Realized what a bubble I must be in today. Had a lift in a car today with a friend who knows quite a lot of the Westminster MP crowd, has been in the Labour party for decades, and is generally well-versed in politics. He didn't know what a gammon was and thought it was a term I had made up, nor an incel. He asked me what 'woke' meant and had never heard the term 'social justice warrior'. Obviously we hang around in completely different circles! I guess he is more typical of the average 'politically informed' people than maybe we are.

Trickjaw posted:Bingo. Nightmare mate, I was in a similar situation when my partner's dad was our landlord. It was lovely for the (relatively) cheap rent for the area, but of course having someone you have a personal relationship with have absolute control over your housing can lead down some pretty unpleasant roads, especially if like me you had no formal rental contract or any legal protections. In our case he decided he wanted the flat back with a few months notice despite it being our home for six or seven years and there was gently caress all we could do about it. Thankfully we've managed to find another place and it's pretty nice, but especially with the pandemic we were kinda in the poo poo for a good few months and it's sometimes hard not to hold a grudge. Informal renting from family/friends often looks like a really great deal at first, but I'd seriously suggest anyone in that position to very carefully consider whether it's worth it if they have a choice in the matter, because your living arrangements have basically zero security. I hope you get something sorted soon though, even if I can't offer any specific advice.

Well there's a lot of reasons you might go for a settlement. One of them is if you're a massive pedo who doesn't like jail

Why bother parceling it out by country? That's outdated nation-state thinking for a transglobalized future. Just do it based on residence and making use of.

Convex posted:This is when one simply legalises slavery and trades people as a commodity I'd argue the current economy is actually rather better for capitalists than slavery was - you had to keep slaves fed and clothed even when there wasn't work for them to do, but zero-hours contracts get round that little inconvenience.

how much is a lateral flow test going to cost? Like 7 in a box at the price of the ones you had to buy for travel is over £100 a box.

if you sell your slaves you can't ring them up and give them half an hour's notice to get into work or they're getting no more shifts this week

Oh dear me posted:No, you didn't. You could sell them. (Or let them starve for that matter, but selling them more profitable.) Not really, almost all slave labour was in agriculture, and that's pretty rigidly cyclical. Selling all your slaves once harvest was over, when nobody wanted any, and then buying them back in spring, when everyone wants them, isn't really that practical. Same problem with letting them starve - you needed strong backs, and (most) slave owners were sensible enough to realise that having them drop dead in the field half way through the sowing season because you let them starve over winter was a pretty expensive way of doing things. Obviously slavery as practiced in Rome or Nazi Germany was rather different but even then reliant on a solid, constant stream of new conquests to keep the labour supply up. See also constant chivvying away at the welfare state to ensure there's always lots of desperate people willing to work at not-quite-subsistence wages.

There are "express" PCR services near me that look to be private ventures, charging up to £70 per test. It's still 24hrs before you get a result just like going to a free one though, so no idea what makes them express.

Call me crazy but I feel like if privatization schemes were capable on delivering on some vague promise of solving inequality and poverty, it would've done so on Earth already where even the water is privately owned. In fact I feel like somebody already nailed down what enclosure is, its likely future course, and the implications therein quite a long time ago, I wonder why nobody has tried using the stuff he talked about as the basis for one of these articles
