Where I live you can’t cut down a tree, and if it gets destroyed you need to pay thousands for a botanist to come out. I would never take the risk of planting a tree.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 5 days ago:
YouTrack is good for notes, and supports Draw.io as a plugin. They have a free hosted option for personal use as well.
Then Signal obviously.

They just upgraded their physics library too. Far more performant…

- Comment on THE CLASS WAR IS BACK, BABY! 3 weeks 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! 3 weeks 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 weeks ago:
Is digital art itself bad, because its not the human doing all of it?

The bank.
- Comment on Prison slavery 4 weeks 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.

People speculate with cheap mortgage debt, nobody is spending their own money.
- Comment on Luxury bones? In *this* economy. 4 weeks 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.

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.

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

MS handheld, so we get all the bloat and spyware of Windows on limited hardware.
- Comment on Enshittification 4 weeks 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.

If your system relies on censoring opposition to it then its probably not very good.
- Comment on Inching closer to the grave every day 5 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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? 1 month 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.

Just look for whether their skin is white, then you’ll know they are a closeted racist.
- Comment on Controversial question 1 month 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.
