The person thinks inflation and pyramid schemes are the same thing. I think your argument is falling on deaf ears.

Pause.

I'm not sure most people understand how neoclassical economics is based on "arm chair general" style models largely divorced from reality.

And how horrible an ideology it really is to have had infiltrate every aspect of western life and culture.

The more I look at it, the more I see how a large part of our current societal issues can be laid at the feet of this ideology masked as science.

Alan Moore

Saga of the Swamp Thing and Watchmen are two amazing runs of comics he wrote.

Huge fan of his recent-ish novel, Jerusalem.

How dare we want to... checks notes ... Eat food and experience some of life before we MAYBE live until we are 70

Why settle for either option when you can be pan and have it all???

Fuck the US car industry and fuck Tesla.

Just to be fair: Fuck China, too.

I've seen this and known the end was coming since I was a teenager 25 years ago.

Who care about consumer spending when I've been watching the current biosphere die off for my whole adult life?

I'm supposed to save for a future in a society that's pretty obviously collapsing as the biosphere deteriorates?

I don't have zero hope for the future but the idea that this current infinite expansion system can continue is obviously wrong.

Everyone is just playing a role while at work. Humans are more than their function in a business or society.

If you're in the US, I'm pretty sure they can't fire you because of ADHD related causes. They can come up with other reasons, but your neurodivergence is a recognized medical condition.

I feel like too many people take being corrected like this as a sign that I'm trying to be condescending when, to me, it's a simple courtesy I hope other people extend to me as well when I mess up.

So much this. I can't remember the last time I had a huge pile up of dishes that I didn't clean while something was simmering or whatever. By the time my meal is ready, everything is clean or there's one pot that might need to soak while I eat.

The more they print money, the more people buy into that monetarist bullshit while the rich rob us by driving up prices and claiming "inflation".
