the gov set a minimum wage which they expect us to live on yet hard working people are still forced to use food banks.maybe they should award themselves the min wage?

I think it's becoming hipster chic to go to foodbanks, kind of like punk squatters were cool.

It's as if you have just woken up reminding me of PG "Wait a minute" XD
Frustrating isn't it. Even more frustrating to be in world were the elite think having more paper makes them more important and entitled to abuse the poor. When in fact in my understanding we are all equal for we are all spirits driving a prison of temporary flesh, we are all family but separated by flesh, blood, veins, muscle and bone as a vinear for our soul. Let not your heart be troubled with overly proud gorilla like mobsters. Wait it out and don't fall for their new agenda.

The concept in itself is wrong.
It shouldn't have to be "us" and "them". Empowering ourselves is hard.
We are the ones who put up with mediocre.
We let ourselves to absorb the brainwashing.
It starts with one. But we believe too less in the power we have. We think we can't change much.
If one succeeds to be changing himself (and it is a never ending process and not a result) - it isn't much?
If yes, then one thinks that he/she is not enough.
This is the root of the issue. Nobody keep nothing to nobody.
Governments are people. So are the politicians or the wealthy or any other kind of "them".

This is just my own humble opinion.

I don't see how they owe anything to society they get their money by selling things of value or investing in things that will produce value.

True but they'd be cunts to not feel like they owed the game something and we're all players too mate.

Problem is the referees not the players. Whoever is in charge of giving out basic income becomes the slave master.

Gamespace is the perfect analogy for the new economy. I don't think shit will be needed from the rich its almost like they are the slaves and we are playing them to figure shit out for us.

Interesting perspective. But some of them get rich by playing out the poor.

If you are online all the time doesn't matter a hell of a lot how much money you have.

Whose zooming who

Yet you're still here :)

Prices are actually better here than California recreational shops.

He's Bojack, he's lonely.

Can not fucking imagine that

Here is an interview with the founding father

It's an interesting governance system, taxes are voluntary but the more you pay the more votes you get.

So a perfectly corrupt society then

That's the thang, it's not corruption it's straight up.

Replace votes with campaign contributions and you are describing the united states.

“If you have enough collateral to pay for the damage that you have created, you might not even go to jail because the people that you have hurt could be compensated from your collateral,”

Replace "Pay for the damage you have created" with "Pay your lawyers" and you are describing the United States. :)

Sorry but we Europeans just don't get it. Instead of doing anything with their "liberties" the 1st thing they do is form a bureaucracy.

Without bureaucracy they won't have anything to wine about.

Medical grade ought to mean that every batch has the same, verified, potency like bedrocan for example. But mostly it's just a buzzword to lure buyers in, like any other advertising..

I think there is no actual rule or firm line between medical grade or commercial grade cannabis.

Medical grade normally refers to cannabis that is consumed to treat a condition or alleviate symptoms and is generally grown/produced by a registered, known producer. I guess for control purposes.

Many say it has to be organic or certain potency, but I think it just personal opinions.

If you don't know the vendor/grower/producer personally there is a high chance cannabis can be contaminated with anything ranging from pesticides, chemical fertilisers, etc., etc.

To me it is a touchy subject, as it totally depends on personal consciousness.

So, unless, I grow it myself, it is not medical grade to me. A gamble each time I purchase.

More to be grateful and thankful to those vendors in LB who are true to cannabis itself and cannabis culture.

It's bollocks like every other term. Reviews, ratings or reputation of the vendor are the terms that count.

Zeffaluva is the cheapest here.

amen

Anderson's has great prices.

probably the best "bang for buck" among USA LB vendors

And great quality to boot.

ocannabis is another good choice for discounted product.

It's not much of a moral responsibility, and it shouldn't be. People don't become these roles just to protect people from the government. It's rather inevitable that we'll never achieve full privacy.

Yeah it's an infinite loop of cat and mouse i reckon

It seems Tim Cook is taking it pretty seriously and I applaud him. Apple is in the position to help freedom in a way but no politician could ever accomplish because technology is the enabler of human progress.

I'm not so sure of this, technology is what allows all the surveillance to begin with. To take things to the extreme think of primitive people with no technology and the freedom to do whatever they want, put anything in their bodies, go wherever they please, etc.

Lol he says he would simply hand the phone to the NSA

This guy actually compares the situation to the moral responsibility of nuclear scientists in the 1940s. I think this isn't quite a parallel not so much because of the stakes but because he is asking people to go beyond their jobs and become activists where as the 1940s guys (including Einstein) were petitioning existing leaders.

Those 40s scientists were up against something inevitable so they could only stall things a bit, this lot can actually enable.

You don't think twats stealing people's data is inevitable?
