World News@lemmy.world•Princess Aiko's popularity sparks calls to change Japan's male-only succession lawEnglish
224·7 天前Whilst I agree in principle (since hereditary monarchies are inherently anti-meritocratic), there is actually a strong argument for constitutional and apolitical figurehead monarchs (i.e mostly powerless). They serve as something of an antidote to cults of personality and can also act as a uniting force in times of crisis.
Ah my bad @Yots92@lemmy.world please tag your post appropriately!
As I scroll lemmy at work sometimes - and this (quite literally) is not safe for work, please tag it.

Asklemmy•I'm new to lemmy, came from reddit. What's the lemmy etiquette like? How different is it from reddiqutte?

Rule 2: follow rule 1
A lot of the benefits people associate with capitalism require a free market. The US problem is that the megacorps have gotten sufficiently powerful to abolish that free market through regularory (and legal) capture, enabling entrenched monopolies.

Ice@lemmy.worldtoHacker News@lemmy.bestiver.se•Nearly all UK drivers say headlights are too brightEnglish
5·21 天前To a certain extent they already do this, and it isn’t enough. Coming over a crest, reflections, poor adjustment or slight bumps in the road will cause opposing traffic to be blinded.

News@lemmy.world•Trump says he'll issue $2,000 tariff dividend to all except 'high-income people'

Someone in the US care to explain?
As a regular Swede I will say that Finnish swear words hit differently. More oomph in them xD

politics @lemmy.world•There's 'overwhelming evidence' tariffs have raised consumer prices, says Bank of America
22·1 个月前…yes, that is the purpose of tariffs. Raising prices on imported goods until they become so expensive that local goods are competitive. This automatically increases consumer prices. It causes a huge shock upon introduction and over time it (in theory anyway) should promote domestic production by undercutting foreign competition.

Ice@lemmy.worldtoEconomics@lemmy.world•Top economist on the economy’s dirty truth: The only people who feel good are ‘making over $200,000’ and ‘have large stock portfolios’
41·1 个月前Even in the screwed up US system there’s something wrong if you’re struggling to break even with a 200k income. That’s a household income in the 84th percentile for the US, or the top 2% globally (adjusting for PPP).

Neat - For neat stuff you found@lemmy.world•Ireland paid artists a basic income and it was a boost for the economyEnglish
12·1 个月前instead of stimulating the economy, they’ll just speculate with the cash
That is also stimulation of the economy, although a terrible way of doing it and (at least in my opinion) leads to a worse situation even if economic activity increases. Bad money injection, causing misallocation of funds, is always worse than just doing nothing for the vast majority of people. Asset speculation drives risky capital ventures that try to find a way to monetize and squeeze more profit out of literally everything.
Throwing money at artists is… meh. I’d rather see it put to something more useful. Teachers, more staff at kindergardens, better healthcare…

51·1 个月前If you’re living paycheck to paycheck on a $200k household income, it sounds like you might want to rethink your budget.

57·1 个月前No shit sherlock, that’s what injecting money into the economy does, almost irrespectively of who gets it (yes, even stupidly rich people). Then there’s better and worse ways of doing it.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Over 5,000 games released on Steam this year didn't make enough money to recover the $100 fee to put a game on Valve's store, research estimatesEnglish
11·2 个月前If you’re just looking for critiques there’s plenty of other spaces to post your product. 100USD for the outreach & services steam provide a developer is actually quite cheap in western countries. I could see it being more difficult in parts of the world with lower purchasing power though unless they have some regional pricing scheme.
