The downside of consolidation is inefficiency in the absence of competition. Economies of scale can more than compensate for these losses, but the inefficiencies accumulate and compound over time.
There a 3 crude types of socio-political arrangements for societal consolidations:
1. Moral consolidation
2. Optimized consolidation
3. Incomplete consolidation
These dictate the distribution of material goods.
@ReubenR80027912@EnricopalazzoD@Brien_Jackson That their husband might desire them for sex means that he doesn't respect their true self. They bathe in this girl boss feminism. Drunken hookups in college are a different thing than sex with their husband. That's just not what marriage is for.
@ReubenR80027912@EnricopalazzoD@Brien_Jackson This is antithetical to professional career women. Their husbands married them for their awesome ideas and sophisticated opinions. They have prestigious degrees and shit. They supervise others like lower status women who would probably do blowjobs.
@ReubenR80027912@EnricopalazzoD@Brien_Jackson It's totally a UMC thing. Educated professional women despise sex with their boring educated professional husbands. My whole social network is here. No one got fat. The men don't cheat or leave (that would be low class). The guys just accept it and complain a bit to each other.
@Holdup66161782@viceroy_gaga Nurse in her late 20s. Chased Chad but struck out. Hottie in her day but past her prime. Biological clock is ticking. Flirt with Dr. Nice Guy. He bites. Set the hook. Reel him in. Get a big house, a nice car, foreign travel. Stay home and raise kids with a part time nanny.
@HandyHomeBuyers@authenticwise_@MilGrauNews I saw a case like this 20 years ago. 13 yo girl with a pelvic mass. The anatomy was distorted. We thought it was a rhabdo or some other STS. Bx showed germinoma(seminoma) with XY karyotype. Much less drama and douchebaggery. Good prognosis for the cancer.
Enrolling my daughter for college and it is apparent that moving this process online removed a lot of practical constraints to bureaucratic requirements compared to when I headed off to school.
@eugyppius1@Porkchop_EXP Consolidation creates economies of scale that are larger than we on the right typically acknowledge. Without competition, inefficiencies accumulate but are more than offset and are tolerated because deconsolidation risks a massive loss of wealth.
@avrilbradley23 In my experience (long ago and far away) it was working class kids picking off the meeker middle class kids. It probably varies a lot, and who's doing the bullying depends on the particular social mix.
@xenocosmography@MikeAnissimov2 By helicoptered I mean humanely flown to the Falkland islands to peacefully live out their days sipping tea and wearing wool sweaters.
@xenocosmography@MikeAnissimov2 There are maybe 20,000 true believers (who aren't dysfunctionally insane). The rest is patronage and status positioning. But 20,000 would have to be helicoptered.
@DrInsensitive Nurses are well compensated, but many are culturally working class and have working class sexual mores. Sensitive young men from the middle class and upper middle class who enter medical professions discover the nurses are not like their moms/sisters/HS girlfriends.
@SaysSimulation I’m a cancer doc and see this. Affluent spinsters usually have a pretty good social network. It will be harder for the much larger Gen X and Millennial spinster cohorts.
