For sure, I wish there were more Indian / Ethiopian restaurants around.

Yes

Yes and yes. Although honestly, it's always a nuanced thing. But typically the idea is to use money and undercutting to force out competition, then when the competition dies quality goes to crap.

One side of the country has become convinced that democracy is not important. In fact, they see it as an impedance to their goals.

They'll wring themselves in knots to allow it as freedom of religion or some shit.

Video game developers (and working class in general) desperately needs to unionize, young folks are too naive to realize they're working towards chronic health conditions.

I'm happy to see almost all the comments calling this out. I feel like it's propaganda that likely would've worked before our highly connected modern age. My favorite response is folks instead calling out "quiet firing&

It's also a Maslow's hierarchy of needs sort of thing. I'm about 33 and finally I feel secure enough to think about things beyond survival.

Hate to say it but even with money here in the US you can't get emergency care these days. It's all about connections instead.

Certainly a joke, but I don't see how it aligns with what I wrote. We're def in the late stages of a monopoly game, provided we don't magically find another board (aka leave Earth).

Late game monopoly. Lots of wealth in the hands of a few, the rest meant to be content to go around the board paying them for the privilege of working for them.

Yes it is, even if you can't see it. How is that person to defend themselves now? Talk about lack of empathy. I highly doubt folks will do this "incentive" if we were to throw out the charges given there is punishment for t

Good ole slippery slope. This is an insane take, tampering with evidence needs to have consequences, and unfortunately I'd rather let someone innocent go (even if that means sometimes guilty go free too). It's much worse to err

Yes! I finished in about 4 years. After that, I only did Bunpro (I had neglected grammar too much, but did have a good N5 I'd estimate). After about a year of that I started reading. First book was a slog at the beginning, so much di

This + Bunpro for grammar! It'll take you far longer than 2 years unless you're super disciplined or have a lot of free time, but I can't imagine a better way outside of moving to Japan for immersion.

If you're going to say something like "It is thoroughly possible to put away enough money to pay for car troubles or many kinds of medical problems without superhuman financial discipline for most households in the US." then

I disagree that there isn't an upside. In general, there would be more upward pressure on wages if information asymmetry went away. It's especially insidious for folks in the lower class, since they don't realize the extent

All I can say is to treat them well and set them up for success. I've noticed folks sometimes fall into the trap of trying to give their kids nothing to teach them lessons. Early help in life has compounding effects.

As I said, go do it! Most studies I've seen state that it's hard to know because paycheck to paycheck is such a loaded word. And it's easy to access that the majority of Americans end up in medical debt in their lifetime.

I think actual numbers are hard to come by, but I would say it's like a "go do it then" sort of thing. It's easy for well off folks to offer thoughts / advice. Go accept a $67k job (which is actually higher than ea

It's nearly impossible for folks outside our industry (or some comparable industry in terms of pay). Car trouble? Savings gone. Any sort of medical issue? Savings gone. I actually think those folks are more financially disciplined t

Not only that, but moving is not free! You need money to move, often a good chunk of it. Throw in family (not a single person), and you've got a nightmare of coordination.

The majority of folks are forced to live paycheck to paycheck, not of their own volition. I'd be fine for quite some time, heck I could probably semi retire so to speak.

Honestly have no clue how humanity expects to tackle this. We're essentially operating an eternal monopoly game (someone got there before you, sorry future kids, you're out of luck) when it comes to housing. How do we fix this?
385.
by diob 4y ago
Something about extraordinary claims requiring extraordinary proof for this one. How did you measure better? Did you get the same number of responses for each?

What do you mean that reasoning got us into this inflation mess? Down below you say it's due to the fed giving free money to the 1%.

I guess we'll have to disagree, I think we have different views on human nature due to our upbringings, and neither of us really have hard data (how do you really measure abuse / neglect in reality, or long term outcomes due to it

Right. So if you're forcing child support, most are going to hold a grudge and demand custody of some sort. I literally know so many cases like this where the "bad" parent then tortures the child, doesn't feed them or

Disgusted but apparently still voting for it.
