I assumed it meant that they just bribed the right politician/general?

How much of the prizes are really material costs vs. investor gains?

On a quick search, it seems wood houses are even more expensive to build in Europe (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2352710222001012). This is probably not true in the US (which has a very different infrastructure). But if one takes resale value or long time reinvestments into account, I don't think wood houses are that much cheaper, even in the US, as a percentage of the overall investment.

It is like these morons are constantly surprised each time they discover that public services cost money.

Even worse. They are too dumb to understand that essential services and workers are essential.

How is that relevant now?

Yeah, but the dentist will still get paid and he will also get filthy rich in Germany. The joke works in Germany just as well as in the US...

And still students disliking genocide are the antisemites according to AIPAC and co.

Tbh money could be the initiative. So many content creators nowadays have platforms beside YouTube. Often even self hosted weboages. If a federated alternative would come up, they could just set up an own server and keep all the earnings.

This would somehow need to get started though. No idea how.

They didn't capitulate. They never fought. They just did what was the best shot at earning money and gaining ground at the time.

Don't ever expect moral based behavior in capitalism or geopolitics.

Haha, the chat system? That will be a shitshow. Oh my, thank you dessalines@lemmy.ml for creating an alternative. :)

Lol, first I hear about paid subreddits (I am not much on reddit since they ended 3rd party apps). This might actually be the end of reddit, if they are really that dumb.
