Imagine being forced to give someone 6.2% of your paycheck, every single check, every month, for 30 to 50 years of your life.
And that person said, "Don't worry, I'm holding this for you and will pay it back to you on a monthly basis, when you retire at 65."
And then they said, "Nah, just kidding. I meant when you retire at 67. And at that time, I'll only give you 70% of what you paid me."
And then they said, "Oops, I spent all your money. You're out of luck."
That's the U.S. government.
The level of betrayal that has played out here is insane.
Normally, labor scarcity is how an economy heals itself. When workers become harder to find, employers have to raise wages to deal with it, and out of this market slowdown the seeds of a new boom would be sowed as young people have greater purchasing power to buy a home, get married, and have kids of their own.
But instead of allowing that correction to happen, America chose a different model. We’ve mass imported millions of replacements to suppress wages, blowing out asset prices in the process and leaving native Americans economically (and increasingly culturally and politically) dispossessed in their own country.
@Nonesuch00@bradkozy So you think hasbro fucking things up going forward will kill the prices of older and already established cards? Sounds pretty uneducated to me considering the game has more players now than ever before…
@Garland_Matt@simpleminingio Just looking to lower my energy costs. Been mining with you guys for almost four years at this point. Even newer machines are barely profitable at the .08/kwh pricing.
@kirinthehoney@WobboGobbo You’re both retarded lol I’ve gotten every secret lair I’ve ever wanted. Only one that was questionable was the recent goblin deck. I feel like scalping isn’t nearly as rampant as yall make it seem. You also have the same opportunity to get these products as the scalpers
I did not see this coming, but my election has become an inflection point for our whole country. Today we make history.
Will you be part of this historic day by voting, calling friends who can vote, posting to social media, or making a donation?
Spread the word fellow patriots!
@TheFNBeauski Literally stated in that waiting area before the sale went live that ALL of the people there before sale time would be RANDOMLY placed in line. It’s quite literally luck…
@MightyQ@Wizards This is like the whiniest little bitch post ever. You can literally make the deck they just sold. It’s not even that great at being a storm deck. I’m happy you didn’t get shit with this awful attitude lol
