Yeah I like the sentiment, but no Chernobyl absolutely did not have such a small effect. Minimizing these things, especially when so well known, just fucks up our position. Reality denial isn't an effective way to advocate or to make people aware of the horrors of capitalism. All it does is train the average person to assume left wing points are childishly exaggerated. This is, in part, why capitalist propaganda is so easy.
Here we just accept the official number and ignore all other effects. If we took the same path with the Bhopaal disaster, we'd have to ignore all the non-fatal poisonings and believe uncritically the official instant death count of just over 2,200 ignoring any deaths to come afterwards. That would be stupid
Chernobyl was a terrible disaster that harmed an absurd amount of people, de-homed thousands, and damaged the ecosystem of the wider area. Its effects and danger are still present to this day and could have been much, much worse if not for the work of those who fixed the massive fuck up.
Both the Bhopal disaster and the Chernobyl disaster were bred by incompetence, corruption, and a general failure to care for the worker and the general population.
Now, if we were to keep a leaderboard, capitalism wins by many miles in the awfulness department. That's the note we should take, that's the drum we should beat.
It wasn't socialism that caused Chernobyl. If the workers, those who built and conceived of the soviet nuclear reactors, were in charge they would have put in the safe guards they advocated for well before this disaster. They were not allowed to and the consequence was a meltdown. That's why we should give the power to the worker. The Bhopal disaster? Capital was the determiner for who had power, and those in power caused the disaster. It was the fault of capitalism as capitalism was allowed to build Union Carbide with little in its way.

Creates the list and puts it into a file called policy. One of the largest issues is that the list isn't even in the repository. Its gotten while the we app is running, and not readily available
Alternative idea if you want a more capitalist solution than government owned and distributed housing would be mandated rent to own. End of year, current owner tallies up all expenses, anything over is used to purchase equity at market rate. You either sell the equity when you move, or eventually own the place. No landlords just a delayed title transfer.
Of course this wouldn't solve the fact that housing is a human right that all should have access to but any capitalist solution requires a "loser" to suffer some form of horror
Not at all to be honest. My last farm is at that stage where money doesn't matter and no challanges seem interesting. Next run will have to be a co-op.
Nah there's a coffin in the game dark souls 2 that changes the player characters gender. I didn't know that's what it did until it was already done. I could have swapped back, but I thought it was fun. Played a girl since. With armour on the aesthetics are normally the same anybow.
Had no idea the female player model was quicker though. That is awesome
If I can I always play souls likes as a woman. I'm perfectly comfortable as a man, but dark souls 2 stole my gender.
Mind you, I didn't know until I googled "coffin that shaves your facial hair" as before this I was playing as Mr cleans evil twin but from that point forward it's buff bald ladies first, followed by elderly ladies if I sl1 the game or its equivalent.
Boy does he have a tooter
Let's not do that. That's kinda creepy. I really hope we don't get those e-stalker communities that follow random posters
I really like your leaves here
Fuck that's pretty
Yes!
I prefer this one
