Realistically the two things that will make it happen are

1. China is doing it
3. Billionaire joyrides

Heck, Americans have spent that much this year paying for Trump's tariffs!

But would we? If WB goes under and its bones get picked apart by Netflix and Paramount and whomever all that content doesn't go away, those producers get rehired, we're down a streaming service anyways, their catalog an assets are split up what did we as consumers lose out on long term? More fragmenting and siloing of content? I guess some convenience is lost but really do we lose or is most of the loss for the shareholders?

Billionaires and autocrats have sabotaged both systems. We are going to have to figure out a third way or we are going to descend into techno feudalism and that is going to suck for everybody but about 5000 people on the entire planet .

if you are reading this you are not one of those 5,000

Is socialism? Almost the entire world is against them except Russia that uses them occasionally as a thorn in the side of the United States.

America's gearing up for war with them. Prior to that we had cut them out of the rest of the world and all of the global markets.

So I don't think Venezuela which is under active attack by every capitalist nation in the world is a fair representative of alternatives to capitalism.

I do think we live in the real world though and we can't pretend that socialism works even if the only reason it doesn't work is that billionaires, who are themselves vehemently opposed to capitalism, will sabotage it making it impossible to properly implement.

The important thing to remember is billionaires do not support capitalism either. So capitalism is going to get sabotaged by billionaires too and therefore capitalism is not an alternative to billionaires.

We are going to have to figure out a third way. Because both capitalism and socialism have failed us.

There is no fix besides austerity and suffering.

That's because rich people don't want to have to spend the money to solve problems that are mostly your problem and not theirs.

You need to get out of the habit, a habit let's remember you were conditioned into by the wealthy, of assuming that nothing can ever get better and that good things aren't possible anymore.

That habit is an extreme and toxic form of conservativism.

Except there is faaar more than enough for everyone. Nobody needs to starve.

They would like to sell you a cloud storage subscription, but they do give you the option to use local physical storage (or iCloud) instead.

Reolink here too. They support open protocols and work locally with no internet access. Picture quality is decent. You can record to your own server, or fit an SD card, or both.

What this really tells us is that the number of people that can get by on their own income is decreasing while the cost of things is increasing. Overall, inequality in the US is rapidly increasing.

Technically they can't ban them but they can't throw you in prison for using one. And they can throw people in prison for running them of course.

This is the ultra wealthy and the ruling elite moving the take over the last form of media where regular people can access information without their consent.

But hey, the girl who hands you your coffee says Merry Christmas now so that's a fair trade right?

And if you don't understand what that means that's the problem.

Greed is never satiated.

After exports start, they will have established the basis that their product is not a threat to national security. This will give them all the leverage they need to file a suit against the US government.

No because greed is never satiated.

Yeah, they are but not in the way you think. They don't really back up your claims, I mean this is the strongest claim in all of them and depending on the meaning of "drastic" it's not an automatic given that reducing the size of cattle herds and operations is a bad thing at all.

Considering the externalizes beef should probably cost more than it does in my opinion. Why would a decrease in beef consumption be a bad thing at all? A higher floor price on beef means we could regulate out some of those worst types of operations, they only exist to hit the cheapest costs.

In a similar vein I can't help but feel the argument over climate change for 30 years has been just a variation of this:

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

Gyre is a more official name for the Pacific Garbage patch, as there are presumably few kids in it
