I hope the penalty is being drawn and quartered in Times Square live on national television

It’s wild, right? Almost like infinitely compounding upward growth is not realistic

And the world grew dimmer for his leaving it.

We could use more people of both depth and whimsy in the world.

Because the federal government creates money ex nihilo and can always service its debts when it chooses.

You paying into it has nothing to do with its solvency.

Great visualization and further explication for more visual learners. Love this type of comment on Lemmy where it’s to further discussion and help clarify.

Appreciate that now I can use “local minimum” in a correct way with people :D

They’re taught that the long run is simply a succession of short runs and that therefore short term and long term economic thinking and planning are the same,which is,of course, glaringly wrong.

Anything to fill the insatiable hole in them where a soul would be in a real human.

They constantly fall under fallacies of composition or aggregation. To think in the aggregate and long term is largely thrown under the rug.

It’s “right” for a single company to slash wages and gut employment to seek higher profit margins… But when every company does it, it ultimately destroys the capacity of the bottom to uphold the top and it collapses.

Remember when Republicans were the ones chomping at the bit to destroy Russia?

I do. I was alive during the end of the Cold War.

Fucking ghouls just keep getting worse.

As more people start to grow up in the fucked climate, they will see it as the norm.

This is aside from all the misinformation and disinformation being thrown at everyone.

“And the poor shall not be allowed even the pleasure of sugary treats. Yea, they shall have their food stamps slashed for the sin of poverty.”

Book of Jebus, chapter 6, verses 3 and 4.

Seriously, though, it seems like everything these people do is just to inflict more suffering.

Yes. Taking an existing thing and improving upon it is the literal definition of innovation.

Where they will wring their hands and wag their fingers and do jack shit to stop fascism. Spineless pieces of trash.

Ah yes. Denying me food and medical coverage will clearly help with my disability.

Make sure to give that money to the ultra wealthy as a bonus for destroying the planet

Efficient at what and for whom? The whole concept is bullshit when applied to a social science like economics.

If you don’t understand why you need the library… You probably need the library.

You forgot the part where the komodo dragon’s “promised land” was full of Phoenician Canaanites they had to genocide first.

If there’s a file of this somewhere for me to archive, I’ve likely got space.

I’ve already got Wikipedia, medwiki and a few others in local files as I expect any fascist to destroy information and replace it with whatever suits their narrative

Showed this information to my boomer mother who then asked my also tech illiterate step father what he thought.

“We don’t send sensitive information through texts.”

The ignorance almost physically hurts… Thinking that only the actual message content is important.

Or ignoring the pictures we send and the private things I talk about with my mom.

Do I think that specifically my information would be useful to China? Likely not. But I also have no idea what all is possible with that kind of information in the aggregate.

At the very least, I assume they will use it to manipulate us even more with disinformation.

Good for them. I bought this years ago in beta and have no regrets. Amazingly complex rogue like. I hope it gets a bit of recognition
