@mk What are you talking about, I answered this already here as a reply:

@mk The original post is about wealth not being a 0-sum game. No matter how much some have that does not imply others had to have less for them to have more.

To put that in simple language. If the whole world had only two people, and one had X wealth, the other Y wealth, it is possible (and in fact fairly common ) that both values can increase over time. In otherwords, everyone can get more wealth without anyone loosing wealth. Over time that has overwhelmingly been the case as is evident by the fact that we arent still living in caves.

@mk Regardless if thats true or not, it still isnt about the OP. I have no objection discussing the bigger problem, but that would deserve its own thread, not hijacking one of an unrelated topic.

@mk

Ok. still not related to the OP though.

@mk

Ok, not sure why you keep insisting on a topic that isnt what the OP is about.

@mk

Ok, 4 points that have nothing to do with the fact I stated, and doesnt change the fact that what I said is true.

To your 4 points I am not saying they arent real concerns, they are conversations in and of themself worth having.. But you, as people often do, are blinded by trying to argue "Wealthy people are bad" which just pushes you onto unrelated topics since my argument is not "wealthy people are good".

@TruthSandwich Nah, thats not what the math says.. That said there **are** issues where bad people with money cause those effects (and it should be addressed).. but to claim it is the direct result of moneyt distribution is just not in line with the reality. The truth is much more complex than that.

@ech

Because politicians and parties dont really care about fixing things, they care about what hypes people up the most.. Having an evil villain does just that, plus it helps distract people away from their own evil deeds.

@mk

@mk There is no claim here that there arent issues that are unfair in the economy.. but the simple existence of rich people is not a red flag.

Just a reminder, wealth is **not** a zero sum game. If it were we would still be living in caves.

@stux thermal vents make the most sense. Precursors may have come from an astroid, but I doubt the life was created from it directly.

@stux Well its not about that, though that is an interesting point as well... Its more about the fact that we know based on the way genes are conserved and mutate that multicellular life must have evolved from the single cellular life we have here on earth, not the other way around. So any seed of life must have been a single cellular ancestors.

@stux No.. if life came from space it would have to have been single cellular, that much I think we can say with certainty.

@ingalls very common to get a packet into the internet anywhere there is aprs presence... still pretty cool. I run a repeater here.

Stiched together my own 3-point hybrid sling completely from scratch.

Main features are:

* Quick conversion from 3-point to 1-point with magnetic clasp (thr one connecting the red webbing)

* Quick disconnect if you get tangled

* two adjustment points, one for weight, the other for muzzle drop.

* Cool red, black, and white styling ;)

* All metal clasps and connectors

* Combination of thick and thin webbing for comfort.

@olives no x.com was a bank he started before paypal. It merged with a company and later changed its name to paypal... so basically x was the original name of paypal
