  Not on the current scenario.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THE CLASS WAR IS BACK, BABY!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  They excluded housing appreciation from the CPI in the late 80s, created 30 year loans, massive bailouts adding to moral hazard; I agree its neoliberalism, deregulating the money supply growth made people over leverage to profit off the cantillon effect, obviously leading to asset bubbles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THE CLASS WAR IS BACK, BABY!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The money supply now grows at 10% a year. People leverage into real estate because housing always goes up as currency goes down. The farther you were born from the gold standard the poorer you will likely be.

  With tablets and software its easier than ever to produce and share art, it doesn’t have to be a job any more because its so easy to produce and share, so it becomes a leisure activity. Why protect jobs that don’t need to exist?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ghibli posting⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is digital art itself bad, because its not the human doing all of it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luxury bones? In *this* economy.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The bank.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prison slavery⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is because boomers now consume less, so currency needs to be debased to provide the level of consumption to increase, to match 2% inflation.

  The less people consume as demographics age the more repressed the youth will be. It locks up inelastic goods behind massive debt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luxury bones? In *this* economy.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  People speculate with cheap mortgage debt, nobody is spending their own money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luxury bones? In *this* economy.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The further you get from the gold standard the worse it gets. Because debt needs to grow to pay past debt, and mortgage debt is what we use to boost GDP.

  The pen is, mightier than the sword.

  Are you familiar with the elders of zion, which was believed by a huge number of people all over the globe, even though it was totally ridiculous. The average person is not smart.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Every country suffers from this, America is just the most rich due to geographic benefits and the Bretton Woods system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fable delayed to 2026⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  MS handheld, so we get all the bloat and spyware of Windows on limited hardware.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Enshittification⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Its almost like low taxes and loose monetary policy leads to share buybacks and shittier products as the CPI reports rapid deflation and more share buybacks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh NOOOO⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  FF5 is the best one too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You should probably just throw it away"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even JavaScript can infect you.

  6700k is amd64.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hexadecimal⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If your system relies on censoring opposition to it then its probably not very good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inching closer to the grave every day⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Luckily by the time you get there I’m sure you will feel it will be yourself soon, and will be more a feeling of existential dread than a fear of loss.

  Death is the harm of deprivation, presupposing lack, loss, or absence of some future goods. At the same time, people deprived of things valuable for them try to acquire them joining some movements or struggling for some privileges.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Controversial question⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The 2% inflation target that excludes all investments you mean, so that we must consume more every year otherwise interest rates collapse and we gush out money like a sprinkler as the rich load up on debt with their inflated collateral?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it insanely good, like Factorio level polish, or was it just hyped due to recency bias?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Should I buy Baldurs Gate 3, its extremely expensive still.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Project 2025. The goal is to remove all tariffs and other limitations against the US.

  Canada for instance has laws on antibiotics for dairy, foreign ownership for banks and telcos, various things like that. India has tariffs on everything.

  The document outlines crazy things like capital punishment and a border wall, its clearly Trumps handbook. It’s all in there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hate crimes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just look for whether their skin is white, then you’ll know they are a closeted racist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Controversial question⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because the rich don’t affect much in our current monetary policy, its the velocity of money that matters rather than the quantity.

  If they start buying out every grocery store then interest rates rise and their asset prices fall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Billionaires shouldn't exist⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I figured maybe it was an infograph screen in the game or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Billionaires shouldn't exist⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can someone explain what the picture is from?

  I know its megaman, but why?

  Elon Musk will be regarded with the likes of Leonardo da Vinci and Louis Pasteur in the history books.
