I like how they are assuming that despite these things being "worth" $1000 and forecasted to appreciate that over the next 10 years 90% of them will still be thrown out or otherwise destroyed

I don't know if it was an example of eternal growth optimism or just a rare sign of corporate generosity, but the TY CEO gave all his employees a massive bonus during the Beanie Baby peak. Like, 100% of your yearly salary bonus. The BWM were any employees who spent that expecting a second bonus next year, because the market in Beanies was downhill from there.

Children legitimately destroy your body and your spirit so it's not quiet as easy as saying they're an excuse to let yourself go. They are cute though.

The rush of physical and chemical changes required to knit another human into existence can deffo gently caress you up, especially if you live in a supercapitalist hellstate that has gently caress all in the way of post-partum rehab or maternal leave. At an individual level some handle it better than others, particularly if they have more money and/or resilience, but denying women what they need to recover and then criticizing them for not doing so is hosed up. Rare gwm moment: some car mechanic posted a huge write up on how to buy a car without getting swindled by shady dealers and craigslist conmen trying to push a lemon. It's not the normal schadenfreude but this crowd would probably find value in it, except for zaurg who'll somehow do the exact opposite. e. loving bbcode Guest2553 fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Dec 30, 2019 |

Except sometimes your kids are really great at something and make a ton of money, then they're GWM, eventually. Definitely Bad With Health too as you suffer sleep loss for years, and nearly any free time you had to exercise goes out the window for quite a while.

bob dobbs is dead posted:the traditional way the working class has gained leverage over the elite class is by dying a lot and having the supply of labor go down You have to update your history books. More recent estimates put the black death at 30% - 60% death rates, with most major cities and towns being closer to 60%. It also helped that most survivors got multiple inheritances early, allowing them to do capital heavy things that normal people in the working class couldn't. Also, the lack of people due to megadeaths cause the average wage to triple from the previous century, while grain prices plummeted. Moreover, the black death also helped keep those inheritances together. Because the plague didn't just disappear after the initial black death. Instead, it came back about every 15-25 years to prey upon the next generation that had been born after the last wave of plague. For example, while London got hit with the black death in 1348, there were later waves of bubonic plague that ravaged the city in 1361, 1368, 1375, 1382, and 1390. This ensured those concentrated inheritances stayed concentrated, instead of spreading out in the next baby boom. golden bubble fucked around with this message at 01:13 on Dec 31, 2019 |

Some cities/countries managed to avoid the first wave of the Black Death. Iceland was plague free until the early 15th century. So I imagine they’d be good control groups when comparing upward peasant mobility and plague. Iceland got absolutely murdered when they finally did get exposed to it in one of those later waves. BWM: family dead, upside down on heriot, and now I don’t feel so good either.

My little brother had a massive baseball card collection and the only time it ever proved useful was when the wacky morning show asked for David Justice's middle name and I won Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball on SNES. That $40 game was probably worth more than all of his boxes of cards and provided exponentially more joy.

The topic of 90's collectibles got me thinking. Has there been any collectibles since the 1990s that have actually increased in value? It seems like that was the era when people realized that a bunch of crap the baby boomers threw away was suddenly worth money and started holding onto anything deemed collectible assuming they'd gain value. I can't really think of anything that has other than a few vinyl record releases that had limited releases at the end of the original vinyl era.

I can't really think of anything that has other than a few vinyl record releases that had limited releases at the end of the original vinyl era. I don't know if this counts, but there's a pretty thriving resale market for Shoyorolls, they're a specific brand of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu apparel released sporadically with limited numbers, and they sponsor a bunch of BJJ names (Bourdain wore their poo poo exclusively when he trained). Example: this retailed for like a buck fifty - now you're lucky to cop one for under a grand https://www.ebay.com/itm/Shoyoroll-Gray-Grey-Skies-2-Brand-New-bjj-gi-syr-jiujitsu-Illest-A2H-/302762167785 Loads of people collect those, and the price increase in some of the earlier stuff is substantial due to rarity and demand and the existing stock of them getting destroyed with use.
