  • GDP (gross domestic product) has always been a poor metric IMO. It prioritizes a never ending upwards trend to increase productivity and “produce more”, all while assuming infinite resource’s.

    There needs to be a new metric that also takes into account the planet and sustainably. We dont have infinite resource’s and at some point GDP will go off a cliff.

    For example you can’t just cut down 100 acears today, and in a effort to increase GDP cut down 200 acres tomorrow. At somepoint you will run out, and your GDP metric will fail.

    A sustainable business that produces a steady flow while maintaining a steady supply should be the gold standard. A sustainable circular industry.

    Long term vs short term thinking/profits.

  • “What they do is set up a fake payment portal where money goes in and nothing comes out.”

    They actually go alot further in making the scam seem legit. They setup full trading platform apps that look legit. These apps are listed in the apple store and play store, they even have real real reviews.

    You download the app yourself, you setup your profiles yourself. Everything seem legit because you actually setup the acounts.

    You then put money into these “accounts”, you watch the value go up and down like it normally would on a stock market. Then when you are happy with your “investment”, time to withdrawal and there’s no money to take out.




  • I would also argue “intent” needs to be taken into account, otherwise the general public would just be walking around destroying public and private property.

    For example if a person walks or rushes through a door, and somehow the door falls off or breaks. Then that person should not be responsible for the damage, this would just be standard “wear and tear”.

    If that same individual intended to break the same example door with physical force, such as smash the glass, or rip the door off the hinges, then this would be property damage.

    Anyways, in no way should a worker have to kneel and beg in any situation, especially when they fear losing their job if they dont make the next delivery.

    This article IMO shows a lack of worker protections and on job support within the gig economy. Workers should not have this fear, especially for minimum wage. If something happens to a worker during their shift they should have a direct support line, with support staff ready to assist.








  • 100 percent true. Any item created by a company should be collected back by that company for full disassemblely and recycled fully.

    This should be true for any thing, such as tvs, microwaves, fridges, couches, beds, plastic bottles, fast food packagings. Companies should accept the item back at pickup points easily accessible, and take back any item no matter how old. Think of beer bottle collections at your local beer store.

    We as tax payers should really stop allowing corporations to use public funded landfills and garbage collection for “free”. These costs should really be part of the products created internalised by corporations.
