@mtkonczal Well, you know how people substitute hamburger meat for steak, well, same applies to housing. House or apartment is too expensive, I'll bet no one is looking at how cheap cardboard boxes are now!
@USMexSpain@mtkonczal@Title9Jen Y'all say that about fucking everything. What the fuck is trickle down? What specifically are you talking about? Billionaire taxes? Do you understand the scope of the problem? Do you get almost is paid for by taxes and that wouldn't change with your more aggressive ideas?
@Markzandi So good for rollout jobs, bad for once-permanent jobs? Ehhh.
When do we see this transform any other industry? At all? And why would we even expect that from chatbots?
@RiseHarvest Then it gets pretty weird and wild. Trafficking kickbacks—all manner thereof. NGO routing. Stealing foreign and domestic aid. Professional billion-dollar fraud schemes.
And then let's not forget: industry bailouts, Cantillon effect—the Fed manages a lotta portfolios, IYKWIM.
@RiseHarvest And THAT is just the 101 level.
You know those obnoxious book deals at absurdist valuations? You know those first-rate properties they always turn up with when they retire? The jet set life they shouldn't be able to afford? I can go on and on.
@WallStreetApes Actually nobody ever asked for the tired, hungry, and poor. Some dipshit just slapped that on us.
We were looking for a very different type of human.
In most of Latin America, LGBT marriage and adoption is legal. Drug use is legal or tolerated. Covid vaccination rate is very high.
Romania and Bulgaria has a similar median IQ to LatAm and look how much more conservative they are. For 80-90 IQ countries, the Orthodox Church seems to be the optimal religious model.
