Thank you! I envy your imagination though in thinking that the red cross can donate the blood plasma to hospitals while also paying the donors a bunch of money. Seems like it would cut into the other important work the red cross does just so they can compete with for profit companies that sell the plasma to the highest bidder where it goes to tech companies wasting it on fake anti-aging cures. But what do I know.
So you’re saying it’s better that you donate plasma to companies that sell it to silicon valley bros at the highest bidder than donating for free to the red cross and having it going to a hospital?
Boy Boy made a great video about this. A lot of the blood is actually going towards silicon valley tech billionaires who think other peoples blood can cure aging. Companys also sell the blood at a profit so it’s not like they’re actually better than the red cross who give the blood to actual hospitals. There is a reason we don’t allow people to sell their organs. Giving too much plasma can be dangerous. It shouldn’t be any different.
Because she recently said she was going to sue the person tracking her plane. Idk I kind of think we should hold billionaires accountable for being shitty people.
Many people in the US also live in food deserts where easy access to healthy food IS a luxuary due to simply not being able to buy it where they live or work.
There is a difference between use value and exchange value
Yeah but the way you said made it seem that value (exchange value according to Marx) is determined by cultural factors, thus making it untrue. The debate around labour theory of value have existed since the 19th century.
How is it culturally biased? It’s a theory of how exchange value functions within capitalism
Considering they gave him the nobel peace prize I have to assume there is someone out there that really hates us.
Yes, because everything must always be literal and if something is not words just don’t have meaning anymore /s
You do realize Hamas is the result of Israeli apartheid and occupation? They even helped create it. Israel has been bombing Gaza for years and Hamas doesn’t seem to get any weaker. Your argument is just a way for you to keep moving the goal posts towards complete genocide.
So when the Hamas murders children in Israel they are terrorists but when the IDF does the same thing in Gaza it’s “civilians die in war”. You either have to be really stupid or cruel to make this argument work in your head. Probably both.
Nah I’m saying you have less moral understanding than most basic hollywood movies.
This reminds me of that movie where the bad guy takes a bunch of hostages as a human shield and the good guy just kills all of them so he can kill the bad guy. Wait… that never happens
What an insane justification for genocide
West: “A little bit of genocide is fine but too much and you might make the rest of us look bad”
Maybe take a couple of deep breaths and calm down before you post on the internet? It’s an example of self-governed autonomous and democratic communities. If you disagree with that maybe you can explain why it’s wrong instead of throwing a fit. Also, maybe you should read up more on what you’re talking about because you didn’t even use the correct name nor seem to know the meaning of the word Subcommandante.
You can use FOSS without knowing how to code though. I wasn’t completely serious I know Marx didn’t predict FOSS but I do think it’s an example of how the means of production being shared could look like. It would be great if that also included open hardware as well.
Edit: I realize it means the workers doesn’t actually own the means of production but it’s a step in that direction and I don’t think it contradicts what Marx said is my point.
Marx wasn’t a technological determinist though. He believed that a workers revolution would bring the end of capitalism. He even thought it would happen druing his lifetime.
The fees the red cross charges is the costs related to the blood collection. It’s a non-profit organisation.
