They’re taking your money via taxes to fund the irs. That said, it’s a drop in the bucket. This system is unhinged

Unfortunately cats are not people. They are cats. Projecting human level expectations onto them is a recipe for friction.

A lot of people think that. I’m not saying I agree, but it’s a pretty popular take in macro circles on YouTube.

OP said 800,00 so I'm not sure if that was intended to be 800,000. But that obviously doesn't pass the BS test. Alex jones is not pulling in over 100m a year or anywhere close to that.

Just my own speculation, but yes. The lack of deep focus is endemic in the culture. There is too much cheap distraction. I’ve gone through my phase of thinking it will collapse. I think that’s possible, but a more realistic base case is a c

Im sure age demographics also come into play (idk to what degree though). How much is this result a factor of the demographic pyramid of republicans vs democrats?

GDP is measures dollars in the numerator. This is the same concept of retail sails increasing in terms of dollars sold, but decreasing in terms of actual things sold.

That’s fine, but you’re a using a bad faith interpretation. You just admitted as much. The point isn’t that you’re wrong. It’s that they aren’t thinking what you’re projecting them to think.

There appears to be correlation to me. Not perfect. But far from random

What is the counter evidence for the erosion?

You’ll never stop paying. Pick rent or property taxes. Obviously property taxes are less than rent in your typical case. But it’s not even an order of magnitude difference

It’s polarizing definitely. But the flip side is this is a great look for a large subset of the population

Can someone explain what is going on here versus the nuclear reactors navy submarines have been using for decades? I mean I get that design may be improved. I guess I’m just reacting to the notion that a portable reactor is this new achieve

Does it not reflect reality to recognize that time spent feeling sorry for yourself could be better utilized in any number of other pursuits? Why the hostility to this basic notion?

I agree the removal is not sufficient, but it is helpful

Of course it can. If you can identify thoughts that are not aiding you, you can actively replace them with more constructive uses of your mind and will power.

I don't know where you live, but there are a lot of investor type buyers who buy with no on site visit or inspection. Or generally don't mind taking on the site improvement issues. You may also be able to get a deal in place where

I think the 'what is being done for the old parents' is them not having to confront and part with their stuff while they're old but alive. By doing this after they have passed, they get to bypass this possibly mentally taxing

Of course it’s suspicious. A floating fiat based system is a great tool to enslave the global population. Backing a currency by gold erodes this tool by constraining the ability to grow and manage debt

Lol that’s fine. Metaverse isn’t specific to shitbook. You’re on the metaverse via hn. At the end of the day, I think it’s dumb. I’m just iron manning the justification of the rebrand

Vr is a subset of the ‘metaverse’. The metaverse isn’t really something new. It’s just a rebranding of the portion of our lives that are contained within the digital realm. On top of that there are obviously ideas for how to adapt and grow

They really aren’t. The store of value is the use case. Now you may not have confidence that the social contract for that value will persist. I personally don’t have a high degree of confidence. But to continue to ignore that this itself is

Lying is not the same as incompetent. Also they have to pretend (lie) that they can do something impossible. They are not incompetent. The fed chairs are quite intelligent, but they are not running the show.

Did you read the article? Your original comment was just an implicit discrediting of the author. It’s hard to see how point is relevant to the main concepts of the ‘article’(small book). I’d be happy to hear your expanded thoughts on the im

The system will seize up and collapse with anything close 20% interest rates. Look at what happened in September 2019. The rates shot back to 0 because there was a liquidity problem in the repo market. The system is rife with zombie compani
