@gilduran76 @GeorgeLakoff The party of These Problems Cannot Be Solved.

Revenue? Taxes don't work. Shootings? Law doesn't work. Wages? Regulation doesn't work. It's a worship of impossibility.

Sometimes it's hard to know why prices are going up. Between the oil shock, a tight employment market and the climate polycrisis, is it even possible to tell if companies are using the widespread *belief* in inflation to hike prices? Uh, yeah, we *absolutely* can. 1/

@EdwardMSuarez @nytimes California has the ~5th largest economy in the world, doesn't it?

@cvspharmacy I want the algorithm to spread this promoted tweet to everyone helpfully obstructed for growth by your godawful telephone labyrinth.

@vaspider They don't return shopping carts to the corral. They've paid their money and gotten their products, and they gain no advantage for returning the shopping cart. Companies don't do uncompensated labor. That's for people, the rubes.

[Sharp Reminder @rhdaly]

@vaspider I guess. I don't really want to interact with it directly qua the algorithm.

But it reminds me of a difference between companies and people: companies don't tip the waitstaff. Companies don't, as a policy, add a gratuity to an invoice after completion of terms, just to be nice.

@mxSophieH @nakou Somehow you have made Chess less of a look-ahead contest but more of a brain burner. I admire it.

[Sharp Reminder @rhdaly]

@mxSophieH @nakou Huh! That's pretty cool. What has the result been of making Rooks a D6?

[Sharp Reminder @rhdaly]

@DichotomusPrime Yes, this. Is this inspired at all by the various articles/threads/conversations among digital game makers about hidden mechanics? There's a lot of "GM Fudging" going on behind the scenes to favor players in most video games.

@slowhoneybee @AviWoolf The fact that it is political isn't evidence that it should be more political.

@MikeGIn713 @NicoleSganga I had that question, too. Maybe indiscriminate?

COVID-19 was the leading cause of death for 45-54 year olds in 2021.

I feel like we keep talking about low unemployment without acknowledging how it's tied to the fact that a million people died.
