No there aren’t.

Did it fail though? China is doing pretty well and by most metrics Russia is doing worse post communism.


Like your family with your dad’s military job?


Where do you think the money comes from to pay for the military?


America was the number one economy while having state enforced segregation.


Not at all surprised that despite your years of railing against socialism your dad was in the military. A true free market would provide for its own defense, not steal from taxpayers.


We have had the capacity to produce more stuff than we can consume for almost a century now. Take cars for example. We could easily produce one for every man woman and child. If someone can’t afford a car it isn’t because we can’t make it, it is because we have decided not to make it.

This isn’t a production problem, it is a social problem.


>If someone can’t afford a car it isn’t because we can’t make it, it is because we have decided not to make it.

Its because the person making the car doesn't want to make one for someone who isn't making something of equal value in return. It makes them a sucker for being the one to make the car.

You cannot legislate, policy change, indoctrinate, or force your way around this. It's why all attempts to do so always have failed. Every single time. Always.

The only way to create actual value is to put in actual work.


We can't afford to make a car for every single person. It's catastrophic to our urban fabric.


Not really surprising that a rails shop is going to have a easier time with rails than react.


Not a Rails shop. We did React and Node almost exclusively for 6 or more years. My first React project started in 2014 or so. I mentioned this in several comments. We had done Rails in the distant past, but using Rails was actually a risk for us because there were things we knew how to do with React from recent experience we would have to learn for Rails server rendering.


That is why I no longer have membership at commercial gyms. Drive the extra 5 minutes to go to the county rec center.


Right back at you. You are the one making this an ideological battle which is clearly against the guidelines. This is a place for curiosity, not ideological witch hunts.


Forum 101: someone who posted flamebait cannot blame those who got baited for flamebaiting. Both are problematic, but the baiter is responsible for raising the temperature.


Falsely accusing someone sharing their perspective of starting a flame is very not appropriate. Please don’t do that.


They brought up religion, please don't do that let's stick to reality.


Please don’t respond to days old comments with the intention of starting an argument. Hacker news is about curious discussion.
