I think their point was that in a way, patents are supposed to be more equitable because it allows the inventor to meet their basic needs by being the one to invent the patent.

There's also the argument that while innovation skyrockets after a parent opens up, there would be less incentive to invent new things if Walmart could just copy it for cheaper the day after you show how you make it.

Or people would be super secretive with instructions for how to make their products that innovations could die with their creators since they have no incentive to release it.

Nah, you'd probably want to do some research into who is the one actually funding people like trump and who in the U.S. government is fomenting these forever wars that are funding the war lobby.

Trump and Elon are the mouthpieces and distractions for where the real money is coming from.

Saw a funny continuation where the dogs first wish is for them to swap bodies and his second wish is that the person couldn't talk.

Yeah, man, let's get back to talking about it. Like we were doing. Just sittin around, talking about it, while more and more of this list happened. And then we just kept on talkin. That's what we need to get back to, suddenly, no one's talking about it. That's the problem.

Yeah smash destroys the hands of 30 years olds in the scene.

What I'm looking forward to in retirement is finally cracking into games like Dwarf Fortress, Factorio, and Caves of Qud

Kind of a bad argument. "Look up sewage cleaner in India" implies that there are sewage cleaners elsewhere with better jobs. Making the problem with being a sewage cleaner in India a bad condition.

Ironically I agree with you. Some jobs are way better than others, making some jobs bad and some good. A garbage man will always be a worse job than an ice cream taste tester barring absurd caveats. it's just funny to me that your argument explicitly implies a problem with job conditions.

It hits for me when I'm typing it out and I can already read the braindead response they're going to type and I don't want to spend another 2 paragraphs preempting the obvious response and I definitely don't want to wait a few hours/days to explain why they're still wrong.

Lots of maga people are going to find out quickly that a major function of government jobs and social welfare programs are to redistribute wealth from the rich cities to the country.

Do you just pronounce it like "Travises" like we do colloquially? Or is there some way to do it.

Ah yes, the dream to have less fun and be less fulfilled but make a lot of money. And then do... What exactly was the goal again?
