and the negative stays behind, we get stuck in a loop of continuously chasing the positive to a new place until they leave again. If you feel it'd be better to spend less time here, that's fair. If you feel there should be more moderation, fair too. But I think this place is better off if you don't turn your back on us. But if do and happen to find a place that is kinder to you, I hope you'll let us know where to go. Take care.

  • Nice article, I like how it is basically a list of things about Europe that aren't that great but then ends with "But in their own plodding way, Europeans have created a place where they are guaranteed rights to what others yearn for: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
