“Sure we destroyed the planet as we knew it, but for a brief moment in time, we increased value for shareholders!”
What usually happens is the area becomes too rich for the usual folk who have lived there since their birth. Now they can’t eat at a restaurant in their own home town.
The truth is somewhere inbetween… not “reality” like you claim it is.
You think existing government can’t manipulate you into thinking we are in a democracy?
just to teabag another nation.
Gestures broadly at the space race of the 1950s
Actually a little bit of humiliation goes a long way towards diligence when conducting expensive space experiments. Russia used to be the leaders in these fields. The world used to rely on Soviet vehicles for launch. They deserve to be held at a higher standard.
Touch luck world, i will be too out of touch to care. Full boomerism here i come!
So it’s an inconvenience you would rather not put up with and let some old coot die.
No surprise. Land of the free… but also the land of the inconsiderate, and also perhaps selfish.
Its for yor benefit. And NHS actually saves lives.
It’s more depressing than we weren’t paying for lunch
Because billionaires lobbied congress to reduce budget for public schools
A fool and his money are parted
Ah the “I’m not crazy! You are!” Stage of deranged authoritarians
Someday even the air you breathe will be sold by a corporation… then your comment will appear silly.
Sure… All the countries that were doing well before some 3 alphabet orgs got involved died because of communism, not because of manufactured coups.
It can’t exist without the government keeping the angry mob from chopping off the Capitalists’ heads off.
It’s hilarious to see: Most Capitalists (or atleast those who are not actively opposing fossil fuel industry) complain about Doomers for the climate, but the moment the line stops going up you guys become Doomers yourself.
I have seen how capitalists scream when the line stops going up. But I never see capitalists suggest changes to how the economy is setup to avoid this phenomenon. I don’t trust people who can’t be objective when their baby has made a booboo.
Not the OP you were talking to, but I have to object to what you say is ignorance, even though you might be saying it about OP specifically. You probably think everybody thinks of deflation like this.
Deflation is bad -> I believe this is true. But that’s not the point.
The current economy is setup this way to make anything other than rampant consumerism and aggressive capitalism a country-destroying phenomenon -> This is what irks people. The rich and powerful have setup a shitty rube-goldberg machine that makes their lives better at the expense of the commonfolk, environment, and everybody else’s sanity.
Young people may perhaps be even doing it deliberately as a protest.
