  • My 2 cents:

    • I think that saying was about democracy, not capitalism
    • Bear in mind that US is a capitalist lunapark. Most developed countries understood that social policies are absolutely necessary for people, even though we could call those countries a “capitalist country” or countries “based on capitalism”. Just saying that don’t take what’s happenning in the US as a base because it’s not
    • If we’re about to start to brainstorm about different systems - bear in mind that (not all but many) people are greedy, proud, jealous and sometimes assholes. And personally, I have a really hard time to design a system that would handle all those wonderful human treats in some decent way

    P.S. I was born in socialist Czechoslovakia and its goal was noble but … it’s amazing to watch human greed and jealousy to take over a system like socialism














  • And also how often the movie is completely oblivious to that. For example it’s been a while since I saw “Devil wears Prada” but if I remember right, the ending is:

    Our main character has an argument with her boyfriend

    Goes to a business trip in Paris

    Sleeps with random guy

    Returns home and makes up with her boyfriend

    And the movie ends like nothing happened, she’s happy, that’s what’s important









  • I respectably disagree.

    Yes, OSM is for humans but navigation isn’t its only purpose. People are mapping mundane things like trees, grass patches or manholes, in my opinion a huge structure like a staircase is worth mapping, even if as a single point. And actually - this concrete staircase is actually used daily by the people in that office building, so it’s not just a fire escape.

    Please don’t kill the enthusiasm in people
