RE: The Great Downvote Debate...
I feel like anonymous downvoting would be another can of worms to deal with but, I absolutely agree with you @sepracore, that minnows do not use downvoting because of the fear of retaliation and having

There are some smoke and mirrors with the presentation and understanding of corporations. In reality, as you know, a "corporation" as it exists to day is a government creation (the fiat decree

Decentralized authorities to displace the centralized city authority would be the ideal solution. When a city's population gets large enough, it is no longer a city... it is effectively a state... and

The only real "jobs" any human performs are eating, sleeping, procreating, protecting offspring... and any tasks in support of those primary ones. The ideal outcome is that robots which

I think you have a good grasp of these issues @crytp.piotr. Obviously no one can predict or say what will happen precisely but, I look at the trends and I am not too alarmed by them. I recently began work
