i turn on NPR once in awhile when im driving before getting increasingly angry, every single time, and it feels like they're doing 24/7 donation begging drives these days

i usually last about 3-5 minutes before rage quitting and putting on a podcast instead

I love getting refi notices on my car. Sure I would love a lower car payment, but I also don't want to be paying for my car for an additional 7 years. I put down as much as I could afford for a down payment so that I wouldn't have to get another 7 year loan.

You don't have to refinance for seven years, it could be for a shorter period of time.

Podcasts are already ruined. It's hard to find anything new that is good since it's just an endless sea of audio from youtube videos of 2 people talking at each other about nothing or reading reddit out loud and reacting.

Where the gently caress does anyone get the notion that the company famous for strangling brick-and-mortar businesses to death would revitalize their brick-and-mortar temple to consumerism and 1980s optimism?

That's always a part I found strangely confusing I mean surely a big collapse would hurt everyone right. Proportionally of course the poor will suffer more but if you just grind america in a general sense down into poverty the rich people won't be as rich as they once were and that seems like it should be something they'd want to avoid?

It's even worse: it's assets all over the world in countless different countries with an endless series of subsidies and laws. Only a nation with overwhelming military and political might could even hope to (edit: recoup, but it still made sense in context of you like read it as hoping to the throne or whatever) 75 percent of the value in total. Why on earth should they put in that effort for some useless idiot not attached to an apparatus that can already do that (because they destroyed it's ability to do so)? Because they promise to destroy them too?

the fact that they cannot pick up and carry the means of production to new zealand actually makes it much easier to take them away. the money is fake, but the physical resources that are partially embodied in it are real and cannot be easily moved. we don't want their mansions or their fancy cars, we want the infrastructure. the money in the bank accounts means nothing

this is of course in a fantasy scenario where the power of the state is being wielded for the benefit of the working class, which isn't going to happen in america

Amazon built a Fresh in a town close to mine almost two years ago, and it was supposed to open six months ago. It's still vacant and taking up space in a busy shopping district.
