A solid 50% of this entire thread is people arguing about inflation and bikeshedding the concept of money. Amazing. (COVID gets an honorable mention. Six years on now, but hey. Stay mad.)

No, inflation is just an increase in prices. Insisting it is only due to an increase in the money supply is an RW talking point.

Not sure what this has to do with the article, it just seems like a nitpick. What did science do to you?

Can we please stop the tone-policing, please? It's not helpful. Not everything needs Wikipedia-style citation, and this particular rhetorical trick is extremely passive-aggressive.

Why are people so determined to just shill for companies? Do you know how many people are unemployed for Christmas today, while you're out here tasting shoe leather for these organizations with more money than God? They're not goi

"Just exit the rat race", says someone not facing repossession and foreclosure.

by venturecruelty 10mo ago
Because context is hard, I guess, my point is that "exiting the rat race" is generally something that only people with Mountain View addresses and opinions like "400k TC really isn't THAT much, if you think about it&quot

HN School of Law: you can win big legal cases that don't exist on nerd technicalities that don't work in courtrooms that aren't real. Also you can pass their version of the Bar for $99 and your e-mail address.

How much does food and electricity cost for you right now?

I mean, if the current Kafkaesque nightmare isn't working, then yes? You might as well read chicken entrails, at this point. At least then you'd get some diversity, if nothing else. But the actual solution is to not let bean count

If only there were some sort of way employees could get together and like... I don't know, use their labo- I mean, work energy as lever- I mean, to convince management to recognize their uni- I mean, get their boss to pay them more.

Some of the pro-monopoly takes in this thread are mindblowing . We get precisely what we deserve.

Yeah, sure, every tech company now acts like a craven monopolist hellbent on destroying everything that isn't corporate-driven AI computing, but not this time! This time will be different!
