the house can only make $1 per play, and the bettor can make a functionally unlimited amount.
see the martingale strategy. you are basically sticking the house with a martingale strategy in which you get to decide when they bet.
lots of people talk about economics as though it is science.
it’s storytelling, not science
“basic economic principles” is handwaving. you’re storytelling, not making a scientific postulate
Laws are made entirely on morals.
this has never been true
the vast majority of the soybean product that is fed to animals is the byproduct of producing soybean oil. feeding animals industrial waste is a good use of it.
I didn’t even touch on all the deforestation
the paper does, and it’s deeply flawed. no one should trust these over simplifications of our vastly complex agricultural systems.
that’s without accounting for the feed
it’s not, and the methodology is flawed.
i thoguht it was copypasta
the sources on that paper are labyrinthine, but i recall pulling up the water use for cattle out of it, and they attributed all of the water used in the production of all the food given to cattle to the production of the cattle, which might make sense if you don’t think about it for even a few seconds more. we know that there are things that we grow that we use, and then discard other parts. maybe crop “seconds”; that is things that we grew thinking we would eat it but we pulled it to early or too late or mashed it up pretty bad during harvest or whatever. we are actually conserving water use by feeding these things to cattle, but it isn’t credited to cattle, it’s counted against their total water use.
that was just the water use for california dairy cattle. if even 10% of the study is done this sloppily, how much do you trust that study?
that image is based on poore-nemecek 2018 which has terrible methodology.
and to what end? what is the purpose here? spreading spurious and undisprovable accusations is pointless when people can undermine them just by pointing out the nature of the accusation.
the evidence suggests otherwise
you must support your own position.
the courts are still part of the trappings of legitimacy.
the state must protect the private property claims.
corporatism is indistiguishable from fascism. when corporations rule the state, the state’s interests include the maintaining of the corporatocracy, and the corporations serve the state. every social institution becomes subsumed either by the state directly or by corporate interests directly, but regardless of which expression of power seizes the institution, they are serving the fascists state.
