It’s fifty percent spa industry which caters to old people, and fifty percent students. Depending on which group you live closer to you might find it very welcoming or a bit shit.

That’s an outrageous abuse of power by Venezuela. To be a truly free country they’d need to move the mercenaries into illegal torture centres, refuse to charge them, and never let them out.

A ‘beginners start reading here’ might be good? With some of the more accessible socialist/marxist content, to give people an easy way to start reading theory.

The idea is that for every resource available to us, there’s some floor of consumption that allows us to meet minimum requirements for everyone to stay alive, and some ceiling of consumption where if we exceed it then one day we’ll run out. The ‘green zone’ for each resource is circular on the diagrams people use to show the idea, so that’s why they call it a ‘donut economy’.

Why does it fail? Like all ideas that boil down to ‘capitalism but we stop the bad stuff’, it assumes that adding legal/moral barriers based on the common good will prevent (some) exploitation. Capitalism will find a way around legal barriers, the way it literally always has.

phaser.io is a good starting point if you’re happy to learn JavaScript instead of C# to begin with. As it’s a weakly typed language it’s arguably (and I mean that there are a lot of arguments about this) an easier language for beginners.

“What if we did just enough capitalism to give people what they need, but not so much it damages the environment” and other pipe dreams by liberals.
