that's not the point. please look around yourself and ask "how many levels deep is the supply chain for this thing?" for every thing in the room. then ask yourself how would you coordinate that production without the market. how would you ensure there's enough production capacity for make X number of some thing? how do you ensure people's needs are met, within environmental bounds, without forcing people to overwork themselves?

nta u tagged. while this is true for sum things, its a fact that across the world, not jus burgerland, we produce more commodities than we'll eva use and espcially in burgerland that shit is just burnt and wasted away. what items in particular r u considerin? bc in my mind, most things can be procuded locally by local ppl and not b an overwhelmin burden. take t-shirts for instance; ignoring the microplastic, we could literally weave t-shirts from discarded plastic bottles. same for other clothes or producin foods. due to da forces of international trade and cheaper wages across da pond and bad workin conditions, local trades and crafts, such as artisans or clothin makers r so on, r replaced by international labour efforts.

this is an appeal for simpler supply chains, lower complexity products and, most importantly, squandering labour power. why should anyone want le locally produced artisanal t-shirts when we can have mass produced high quality cheap t-shirts? there's no contradiction between cheap high quality products and decent working conditions

Not really, he considered himself one but also denounced what we would understand as anarchists he had what americans would call a 'ANcap', minarchist who believed in a kind of small 'nightwatchman state'.

How do anarchists feel about a purely symbolic monarchy? One where there is no real state or power but it just exists as a symbolic institution. e.g. the Japanese emperor had little to no power for most of history and was relegated to performing rituals and prayers and the Caliph during the Mamluk era was about as symbolic so could the emperor still exist in an anarchist Japan?

Why should it? What would be the point? I can not see how an anarchist society would still be okay with monarchs and emperors existing, symbolic or not. Besides, nobilities are fucked in the head and need urgent care and re-education.

It would be important in Shintoism and there are dozens of other cultural reasons for some sort of monarchy. You don't need a nobility to have some kind of king or monarch either.

I am going to be homeless in 2 weeks. Job didn't pan out, landlord is a cocksucka, rent money will be owed.

What do I do bros? I've sold everything I own with value. I've borrowed from friends. I've started the gofundme. I've called about and applied to so many fucking jobs.

I need to come up with $700 in 2 weeks or I'm toast.

maybe you can try doing ubereats or similar to make up the money? if not then it might be worth ringing around homeless shelters to see if there's anywhere you can stay for a while if you are evicted.

Sorry about it all. Genuine advice is hop on a freighter (maybe put your dog in your backpack, Idk, what breed's the thing?) and come to the East Coast, much more support for homeless here, we give a shit about our people here, you wont be cucked like you were in Texas. I volunteer as an IT specialist for a nearby homeless shelter. If you make it out here, I can 100% get you a bed. I'll post my Tox if you reply, I can give you specifics there.

If you don't wanna live in Texas anymore you could just hop on a greyhound to somewhere else. You could look up what places have the best support for homeless people. There was a big article a saw on here a week ago that a city had almost eliminated homelessness through giving people apartments, I think it was Houston maybe? Maybe someone else remembers it.

Yeah here it is

It's more likely they will keep trying to steal from you if you let them do it once. Also in some cases you're not going to get more money out of them regardless. A lot of businesses put this kind of squeeze on employees and contractors to try to stay net positive until they figure it out. You are better off ripping off the bandaid earlier so you can handle it without wasting more of your time and labor for nothing. You gotta be proactive about this stuff because there's a lot of people who are actively trying to screw you over.

>>Labor Department "You knew the risk being a contractor"
It's still wage theft if you did work under contract that you weren't paid for. Labor lawyers exist for cases like that. Not that it's something you're currently in a position to pursue, but depending on your local laws you can get a payout from an employer for things like this at no cost (the lawyers get paid by the employer if they win). Texas is probably shitty for these cases, but it's good to know as a general thing. If you want to rebel against the government and capitalism, it helps to know the law so you can use it to your advantage where possible.
