/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • This is why you dont let billionaires have 100 children.

  • It's going to be cool when every billionaire has succession wars fought by their dozens of children.

  • Trump tariffs blamed as bankruptcies reach 15-year peak

    Jump

  • Not only wages drop, but the dollar reserves of every other country also drop. In the short term this will hurt the economies of a lot of different countries because they are so dependent on dollars, but in the longer term they're going to dump dollars for alternatives.

    Then, as foreign demand for dollars decreases, inflation rises even further. As inflation rises further, foreign demand for dollars decreases even further. There's presumably some kind of floor here, somewhere? It's going to be a looong way down.

  • Why are the two American political parties so much more firmly entrenched than in other bourgeoisie democracies?

    Jump

  • At the same time while there isn't party discipline on candidates, there's party discipline on the voters themselves. The Parties get to draw their own election maps and make their own election rules to control how people vote. They essentially pick their voters.

  • The concept of building anything before people need it is unthinkable to the Western mind.

    You're supposed to restrict access to housing so the streets fill up with homeless people!

  • So, there's gonna bailouts eventually.

    The reason printing money doesn't always cause inflation is because growing the money supply also increases economic activity by providing liquidity for productive investment, and growing the economy itself creates even more demand for liquid currency.

    But what happens when you print money that doesn't do anything productive? Instead, it's just for paying down debts.

  • Caught some kind of 24-hour thing at the family gathering I guess. I'm at the end of it now, I think, but I was mildly uncomfortable all day yesterday! Talking was basically no-go, unless I went really deep, and uh, no lol

  • Trump says US bombed a dock in Venezuela, marking first known land attack

    Jump

  • The ~1 million Venezuelans already in the US are the reason that it is attempting to deport and terrorize as many as possible. Ethnic cleansing is actually part of the neo-Monroe doctrine, they need to get the immigrants from the neocolonies out of the imperial core to recreate that geographic and cultural distance. These feed into each other too, because a war would also be used as justification for deportations and internement camps - and resistance to deportations and internement camps would be used as justification for war.

  • They actually think this is an own. They think everyone else is as xenophobic as they are

    Jump

  • Social democracy isn't just capitalists being smart, it's capitalists bribing the workers by redistributing the superprofits generated by imperialist growth. It is smart to get worker buy-in to capitalism by giving them a cut of the growth, but fascism doesn't occur just because capitalists suddenly become too stupid to do social democracy. It occurs when the superprofits decline and the empire has to turn inward to sustain growth. The social democratic ideological superstructure remains, but the superexploitation comes home.

  • They graduated from Stanford. Due to AI, they can’t find a job

    Jump

  • Absolutely, but cheaper now is all that matters to the Dunning-Kruger c-suit that runs every business. Besides, they might have already moved on to a different company by the time it becomes a problem, so why should they care?

  • Go vegan

    Jump

  • I'm vegan specifically because the flesh trade involves exploitation of human workers. Killing those day old male baby chicks has a psychological toll on the humans that are forced to do it for their paycheck.

  • They graduated from Stanford. Due to AI, they can’t find a job

    Jump

  • If it's cheaper this financial quarter then they don't care if they have to pay for it the next financial quarter. That's a future problem!

  • It doesn't have to be better, just cheaper.

  • It was all good when private equity fucked up housing, healthcare but now that its gaming 🤣

  • I've actually heard that PC literacy is declining because young people don't have PCs, they just have tablets and smart phones.

  • Yeah, the "the good king and his wicked advisers" thing dates back at least to the peasant uprisings in 1381, predating the Russian empire by hundreds of years.

  • That's Scalia's interpretation, but that's not how it was always interpreted. Why do you think they were able to ban machine guns in the first place, and then have it upheld by the Courts for going-on 100 years? It was believed that a "well regulated militia" should refer to actual militias, not just "any random asshole that can afford a gun". That was the common interpretation for a century.

    That's the trick - it can be interpreted however we want. It's all made up. It used to mean one thing, then it meant something else.

    So, the question is, why did the interpretation change? Did Scalia just really love freedom? Or was there, maybe, another agenda?
