  One of the missing pieces that was mentioned by someone else is the purchase of residential properties by businesses being at all time highs.

  WFH is efficient and makes sense in many cases. Private equity firms buying homes and holding them to sweat out the market far beyond what a solo landlord could or would, does not.

  Ty for calling out the non-sense. Somehow accusing Democrats of also being on the take is considered outlandish.

  Theyve got us fighting over scraps (abortion, marriage, the right to express ourselves and love who we want) but they are in full agreement on where most of the tax dollars go (MIC, contracting companies of powerful friends, subsidies for factory farms).

  Gonna have to wake up the dormant Sheeple.

  Maximizing the utility of labor? I’m alluding to using the components of the scenario in the most efficient way.

  How would you express it?

  Yeah I see your point and I’ve got amazing manners with human beings. It’s a view I personally reserve for companies. And the larger they are, the less I respect them enough to have ‘manners’ towards them.

  Perhaps it’s the inability for people to treat corporations the way corporations treat people that leads to such a power differential.

  I definitely have the unpopular opinion of disagreeing. As much as I’d like to employ manners with my grocery store, if there’s no corral within a 30 second walk from me, I don’t put the cart back. Most of my purchases are under 8 items and I usually don’t use a cart so I just carry everything by hand in the store and out.

  My grocery store doesn’t care about manners on their end. It treats me like an economic unit and even makes self checkout the most reasonable option. They’d have me clean the floors as part of the checkout if they could. From a utilitarian perspective, it makes more sense for one person to gather all the carts in a batch rather than each individual going back for their individual cart.

  The insurance rates thing is a legitimate point ( insurance is a racket, though. Fuck those guys too)

  In the US, unlike most other countries, medical doctors are most at risk for suicide.

  As much as I’m against parasitic practices, I wonder how the inevitable corruption of money would (further) skew research if academia was well paid for their papers.
