Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I mean, seriously. I was stupid enough to take on the burden of student loans. At least give me the dignity of having the responsibility of paying them off.

Yes, tax cuts have always led to much higher worker pay...

Are you crazy? That type of trickle-down nonsense has been thoroughly debunked.

You know what would make it easier to start and run businesses? Not having your most educated populace be heavily in debt. Building social safety nets so that starting a business isn't as risky. Making it so healthcare isn't tied to employment... you know what maybe taxes on the extremely well established businesses should be increased to pay for that.

What unnecessary restrictions are currently hampering innovation in your opinion?

No, no, no!

Forcing the people with the most up to date expert knowledge to "work for the man" during their prime risk-taking years (before having family responsabilities) because they're force to due to debt, rather than being free to take risks as inventors or entrepreneurs, is a well known way of "promoting innovation"!!!

/s (just in case).
