What I said:
I mean preferably you’d pick top ones to compare, so best in class from both systems
The topic was about people living paycheck to paycheck and social safety net… So take top ones in that category from both systems and compare them to find the overall winner.

It just feels like a “programming is failing” moment to write that in reply to a comment questioning the focus on the US when the comparison was just to capitalist countries.I mean jeez. There’s other countries out there and we were talking about those beating China. If you feel like the Nordics have poorer safety nets than China or more people living paycheck to paycheck just say that, instead of a reply talking about US for whatever reason…
Did you just make the whole thing about USA? Fucking hell, this America centrism is killing me
I mean preferably you’d pick top ones to compare, so best in class from both systems. In this case the winner would be from the capitalist side, if your pick was China. That’s what I meant it being a poor example. There’s probably a socialist country that actually beats the capitalist countries when it comes to social safety net and not as many living paycheck to paycheck
That’d be fine if those were the two countries in the world, but there’s lots of capitalist and socialist countries
Like I said, theoretically it will even better than those capitalist countries, at some point. It’s just not the case yet
China has a shitload of people living paycheck to paycheck in miserable conditions. Up until 2014 (and even still) people outside of cities didn’t even get proper social safety nets. Arguably even some capitalist countries are better off there.
I’m sure in theory China will have it better than anyone else at some point and whatnot but when it comes to this meme, it’s not a great example tbh
Printing flyers on a paper is out too if there’s no consideration for good outweighing the bad
Are there countries where there aren’t people living paycheck to paycheck? I really can’t think of any, unless we count some social safety net things but some capitalist countries have that
Do these people really think the use of AI for that photo outweighs the positive impact from that sort of ad campaign??
Didn’t care for it myself. It’s one of those “I see what you’re trying but meh” things for me

Uhh, were you suggesting they should have black people serve in that because… Africa?
It’s pretty nice that you can ask conversationally. Easier to do searches
It does feel like zoomies and kids in general have lost a lot of technical knowledge when it comes to computers.
I have busiest time this week until Thursday with lots of overtime, then it’s off to Christmas holiday until 7.1. I’m counting hours lol





We’re trying to find the best countries right now. You’ll never find good comparable enough countries anyway, there’s always big meaningful differences that can be argued over endlessly.
Right now there’s capitalist countries beating all the socialist ones at what we’re talking about. Like said, theoretically at some point they will be best than every capitalist country. It’s just not right now.
