I would agree with you, if it wasn’t for the apple people trying to push everyone to join the cult because of the walled garden

orrk@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Germany hits 62.7% renewables in 2024 energy mix, with solar contributing 14%English1·5 个月前why would market electricity prices have any relation to what you pay on your power bill? turns out that companies will charge whatever they know they can, regardless of the cost of acquiring something to sell, should the cost of something be more than they know they can sell it for, they just won’t sell it.
The idea that market prices influence what you pay for something is basically one of the main lies of supply side economics.

"According to Young, though, the ultra-wealthy traditionally haven’t migrated in droves following such tax hikes.

Under current economic conditions, economic wealth is necessary for the functioning of the economy
is it required? to an extent, yes. but do we need 60% of everything to be owned by 10% of the population?
As for the Capital flight, that is a myth, even the implementation of straight wealth taxes don’t see great multimillionaire migrations, because taxation isn’t a very strong factor, in fact a golf course or tow is a stronger pull, example Scotland vs Ireland when the UK was still part of the EU saw more ultra wealthy live in Scotland, a region with a higher tax rate, than Ireland, primarily for golf courses.
ok, why should I care about the well off not getting to be quite the leaches they are now?

In fact, looking towards history, the only time we really had change for the better is when the working poor threatened the super rich
you know, that the end of history crap is what that song criticizes, making it a really strange way to reply to someone saying something is on the right side of history.
I beg to differ, how the modern shareholder capitalism works is nothing but squeezing profit out of society
