communism lmao 🤣

OP is rather clearly expressing that people do it as a means to increase their wealth specifically

Good for them?

he didn’t use that money to live a lavish lifestyle but instead used it to fund more projects that he was interested it

Good for him?

Nobody holds a gun to your head and forces you to buy a lambo, if you want to FIRE or become a power lifter or do something else go for it

It's ultimately about effort, easiest example is people who spend 2 minutes a day on Duolingo and expect to become fluent in their chosen language and those who grind it out and spend hours a day working on it because they want it.

You may not necessarily enjoy it but you do it, it goes back to discipline etc last post here

No matter how hard you grind, minimum wage is minimum wage and inflation is inflation.

This makes no sense, if you are grinding you should be improving, I have no idea how you got the idea that grinding means working 80 hours a week in a shit job to go no where.

This is like pre-grinding: aim higher than a minimum wage shitjob? who seriously aims this low?

every time I call you guys as dumb as trump voters I see comments like this and begin to think you're somehow even dumber.

You're close but slightly off

Level 1 and 2 charging is for your home, there's level 1 granny charger which is basically a regular power point into an adapter (like a laptop charger) which gets around 2.2kw, level 2 requires a level 2 charger to be installed in your house (usually in the garage or driveway) which takes the charging speed up to 7kW (single-phase) and 22kW (three-phase) but I believe most American homes are single phase.

Then you go into proper EV fast chargers (level 3) that are outside:

This is where you get your <20 minute charges

If you're charging at home generally it's overnight while you're asleep or during the day from solar when you don't need to drive (like on the weekend) or if you do need to drive you take it out and come back and plug it in so there's no real issue there.

charging an electric car for hours

How I know you don't have an EV :P

EV's aren't petrol cars so you don't run them down to 1% battery life and then charge them up from 1% to 100%

Modern EV's charge fairly quickly:

10% to 80% charge in approx. 18 min

https://www.hyundai.com/au/en/cars/eco/ioniq5

Maybe you plug in at 40% so that's a 10 minute charge.

We're also seeing more and more EV chargers in shopping centre car parks, so in a few places you can park, plug in, do your shopping, and come out to a car full of beans.

And the added competition for AI data centers on electrical grids are also going to decentivise people from buying electric cars and paying higher energy prices to charge their car.

Isn't this a greater incentive for solar? Do you not get paid for exporting power to the grid?

Counterpoint:

Norway on track to be first to go all-electric

Is this article from like 2010?

It's been known for ages how much factory work sucks

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxconn_suicides

Yeah it was the opposite of the ruling class, it was the fuck knuckles all over America

You know you don't have to be a CEO to make so much money :)

They are common now.

I'd like to thank people like Nikola Tesla who grinded for electricity:

Tesla's workday typically began around 9 AM and extended until 6 PM, during which he immersed himself in the realms of electricity and mechanics. Known for his relentless work ethic, he often returned to his projects late into the night, sometimes working until 3 AM. He reflected his commitment to solitary pursuits that often led to groundbreaking discoveries.

Interestingly, Tesla avoided lunch entirely, believing that excessive eating stifled creativity. He remarked, "Why overburden the bodies that serve us?" This philosophy extended to his critique of societal eating habits, as he noted in an interview, "People eat too much and exercise too little."

and all those who grind away at places like Netflix to provide incredible services 'that are common now'

Also like to thank the Shuji Nakamura who invented the Blue LED:

Nakamura continued to develop the blue LED on his own and in 1993 succeeded in making the device.[13][12]

And he worked 12 hour days 7 days a week for over a year:

Why It Was Almost Impossible to Make the Blue LED

Without him LCD screens wouldn't be possible (which are common now).

I am still exploited by capitalism and I feel it every day.

How are you exploited by capitalism?

You’re not working for yourself and everything you strive for can get ripped from you by some unforseen shit

The grind is not the grind for your boss, it's for you, if you got hit by lifestyle inflation I can understand why you're feeling ripped off.

Also I already fell for the same trap the promise of “hard labour earns you stuff”, worked myself into two burnouts with no reward worth the consequences

If you're grinding for no reward then you should stop or move to a company that appreciates you

You also seem to have gotten half the memo, there are productivity nutters on linkedin who love working and love going all out 100% all day every day, but for the rest of us we generally have 2 goals:

1. Fuck You Money
2. FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early)

If you're not really interested here's a brief 1 minute video on it taken from a movie:

A Level Of Fuck You

Why You Need F-You Money

Shortly after 9/11 my company kicked me to the curb.

Six months earlier our division president had taken me to a congratulations lunch for a record breaking year. We were explosively growing and embarrassingly profitable. Over a bottle of fine wine we discussed my very bright future.

https://jlcollinsnh.com/2011/06/06/why-you-need-f-you-money/

I have F U money, so if I lose my job unexpectedly I'll be fine for the next 2 years and because I've got so much experience and skills in my industry it won't take that long to find something else. I'm also happy because I've left 2 crappy workplaces for an amazing one with a great boss that appreciates the hard work I put in and that I'm grateful for every day

Next step after that is FIRE, this is a bit of an intro to it but there's tons of info all over the net:

https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2013/02/22/getting-rich-from-zero-to-hero-in-one-blog-post/

Again some people go to the extreme with this lifestyle and make their own food and live off grid but for most of us it's just a matter of spend less than you earn, save/invest the rest

and once I've got my house paid off in a few years my average expenses per month will be down to pensioner levels while I earn 10x as much, as I do like working at that point the next goal is:

Barista FIRE is where the returns from your invested assets cover most, but not all of your living expenses, and you do work that you find enjoyable to make up for the difference and fund the rest of your lifestyle.

:)

Apart from a small blip of courage in 2016 and 2019, when the Labor opposition floated it as a policy (and the resulting scare campaign having since zapped any backbone from Labor for any necessary reforms), every government and would-be government has followed suit.

YES, it wasn't just a scare campaign, they lost both elections and in 2019 lost an "unlosable election", you can't say it zapped any backbone when they showed backbone and then LOST because of it. This is a clear indication that Australians don't want to lose the very things you are saying are the problem! Welcome to politics! it sucks!

I also don't understand why it mentions only the first home owners and LMI change but not the HAFF which is slowly working its way through the system?

why would some guy in 2175 be laughing at me?

edit: if you could put more effort into your posts beyond 1 vague and shitty line that’d be appreciated

why do you americans always go to healthcare but don’t even look at my name

So you can afford a few streaming services and have access to a supermarket?

do you need me to spell out every single major technological leap in the last 100 years for you or can type a few words in a search engine which searches all the worlds information and brings you results instantly?

edit: would also like to point how just how much tech and innovation is involved in “a few streaming services” and supermarkets

this was 30 years ago! 1989!

The overall takeaway is that much of America’s greatness lies in the ordinary. “He toured New York City, he saw the Statue of Liberty, Trump Tower — he wasn’t impressed,” Mack said. “He saw NASA. Again, no big deal. But it was a grocery store that made him realize that communism is a lie.”

supermarkets were only invented 100 years ago!

why wouldn’t it be? i have access to unlimited music, unlimited tv shows, essentially unlimited entertainment, my choices of food are near unlimited, i have access to dentistry and medical assistance light years from where it was at, etcetcetc

ok? and i’m saying you can still do the work by hand? go for your life buddy

🤣
