I feel like borderlands 1 was boring but had some high points, but the dlc really started to capture what the series would become. The general Knox dlc is still one of my favorites.

Agreed. I feel as though capitalism is a good option for things which can have elastic demand. Luxury items, entertainment, etc can all benefit from a competitive market because I have the luxury of not needing to buy them. On the other hand, I do absolutely need food, housing, and healthcare in order to live. Applying supply and demand principles when demand must be inelastic only leads to people getting hurt.

My dream system would be one in which, as a baseline, all human requirements for survival are provided no matter the situation, and where currency is only used for luxuries.

Hey now, I’ve met some pretty goddam intelligent rocks in my time.

Also, it will take weeks for the whole process to get started again. Once deals are made, factories start production again, and containers are loaded onto ships, which will then take weeks to make it across the ocean. We’re talking months of supply chain shocks in the best possible case.

Cascadia baby!

I don’t think that’s correct. Plenty of us on the left have firearms, we just don’t make it our entire personality.

This is our Bitty Kitty!

Edit: it won’t let me post the picture.

Also weird ergonomic issues and a different manual of arms. Those can both be trained around, but that’s a big ask for most militaries.

I don’t often run across a piece of pure poetry in the wild. Well said!

I mean, if the alternative is getting shipped to a torture prison in El Salvador with no due process? Not saying it’s a good alternative, but it is an alternative.
