DancingShade posted:I'm reminded of a decade or two back when Germany decided to start repatriating its gold from Britain to store in their own vaults and Britain could somehow only repatriate a small amount every year because they "had to recast it and that takes time you see". I'm certain it wasn't because they were scrambling to find actual real physical gold to send back because the London vaults were largely empty. Nah, it just takes years and years to cast a few tons of gold and ship them within Europe. I don't remember if Germany got all its gold back. Frankly I didn't care just found the whole thing funny. there was a dude some years back who found a way into the london vaults through underground maintenance and sewage tunnels

Every year people we know will tell us that we should sell produce from our garden at the farmer's market, or that we should make a gardening YouTube channel, or why do we put so much effort into it if we're not making money from it? I got into a small argument with a family member when I told him I was scaling back/more or less abandoning my fairly profitable 3d printing side gig because I wanted it to just be a hobby.

Taima posted:Only 18.2% dude? I tracked my food bills and it's more like 50%. I plead with the god of number that food only rises 18.2%, that is some pie in the sky positive thinking fairy world poo poo for food to ONLY rise 18.2% 18.2% is an economist number, so by definition out of touch with the real world. I can see it with my eyes that things that used to be 5$ are now 7-8$ and this is common. 18.2% is laughable.

Capitalism requires money to distributed through transactional relationships for it to work. Billionaires should have to do required reading on these sorts of things before the torch and pitchfork phase of the Cool Zone kicks in.

Oh yeah bread is 50% more expensive and rice and the meats are like 20-30% more, keep tracking inflation at like 10% or something.

eXXon posted:That just means bigger fish and chips, innit? The Farming & Rural Affairs Minister made a big deal of telling everyone "sure, tomatoes & lettuce & all the good vegetables cost lots, but you can just buy turnips", while at the same time the nation's largest turnip farmer, who is based in her constituency, came out & said that he'd had to quit the turnip farming game because supermarkets are forcing the prices so low that it's no longer affordable to grow them. Genius economic system. People probably need to pay more for food so that farmers can actually afford to grow things. Offset this by reducing how much they spend on rent for example. Reduce commuting costs by copying Luxembourg and just having free public transport. Whatever. None of this will happen because we're absolutely incapable of considering an alternative to capitalism, even as it shits itself horrendously, causing massive damage to millions AGAIN forkboy84 has issued a correction as of 14:32 on Mar 22, 2023 |

It's very cool the apartment I live in is a "luxury apartment" that doesn't even have a real vent exhaust over the stove and instead just blows straight up onto the cabinets and to the ceiling. Greasy cabinets and a grease stain on the ceiling. $2200\mo for this poo poo lol.

fits my needs posted:i thought people were saying schwab was possibly at risk too There are fits and stops of people getting very concerned about any financial institutions that has significant bond holdings as part of their assets. I don't know if Schwab is going to be immune to more panic fits in terms of stock share price, but people seem to have calmed down about them for now. Schwab really isn't in the same situation as First Republic or SVB or Signature, but who knows.
