housing, food security, climate crisis

I would never want to rely on corporations' willingness to support those things. Corpos should, however, be heavily taxed so that the actual state would have money for those things.

In an ideal world (hey, let me dream!) those funds wouldn't instead be siphoned into defense budgets.

Stock buy-backs used to be illegal, which at least forced some reinvestment. Now it's just shareholder masturbation all the way down.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
