Reply to comment by Sweaty-Willingness27 in [OC] Fatal Police Shootings in the US: Racial disparities. In absence of racial differences, the probability of fatal police encounters would be the same across racial groups. It is not. Black/African Americans are 4.5 times more likely to have a fatal encounter with the police than Asian Americans. by HitchHux
Actually, the FBI victimization surveys, where victims report the race of the offender (even if they never got caught), show the same proportions as the arrest records.

But that wouldn't push the proper agenda.

I understand that if I get in a ship and travel 90% the speed of light, time slows down for me and I come back to everybody else being old as hell.
Yet what about the fact that Earth moving away from me at 90% the speed of light? Wouldn't it theoretically be "returning" back to me, and therefore experience the same slowdown of time?
Or is it acceleration that is important? That since I felt acceleration and Earth did not, that is why my time dialates and the Earth does not?

It's hilarious how you guys act like diversity is a great thing until it's politically inconvenient. Suddenly diversity doesn't mean shit.

As an engineer, I don't view that as very hard. On the list of technological "leaps" it's way down the list.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in [OC] Rise in U.S. Consumer Price Index Compared to Last Year by Metalytiq
Not maybe, definitely. It would reduce the product to currency ratio and make prices go up.
Who would ever volunteer to be a CEO if they might be "dragged to the street for a public trial" if enough people are not satisfied with their lot in life? Very few. So how would you entice them? By raising their salaries. So if you think their salaries are too high now, just wait until some of them get taken out in show trials.

I'm not making that up, BTW. It's been studied a lot. It may be profitable to the person holding the slave, but not to society.
And that is not my only reason. Or even the primary one. The primary reason slavery should be banned is that it infringes on rights. Money does not infringe on rights.

First of all, slaves were not use to build the pyramids.
Secondly, slaves make an economy worse not better. That is why the south was much more poor than the north in the US in the 1800s.
So while slaves are NOT helpful to society, money is DAMN useful to society. We should therefore keep money and ban slavery.

This is all 100% nonsense. Capitalism is merely freedom. The ability for us to do what we want with our own time and property. There is no "end game" or any of that crap.

Why? Money is fucking useful for society. Even illiterate people thousands of years had that figured out. Without it, we'd still need living like cave men. It's might me the most beneficial invention of all time.

You would need something like a SCOTUS (that actually does their job) too. If a state tried to change the law to say the police could search any home at any time, then the SCOTUS should shut that down. Of course, if everybody in government just ignored it, the the constitution would have no teeth nor a purpose. But of course the society would quickly go down the shitter too.
