Hello nihilism, my dark friend.
- RajT88 1y agoIt's perfectly acceptable to be nihilistic in our current political climate.
- grues-dinner 1y agoI don't think it's nihilism as much as the realisation the vaunted capital-letters Free Market Economy isn't run by level-headed experts who while maybe not benevolent, work within a framework that produces long-term benevolence as a deliberate side effect. Rather it is instead a fractious, squabbling cabal of, to put it lightly, deeply flawed people with aims rather at odds with the average person's long-term well-being. Saying that the economy currently doesn't seem to be progressing rationally according to the last century of dogma doesn't necessarily mean it's hopeless. Senseless isn't hopeless (but they are roommates).
- consumer451 1y agoYeah, you are correct. “There are no adults in the room.” I now realize that expecting any more than what you described from business turns out to have been one of my most naïve beliefs.
