Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why aren't people outraged about convenience pricing?English
4·2 days agoThere’s nothing outrage can do. You’ll still buy from them since the rich own everything and you still have to eat. You can’t outlast a billionaire just on hunger alone. Billionaires own the world. We’re just the (soon to be obsolete) chattle that lives in it to increase their profits.

That’s utilitarian. Its just utilitarian in very different ways for different classes. It ultimately provides help and resources to the Epstein class.

1·3 days agoutilitarianism suggests that it is at least in service to some sort of valued utility.
Yeah, the utility is in increasing the wealth of the rich at the expense of the poor.
It’s just stupid bullshit and corruption.
Yes, increasing the wealth of the rich at the expense of the poor is stupid corruption.

Did you not see where I said this?
You just get a whole lot of extras for the premium you pay (like road work, disaster relief, penalizing criminality, etc.).

But, yeah, at a conceptual level, society is ultimately a safety net (synonym for insurance) when compared to the individualism from living pre-stone age.

4·7 days agoAI can be run autonomously for simple tasks, but not the complex ones which are actually what costs the most.
That’s neither what its being sold as nor is it a reflection how tomorrow’s capabilities are being advertised.

01·7 days agoWell, the state is acting as a single payer for all health care its populace needs. The money is not going from you directly to the service provider. An example of that would be you paying someone to rotate your tires. Rather, the state is providing payment to the doctor for services provided to treat your health care needs. Thus, the state is acting as an insurer whose premium is the taxes you pay. You just get a whole lot of extras for the premium you pay (like road work, disaster relief, penalizing criminality, etc.). That is a textbook example of insurance.
*Edit: for those of you who doubt what I say, I ask you to look at history to as an illustration. When the US was last trying to adopt universal care under Obama, who was it that dumped the buckets of money on advertising to water it down to a mere marketplace from Romneycare? It was the private insurance companies. What was the main reform that got adopted in that in lieu of state coverage? That the insurance companies could no longer deny people with pre-existing conditions.
