No serious health problems and make enough money to not be homeless and have minor luxuries.
As soon as I get cancer or some serious health issue, or about to be homeless, c’est la vie and good fucking riddance.

When did I say they weren’t lol
Awwwwww!
Are all the capitalists afraid of some friendly capitalist competition!?
32 HOUR WORK WEEK

I cant stress this enough. Fuck 4x10s.
Gov’t should seize this website, make it a public utility, and put musk in prison.
Very good.
Lock this fucker up and throw away the key.
Dry ass pussy son.
But love is love I guess¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Close, but incorrect.
The prophet Muhammad married his wife Aisha when she was 6 years old.
He started raping her when she was 9. They call it “consummation”.
Why do they always have to attack random innocent people? Can the crazies go after some billionaires for a change?
Can’t read the article without registering.
Billionaires need more tax breaks and more yachts. Nothing to see here.
The downvotes are meh, I’ve made similar comments that got more upvoted. Lemmy is a fickle beast and probably depends on the crowd at the time and their mood or the article or whatever.
You’re correct, I was not saying this is good by any means. I want the profit motive removed from everything healthcare related. I was just giving an exaggerated simple example of how the capitalist profit motive could (and arguably does) work in some instances.
We can speculate very easily.
There’s a trade-off, cost-benefit analysys. If a disease is so catastrophic that it kills everyone fast, well you’re not gonna make profit off them ever, because they die. Cure this one.
What about diseases that can be controlled somewhat, and only affect small amounts of the population? What if for them to stay alive they have to stay on a regular concoction of expensive pharmaceuticals either forever or for a long time? And they can still go to work? Why cure this, out of altruism? That’s not how capitalism works.
Let’s just say, for shits and giggles, we could cure immediately the common cold and mild influenza, forever. No more cough and cold over the counter medicine needed, much less pain and fever reducers. Local pharmacies don’t need to stock this stuff anymore. The companies that produce and sell these are all tied to wallstreet. Getting colds doesn’t stop you from working (or buying/consuming). Shit, I work with “men” who are “tough” who never call out of work sick because “I’m not a pussy” (cultural hardwork ethic propaganda nonsense).
Etc., etc. You get my point.
If there’s profit to be made treating HIV/AIDS symptoms without curing, the profit motive health industry won’t like this. Solve the problem, their profits go away.
It’ll get worse, or even way worser than worse.
Yeah that makes sense. I’ll experiment with other servers.
Is this before or after we sent a shitload of bombs for the IDF to use on poor emaciated children and homeless people in palestine?
It’s not just “biden being biden” by a longshot. He is 81 and significantly worse.
We are rightly worried he’s going to lose against trump.
His plan is to hand you over to putin on a silver platter, for free.
I love chatgpt, and am dumbfounded at all the AI hate on lemmy. I use it for work. It’s not perfect, but helps immensely with snippets of code, as well as learning STEM concepts. Sometimes I’ve already written some code that I remember vaguely, but it was a long time ago and I need to do it again. The time it would take to either go find my old code, or just research it completely again, is WAY longer than just asking chatgpt. It’s extremely helpful, and definitely faster for what I’d already have to do.
I guess it depends on what you use it for ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
I hope it continues to improve. I hope we get full open source. If I could “teach” it to do certain tasks someday, that would be friggin awesome.
