  • What we need to think about is how this works practically. A billionaire isn't someone with a billion dollars in their bank account: it's someone with a 50% share in a business with a market cap of $2bn. How do we address that fairly?

    Now I'd say that a business with a certain level of profitability owes something to its employees, such that very few businesses would reach that level of capitalisation.

  • it's just a suggestion
  • Thing is, there's no way I could become a billionaire. If I were amassing money that quickly, it would be because I wasn't paying my people enough.

    The difference between billionaires and the rest of us is that we see that as a problem, they see it as the system working.

    !Boris Johnson's memoirs in a stack reduced from £30 to £15

    £15 is still a bit much though isn't it?

    Enshitification hits Postman. POSTMAN!

    community.postman.com Collections in lightweight client

    In regards to the topic that has been closed recently: Collections not displayed after update - #8 by danny-dainton So how exactly does one use collections now for people who literally can’t connect the postman client to an account (login = literally impossible)? Exporting my settings is all well ...

    Collections in lightweight client

    I'm a bit late to the party here because I haven't needed Postman for a while, but how is it okay that now we have to LOG IN TO POSTMAN and send our API requests to them for them to store on their own cloud?

    Discussion: Where are all the dystopias?

    Thanks to the glorious shovelling of Classic Who onto BBC IPlayer, I have been enjoying a glut of mid-80s classic Who.

    It struck me how many of the CBaker-McCoy era stories are dystopian tales, reflecting the pro-establishment neo-captialist society that the writers felt was being inflicted on them.

    Varos, Paradise Towers and Terra Alpha (of Happiness Patrol) are obvious examples; Necros (Revelation of the Daleks) and is a particularly nasty one. Even Trial of a Timelord was, at its heart, a tale of authoritarianism and narrative control.

    Modern Britain is clearly in another phase like the 80s. If anything, the authoritarianism is more extreme, and the government's avarice more naked.

    So where are the writers' reactions to that nowadays? Whenever the show has recently attempted to address societal issues, it has been either a direct sermon like Orphan 55 or an incompetent muddle like Kerblam.

    Where are the dystopias?
