It’s worse on business cards. I negotiated a bank contract for our corporate card program earlier this year and we get 3.5% cash back from purchases. It incentivizes us to pay every vendor invoice by card too as ACH / check actually co

Not just that, the demand for growth and improving quarter over quarter results require they continue to expand those revenue streams. Enshittification is a result of inertia.

None of this explains why 10k of HVAC equipment would cost 40k to install, or most similar spreads. I've had over a dozen HVAC installations and it takes 2 guys a day even if they are doing multiple units on a 5000sf house. It takes th

Didn't mean it that way, I knew you were not attacking me and I understood you were mediating perspectives and not really advocating for any. My response wasn't targeted at you just the generalities being discussed. But you'r

There was no tone. It was just concise. The problem is people online read things so literally they'd rather take offense than consider they're reading it wrongly. Such a lack of critical thinking in a world that is so heavily text

I see no need to sugar coat it when it's my reality and there's no labor disputes. If you want to be outraged by what works in my relationship have at it, meanwhile we'll continue our 20 years and counting... but if it makes

At work, I use my calendar. At home, I have a wife. It's a joke but there's a lot of truth to it. She maintains our social calendar (which is mostly our kids social calendar and we tag along tbh) and I just ask what's happeni

That’s kind of the problem, you don’t need to learn much at all/anything to do this right now. Because the bosses of the world aren’t enforcing any standards in terms of craftsmanship or quality of work. They pretty much just show up t

Same. But I don’t do much on my cars. My strategy has been to just only buy Japanese cars (Honda and Toyota for me) and keep them for about 10 years or 150k miles. I’ve never needed do so anything besides replace a dead battery, fluids, fil

Mine tend to be entrepreneurial and I find that if I sketch out the solution and then think about marketing and sales and the customer service and what not, that I quickly realized I have no desire to run this company even if it seems like

I don't think building homes is really prohibitive due to regulations. I know it varies a lot by region of course. But I'm in an area that isn't really effected by earthquakes and has no frost line/need for basement&#x2F

Low income people chase goods with all their money. High income people squirrel it away or spend on luxury goods. You’ll redistribute the money such that the things that people receiving the subsidies need/want now have more money chas

I am thinking how most of the people I get business cards from are people I've already invited in to my office and are discussing some potential business relationship. They've often flown to my city, staying in a hotel, paying for

I thought the same but noticed it doesn’t even check all the domains unless you scroll down the list and it lazy loads each on as they appear in the viewport. OP. Sorry to be harsh but this is awful UX in terms of reviewing search results.

I don’t think either of us is wrong In more macro sense it’s wage stagnation driving purchasing power as compared to inflation. Under the hood, workers are experiencing it differently based on their trade and industry.

Inflation and affordability are different concepts. I think affordability is the term I’ll use as it’s best for casual/lay economic discussions. It would be unstable at first, like how inflation during Covid differed by industry/p

by conductr 1y ago
This assumes the wealth transfer doesn’t affect the price of assets and services which is of course bonkers. More than likely the transfer will happen and affordability will not improve due to inflationary pressures.

Wage stagnation is the root problem. When costs of all expenses go up over time but paychecks do not, it causes major stress.

I think the money is chasing growth in a market that is mostly mature. Tech is really the only hope in that situation, so that's where the dollars land.

I could ask the same of you. Do these things only exist because of trickle down? Do you have proof they wouldn’t have been invented and commercialized without it? I don’t expect either of us to be able the answer the questions posed. Nobody

I would argue that technology diffusion would occur even without trickle down economics/tax policies. Even if they were taxed more heavily, there would still be people wealthy enough to buy the v1.0 flat screen, computer, DVD player, e

I don’t feel like it’s unjustly trying to assert Bluey an unfitting credit at all. Instead I feel like the use of “fact” here is a nod to how thoroughly this has been discussed and how common knowledge it has become, at least to anyone who

When I was renting more often, I found Enterprise had pick-up trucks and you can tell them you will be towing during the RSVP (I think it may be a small extra fee, but mostly they want to make sure they get you a truck with a towing hitch).

Let’s cut to the chase here and flip this around. You tell people how often they need to be using the bed or towing things before you would accept their decision to buy versus rent as reasonable? I go through periods where I tow weekly for
