The very classic four stage program.
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Then we follow the four-stage strategy.
Bernard Woolley: What’s that?
Sir Richard Wharton: Standard Foreign Office response in a time of crisis. In stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Sir Richard Wharton: In stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there’s nothing we can do.
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it’s too late now.

- Comment on Whose bright idea was it to give the morning people enough power to set the "business hours" anyways‽ 2 weeks ago:
I would, but some idiot decided that we need time zones issues of actual sun time. Then another idiot thought it was a good idea to take on the time from another time zone for cooperation and business. Then the biggest idiot of all figured daylight saving time was the best thing ever. So now we’re two hours or of sync with the sun and now everyone is constantly jet lagged except for some early risers.

That’s their core propaganda mechanic. Some bit of offensive trivia is found and shared by Elon. He’ll tweet it. Trump will share it. It’s on the evening show on fox they evening and in newspapers by morning. Repeat this the next day.

Chainsaw austerity. Normal austerity can cost a country a decade or two of growth and they at least tried to not accidently cut anything too crucial.

These ones were just counting mistakes. They counted billion instead of million and counted a contract three times. The “oops, we need them after all” still needs to happen.

The most likely outcome with all the doge meddling is purchasing power of the population going down, so subsidies and grants and given out as candy to friends and family to keep businesses and the economy going costing the government more in the end.

First they used venture capitalist’s money. It was just free mana from heaven during the period with near zero interest rates after the 2008 financial crisis. They used that money to get market share by making deliveries very cheap. Intrest rates went up, they went public to get more money, and then it was time to see how much that market could bear and rake in the profits.
- Comment on When we explain to other people how our capitalist system works and they recoil in horror 1 month ago:
Like the classic “The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money” while in today’s capitalism everybody except a small elite is running out of money.

And McDonald’s countered with a statement Pricing Myths vs Facts where they compared 2019-2024 prices where the original study the infographic is based on compared 2014-2024 prices. A little FUD seasoning if your will to make it all look less bad.
That’s the same company that countered their wages being too low to live on by producing an example budget to show how you can survive with only a McDonald’s job. The first line in the budget is income from the first and second job. They costs are even more laughable today.
