Corporate welfare for them, austerity for you. Tax cuts for them, sorry not enough to fund social security we’ll have to raise retirement age or cut benefits.

Bad ass mofos, every one.

Every shit that guy makes for the rest of his career is a dagger to a Mavs fan.

It’s not delusion, they know it is not a real product, not real value, etc. but they are paid for companies whose entire future has been built on the emperor’s new clothes. Rich powerful people get news interviews, people who don’t want to keep up a profitable facade (however temporary) do not.

How revolutionary. They’re going to upend the world of finance by trying to give loans to people who can’t structurally afford to pay them back in all likelihood? Isn’t that the entire playbook for wage slaves to those who are otherwise of sound mind and body?

Maybe they try to just continue with the current (awful)status quo without the psuedoscience? Course then they’d lose out on the fascism.

Sociology is one of the few majors that Florida is trying to cut from public school programs. They apparently think it radicalizes people to educate them about the way the world works.

Also, 20x the price of the original item.

There goes my stock trading freeride. Luckily pretty much everyone in Congress is insider trading so shouldn’t take long.

Strange no legislation passed on this…🤔

At some point they’ll realize Putin is not running a car import business either and could maybe see through a bit of the fog, but they won’t. Willful blinders don’t come off.

They would rather deny their children schooling than admit they were wrong and foolish.

I hope more join them.

Professional gun operators.

Have you tried accommodation, no consequences and tolerance? Works every time toward fascists.

The bubble was accelerated by people assuming prices would always rise, often their own greed and flipping or becoming landlords, and this was only possible due to the financial engineering that made lending to these folks posivle, but all of that droce the value of the underlying assets down significantly.

You claim there wasn’t a bubble…look at home price values in the sunbelt in 05 vs 2009.

TF are you talking about there wasn’t a bubble

You’ll note they always use “average”(mean) rather than median savings/assets to mask that it’s really a small portion of boomers that are living the easy life. Still better off as a whole than later gens but to your point, no warfare but class warfare. I read a recent book , “work, retire, repeat” looking at the life crisis that has been built with insecurity and poverty driving most people, regardless of age to work too much and work until they die. Your point is the best one; billionaires and their lobbyists and owned politicians are the real problem.

There are many boomers with nothing, who did not have or get a pension, who didn’t or couldn’t accumulate wealth through housing, who may not have gone to college because (and the article leaves this out) they didn’t even need a degree to move up. The book mentioned above calls out that only 8% of people working past 62 are doing it because they really want to be and have a job they enjoy. Many are still working for healthcare, to service debt, concerns of future unknown/instability/inflation, social security being threatened, and also it notes they many keep working because they have kids or other dependents they see struggling in a tougher world and want to help/ensure they aren’t another burden.

I’m not a boomer or discounting the relative advantages they had, but it’s the concentration of wealth to the owner class/.5% that are by far the issue not an age group.

Damn, appears I’ve whooshed it

“WMP” is not exactly the delivery you want if you’re bragging about typing, unless you’re specifically trying to prove your error rate in the same claim.

There might have been some important information in the thread above me but I can’t be bothered to read and comprehend it so I put it into my AI and it said I should vote for Musk and jello was purple.

Bond.

Half of the plot points from all the movies have been enacted, attempted or discussed in the first year of Trump’s presidency by his cabinet, handlers, backers or string-pullers or funders. Fictional supervillains as entertainment are a distraction, dangerously so when the real thing is happening as we speak.

Who are you and how did you get in here?

I think the ability to search and filter will start to be restricted as well. At this juncture people are still under the illusion AI will be an annoying bolt-on to their experience; it won’t be. The “dead internet” will not just be searches that don’t show what is truly available on google; websites themselves, rather than offering robust tools to find and understand and review products will begin to force you to use their AI funnel, which as you said will just be a paid delivery funnel for 1 final product. Many won’t notice the change, but there will come a day.
