I'll admit it does seem a bit contrived.

No where have I worked was an employee allowed to use it for personal thing.

You couldn't even install an app or sign into you Apple/Google accounts due to the MDM.

If you rely on your work for as your personal one, and think you still have personal privacy, you're sorely mistaken.

Hmm gee, I wonder. That seems like a tough one!

Snitches need britches.

Define what you mean by policing. You seem to think people would be chomping at the bit to screw the system and their fellow members of the community. That doesn't happen as often as you think it does. For years now the total monetary amount stolen through wage theft by employers has been higher than the total monetary amount stolen by normal everyday criminals.

You're getting into sociology here, but "doing more for others" and "working until they're content and stopping" isn't the same under capitalism as it would be without it. You seem to be attributing capitalist thought and experience to a system that wouldn't have capitalist structures. I can assure you, the line "humans aren't built to live in communities like this" or "innovation doesn't happen under socialism/communism" or "humans are meant to be competitive with each other" are outright lies that aren't supported by any data or sociologists worth their salt.

Have you ever heard "there is no such thing as ethical consumption or living under capitalism"? Well, it's the truth. Even though I live under this system, I do my best through mutual aid efforts, volunteering my time and knowledge to help those that need it more than I do. I am involved in groups that work within my community. Under this system that is the best I can do. I don't go to Turkey for the same reasons you likely can't. You could buy me a ticket, but what are you going to do about mine and my wife's financial and familial obligations back home? Will you buy my hotel? Will you help ease the burden of me losing my job? Will you pay my rent? Groceries? Take care of my cats? The question of why don't I go to Turkey to help is honestly absurd.

Be an owner you say? I'm sorry but I was not born into a privileged class where any bank would give me a loan to start one. To get out of what I was born into I needed to take on financial burdens. People don't start at the same spot in life, nor do bankers provide the same level of assistance to the working class as they do the owner class and wealthy.

If you have the ability to start hundreds of businesses so easily, I question what your upbringing was. Are you someone born into wealth? You could start worker owned co-ops which while not perfect, would be significantly more ethical than starting a corporation or LLC. What happens after you leave? The board continues and prioritizes profit over the workers at the business you started and the cycle continues. Who's to say the person that takes your spot isn't worse?

I think you could do with reading some theory and history books if you're asking me how my ideas would work or be implemented. There are certainly people smarter than I that have studied the topics in greater length and written on the topics.

Actually, it was the entire sequence except for the RBD, according to virologist Bob Garry:

“I lined n-CoV” — so, the new coronavirus — “with the 96 percent bat Coronavirus, sequenced at the WIV. Except for the RBD” — and that means receptor-binding domain — “the S proteins are essentially identical at the amino-acid level, while all but the perfect insertion of 12 nucleotides, that adds the furin site, as to is over its whole length, essentially identical. I really can’t think of a plausible natural scenario where you get from the bat virus or one very similar to it to [SARS-CoV-2] where you insert exactly 4 amino acids 12 nucleotide[s] that all have to be added at the exact same time to gain this function…. I just can’t figure out how this gets accomplished in nature.”

holy shit, all i meant was that when people say "think of the children" they are doing so under the guise of the childrens' well-being (whether or not they are genuine, or whether or not their assertions would actually help kids).

your "well they did think of the kids" is about as helpful as the "don't call him a [denegrating name] because it gives [denegrating name] a bad name" comments.

Someone once told me religion for the most part does more good than harm. I'd like to ask him if he still believes that nonsense. Oh, and he also said trump wouldn't harm the country like Hillary would

Gotta admit... I got about seven words into that headline and was expecting a much different ending.
