Yeah it's definitely a good idea to get that heat pump into its own circuit lol. I had an aircon (which is just heat pump but it pumps cold air into the home instead) sharing with other appliances in a single circuit (my TV, router, ceiling fan, and aquarium oxygen) until recently, and while I fortunately did not ever run into my circuit breaker tripping because of that, it sure was inconvenient not being able to use those other appliances when I had to put my aircon under maintenance lol

Reply to horrible idea: under communism, we might still have organizations which are logistically and financially similar to (1) amazon and (2) the stock market by twovests

Money, that is the universal commodity equivalent exchanged primarily for other commodities, and most crucially, can be accumulated and survives after being used for exchange? No they wouldn't exist in a socialist/communist society, otherwise you just created yet another social democracy like the self-proclaimed socialisms of Germany, Italy, the USSR, and China...

You should look into labor vouchers, which does account for socially necessary labor time done. Similar to money it can be exchanged for stuff (usually the scarce ones that couldn't be made abundant) but unlike money it is destroyed after being used. What's the incentive? Society would try to reduce the socially necessary labor time done to produce and service stuff (because we don't want to have to ration stuff and we are naturally lazy creatures who want to spend less time doing the same labor), through innovations made possible by the means of production freed from the constraints of being used primarily for profit, and instead directed towards human need. Eventually the stuff wouldn't have to be rationed via vouchers and can be given away as needed.

So financially similar under socialism/communism? No I'd disagree

it seemed beyond dispute that sixty years ago some of these gooners would have been fathers. Small-business owners.

Critical support to the gooning movement for preventing teenaged men from becoming petit-bourgeois
