Why does almost every post in Technology have some comment trying to bring up the “capitalism bad” topic in some way?
Are you trying to say that Communism would have done a better job?
We’ve already seen how that has played out a few times already.

Is this the same guy that’s recorded on those robocalls who’s always asking for donations?

Personally I’m more of a fan of Approval Voting since it’s effective and the easiest to explain/implement.

Otherwise STAR voting is really good. Lastly I would take RCV since that is at least better than what we currently have.

I think you’re misunderstanding what the Forward Party is. You can be a part of any side of the political spectrum and still fall in line with the Forward Party.

The only thing that the Forward Party cares about is overhauling the voting system with something better: RCV, Star, Approval, etc.

They don’t take a stance on much of anything else.

And in terms of priority, any candidate endorsed by the Forward Party has my initial vote. If multiple candidates in the same race are backed by the forward party, then I will start digging in deeper to figure out which one I want to vote for.

My plan is to vote in candidates at all levels that are endorsed by The Forward Party.

We need to overhaul our voting system so that we’re not trapped in this downward spiral of a 2 party system that we’re currently in. Ranked Choice voting, Star voting, Approval voting… they all have pros and cons but any one of them is better than the current system that we have.

The way we get better options for Presidential candidates is to have a voting system that gives other parties a chance.

I don’t care if I have to vote for a particular Republican, Democrat, or some third party individual for this to be accomplished. Following the trend of “vote out all Republicans/Democrats” is how we got here in the first place.

Don’t forget the boots with the fur.

From the article:

The cause of his death was not immediately clear.

The confusion part:

State media maintained that rescue efforts were ongoing, but conflicting reports emerged regarding the status of the passengers. Some sources claimed contact had been established with one passenger and a crew member, while others denied this.

The incident also raised questions about the cause of the crash. While initial reports blamed bad weather, the possibility of technical malfunction or even foul play could not be ruled out. The Iranian government remained tight-lipped, further adding to the confusion.

I feel like I read news about these floods every few years.

The problem is that a lot of these homes are cheap/affordable because they are built in flood zones.

A handful of shares don’t really mean much in terms of having a say in the company.

With Mondragón, is the voting based on the number of individuals in a company, or is it based on the number of shares that an individual owns?

The article didn’t go into detail in how much of a say each employee has (or maybe I missed it?).

Even if it is votes based on the number of employees, in a company like Mondragón (with 70,000 other employees) wouldn’t you still say that a single vote doesn’t “mean much in terms of having a say in the company?”

It feels like this would work very well in companies with a smaller number of employees, but the fact that a large company like this is successful with this model is a good sign.

A model where all of the employees own shares in the company.

More than its economic success, though, Mondragón has become a beacon for the co-operative model, as a more humane and egalitarian way of doing business that puts “people over capital”. Every worker has a stake in the company’s fortunes and a say in how it is run, and receives a share of the profits. But the goal is more about creating “rich societies, not rich people”. That means looking after workers during not only the good times but the tough times, too.

Link inside this article, at least 94 people have died from sedatives when restrained by police from 2012 to 2021.

Would be interesting to note how many people have been given sedatives at all when restrained by police… averaging 9-10 deaths/year should definitely cause us to rethink the viability and even legality of this practice.
