My mom has a hole in the ground that she puts her clothes drying hanger in. Like this. The hole in the ground is a 2" or so pipe, set in concrete. The pipe has filled with gravel. Anyone have a tip on getting the rocks out? I can only get so many out using my fingers and then trying to use a set of chopsticks.
Capitalism, minus a strong guiding hand as described by Adam Smith, invariably leads to monopolies, or near enough. When that happens, either through a single strong monopoly or a small group of companies, the market doesn’t work and price gouging rises. You don’t have to look further back than the past couple years at inflation. Every study I have seen blames inflation almost completely on price gouging and market failing to work for consumers. Think record prices (and corresponding record profits) of companies across the board. If you want specific examples, check out the long history of Walmart and the negative effects its stores have on local competition and local earnings. Or the profit taking of gas companies. Or super market chains. Or…
People who love Capitalism always seem to have missed high school history/econ and have this ignorant belief that laissez-faire is the best. Even though proven to be shitty. This belief in trickle down bullshit has resulted in 50 trillion dollars going from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. If that’s not capitalism destroying itself, I’m not sure what else to say.
Or as Leonard Cohen sang so succinctly,“The poor stay poor, the rich get rich / that’s how it goes / everybody knows.”
I read that he sold his real estate and was staying in a place owned by another billionaire while looking for a place. That was a couple of years ago, I don’t really follow that fuckhead.

Seems like the first definition is conservative-left. The second definition sounds like capitalism. Honest question here, but what am I missing?
I love watching the old Bird trash talking videos. I hated him back then just because I was a Lakers fan, but I had no idea he talked so much. James Worthy said,“Larry Bird was an asshole!”
I have a 3D printer and have a special filter that has two 24V blower fans that are connected in parallel. Unfortunately my printer doesn’t have the proper connectors for the fans. So if I purchase something like this power jack adapter I know the adapter is 12V not sure if that would make a difference. Anyway if I connect the...
I figured you already had some type of adapter already. Either the one you linked, or the DC connection from the printer. If that’s the case, then it’s ridiculously easy to do a DC to DC adapter. If you do not have a DC supply and just need a 24v power supply, splurge on something like this.
Honestly you’d probably be fine with your original idea. But, that means you can’t charge your laptop while printing and, the 24v power supply I linked to is cheaper than your original idea.
