Stereotype posted:it's real funny that late stage capitalism is so desperate to find anything that could plausibly hold value that they have decided that just burning electricity is value. you get more money from burning the coal to add a few more bits to the end of the unintelligible garbage computation than you spend on the coal and the metal wires and glass and silicon, so capitalism is going to do it. It's the equivalent of burning wads of money for warmth, except this time it isn't the poor.

StrugglingHoneybun posted:If (inACrash){ They don't really need logic like that because in a crash, the car is more than happy to self-destruct. Destroying all evidence and cremating all occupants. It's like how the military always tries to destroy crash sites so people can't learn anything from the wreckage.

Xaris posted:yeah v true. it's easy to go "abloo why dont they just hit the handbrake" but it doesn't really exist and is just a parking brake that unless people live on a steep hill, they have likely never used. Abloo, why didn't they shift to neutral/turn the engine off (yes, I know about power breaking. Still would have been better)/unstuck their gas pedal which was the issue in the first place. There's no excuse for the incompetence of that person, apparently able to call 911 but not bring the car to a stop.

They're parking brakes, not emergency brakes. Emergency brakes are just the brakes. But by all means, pull that lever at highway speed, I like watching car crash videos.

I'm not saying it's an ideal future or anything and mmt doesn't promise the end of inequality. I said a "reasonable" future for a reason

also Germany printed an insane about of currency deliberately to screw their debt holders. I'll talk about how real inflation has been masked since 2009, but even then it hasn't come close to keeping up with the increase in money supply
