In a previous thread with a similar topic @blibla@[email protected] linked a study that actually was able to support this claim: https://digitalcommons.newhaven.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2018&context=americanbusinessreview

thanks

tldr: the study links crime(categorized into violent and property crime) to a net benefit of the people living in the neighborhood through having more money available. I did not read it fully so please correct me if im wrong.

Does it tho? And even if it does, arent there ways to keep housing prices low with less downsides? I would be sincerely interested in examples where this actually worked.

Just in case someone wants more context:

This is the “Amazon tower” in Berlin, a huge (for Berlin) office building that will be mainly/exclusively used by Amazon and this sparked some protests.

I dont have an idea for them, but I call dips on the windshield wipers

I judge people on plenty of things that are legal. You probably do it too

Interesting how many different (not so charitable) interpretation of this comic exist in thr comments.

To me this of course a simplification, as its a comic and was postes in !memes

In my opinion this comic shows how nationalism can be used to pit the working class against each other even tho their class interests are pretty similar, no matter which side of the border they are.

Collectively we should be able to care about multiple things at once and also prioritze between them.

Even if data centers use mostly renewables, its not like those are actually so abundant that they would go unused. Its important to not just switch power generation but to actually also reduce power consumption, especially when its such low hanging fruits as AI.

100% I also dont want to be landlord by proxy.

As a vegan, I also want a good live for all the pigs out there

I reported the troll and moved on, I think my priorities are actually in a good place. I think its annoying that my open questions gets constructed as defending bigotry, but I guess its not easy to assume good faith on the internet.

I called a (maybe not) comrade out for their violent and authoritarian delusions. If that counts as defending someone who made a racist and factually wrong comment, I think I stay away from your crowd. Might get shot and stuff

You are on the list now, get ready to get purged because of one comment in which you questioned the holy revolution /s

You are literally thinking about executing someone because of ONE comment they made and somehow act as if that is going to safe the world. Its just ridiculous.

I am in no way or form against violent revolution, insurrection, riots, antifascist violence, self defense or plain revenge. But you just said that someone deserved to be executed because of one comment. Idk how a world where this is possible is something worth fighting for and I guess in the end, we wont be on the same side after all.

Why is it so easy for you to talk about executing someone?

I agree, but for me there is a difference between being productive and work. I want to feel productive, helpful, effective, feel the impact of my actions etc. but to me that is something different from work.

So i guess its mostly a semantic difference?

Comes down to what is work for you. Work for me is what I do for my employer and that is actually not done for the benefit of society but for their profit. I think I would have a better impact on society if I did not work and instead just did the things that needed to be done. Cleaning the neighborhood, helping friends and neighboors, building things that need to be build, cooking food for strangers and comrades etc…

If your work is niche, then you can get a higher pay rate and work less hours because you are in greater demand.

While it might work that way currently, I dont think its really desirable to have some people work way less than others based on skill. I dont think me being a software developer should result in me having more free time than the health care worker.

How about 0 hours for work?

On other platforms like Twitter and Mastodon the block functionality is pretty helpful. Using block lists improves the experience of those that get most often targeted tremendously.
