>I’ve been to crowded bars before. Tequila cowboy is beyond crowded. It’s unsafe. There are occupancy limits for a reason.

Yeppp, shit reminds you of a music festival with how many people are in there. Literally with the travel lines to get around like they have at festivals. They have to be over the number of occupants capacity.

If I actually cared about what you or anyone else commenting, "ThErE's OnLy OnE dEfInItIoN fOr ThAt WoRd AcRoSs AlL sPaNiSh DiAlEcTs," I'd be a lot worse off. My train of thought is up there, take it or leave it.

>That’s such a naive understanding of economics. Exchanges only happen with both parties profit. Otherwise why would you do the exchange if you were not valuing the good or service over what you’re exchanging?

Lol, you're really out here calling other people's interpretations of economics naive?

People obviously buy things because they need or want them. Food; so we don't starve. Housing; so we don't die from exposure. Etc.

It's beyond naive to think that these exchanges can't still be coercive or exploitative. They're almost coercive BY NATURE. If you control the supply of something people desperately need, literally so they don't die, you have undue power and can extort them for much more value than was truly put into producing those products.

> And I expect downvotes given this sub’s anti-capitalist stance. Shame.

You're getting downvotes because your opinions are naive and frankly - dumb.

>Profit is not at the expense of someone else.

Profit = Total Revenue - Total Expenses... It is literally at somebody else's expense i.e. the workers. If you want more profit and don't feel like actually investing those profits back into the business for the long-term goal of generating more revenue, you can always just slash your expenses - primarily with wage cuts or merely stagnant wages that don't match inflation.

I’ve used CTOR in Hoboken. It’s right off the PATH station. They are a teaching facility as well and have the place run like a well-oiled machine. Consultation is free.

Reply to comment by tukekairo in TIL that as President-Elect, US Pres. James Buchanan improperly wrote to a Supreme Court justice asking him to vote pro-slavery in the Dred Scott case. The court would rule 7-2 that Scott was a possession, not a person, and denied his petition for freedom by archfapper

Frozen human embryos are still considered property and are traded under regular contract law. Slavery, and the people who support it, are still around.
