I'll play the shaggame:

I think janitors might enjoy their jobs better if they weren't treated like poo poo by subcontracting companies that are incentivized (i.e. make more profit) when they do so. Am I wrong to think so, shaggar, son of dolt?

Rehabilitated?


That's just a bullshit word.
so there are some lovely jobs that you can probably communize in a post-scarcity society, like you really don't need a dedicated janitor just like you don't need a dedicated maid, just have people take turns doing cleanup poo poo. and then of course the tons of paper-pushing jobs whose only purpose is to build up profits without actually producing anything beneficial to society will go away. but shaggar is right in that no one is a loving janitor because they enjoy cleaning up after other people

for other lovely jobs that are absolutely necessary there needs to be a strong incentive to do them, which idk can still be cash? like if you are going to be out all day busting your rear end building houses and poo poo you should be able to afford a nice house in return etc?

im not arguing money is the only motivator, its just a very good one. Power is also a great motivator and you're right in that that motivation would still exist. the difference in communism would be the power is centralized in the party so musk now runs everything instead of just his companies.

healthcare adjacent computers aren't the problem, healthcare adjacent people are. CMS is bad and the bad computers come out of bad CMS regulations and enforcement. I deal more with CMSs failures than anything else.

what does "best" mean with regards to economic systems?

Shaggar
Apr 26, 2006
in practice its generally best at production, trade, and personal freedom which in turn lead to better quality of life. people will claim variations of fascism (ex: communism) are more efficient but in practice they end up with bad leaders making bad choices while systemically oppressing their people. that said theres something to the ability of the Chinese to steal ideas from other countries and force them onto everyone in short order.
