Disaster or not, the media has zero credibility when it comes to reporting on anything Trump related. BBC would have declared it a disaster regardless of whether or not it actually did well, just like Fox would have branded it a huge succes

Not a huge crypto fan, but Sen. Warren is just the most shrill, condescending, hypocritical politician imaginable, who seems to have no emotion other than outrage. I hate nearly everything that comes out of her mouth. Whatever plan she has,

As someone who has played all Souls games + Sekiro, this game is a dream come true. 10x better than any previous souls game, easily. The scale is truly insane, I honestly can't believe a game this big is even possible. In fact, I would

Interesting, which conditions would those be? My intuition is prolonged periods of high inflation?

I appreciate the explanation, thank you. So it seems that the Fed would much rather err on the side of inflation than potentially misstep into deflation. As someone who owns no assets, I would really love for the inflation to stop, but admi

Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation. That being said I'm gonna have to disagree with your last point. The value of careers is determined by the free market, not some ancient social norms made by the patriarchy. SWEs are paid more tha

It strikes me that the fed is playing two games. One game is the public facing game, where they pretend to be all concerned about inflation and Powell virtue signals about how he is so dedicated to bringing it under control, yada yada. And

Could someone help me understand this gender pay gap issue? My understanding is that it would be illegal to just pay a woman less for the same job. And in my company for SWE women are actually paid more on average. Is the issue with total a

What the actual fuck is wrong with these people? Calling for literal violence against Russians is less dangerous than claiming masks aren't helpful? Is there something here I'm not getting?

If you aren't born into some upper class family, I think this honestly might be the best approach to living life. With the rate of inflation in housing and education, it might just not be worth the effort to save for retirement and a h

GTA 5 was not exactly politically correct and I loved it for that. I hope Rockstar is able to preserve this element of the series. I'd imagine that it is probably pretty difficult nowadays.

I hate to say this man, but you work for Block. It's a company founded and led by the guy who made Twitter, which I consider to be one of the worst far-left cancers in this world. You are kind of getting what you pay for here... these

It's gonna happen this decade, I'm sure of it. Covid has completely screwed our hyperefficient society to the point where I think no human institutions can stem the massive tidal wave that is coming. I'd guess that the financ

I think that the elites of the various countries have too much in common at this point to allow a war to happen. They would sooner team up and move to Elysium and abandon all the rest of us on earth than allow for global destruction. I thin

I had to read Zinn for AP US History in 10th grade, and I fucking hated that shit. The guy would somehow always find a way to spin everything this country did in a negative way. Glad to hear that at least part of it was bullshit.

Yeah, the situation is unfortunate. I don't really see a way out though, because government salaries are just not able to compete with the private sector - how is the government going to attract good people? Let's be honest here -

My personal opinion is that the US government is mostly incompetent, and its employment structure incentivizes laziness and waste. Any expansion of government into the lives of the people is bound to backfire. The rich would just find a new

6% is only looking at the CPI. Factor in equity prices, housing prices, tuition prices, and suddenly there is a lot more reason to panic.

In reality it's a lot higher than 6%. You have to understand that the CPI is utter crap. They have continually adjusted the definition of it over time to make inflation seem not as bad as it actually is. It doesn't include house p
