This is what they think but it’s not actually true. Covid proves it - they killed over a million workers but now they can’t wrap their heads around the labour shortage and the economy is destabilizing.

I assure you nothing will change unless a certain market segment can no longer order next year's Ferrari, $50k watches, fine Italian woolens or alcohol by the crate. Fortunately they can get all of those imported if necessary so the local economy doesn't really come into it.

It's funny, I've been meaning to start on The Oxford Handbook of Luxury Business, but it does seem as if luxury branding in particular has an intoxicating effect on rich people. What I mean is, consuming luxury goods seems more important to them than I would have thought, and the book argues has grown more important since 2008. Like I said, I haven't had the chance to start it, but I wouldn't have expected so much energy to go into things that won't make them happy, they know won't make them happy etc.

For whatever reason the national newspaper for PMC and above has had multiple articles on tasting menus recently, including one on the cover this weekend about how they're a "luxury worth affording" or something along those lines. In light of food prices shooting upwards here it seems particularly tone deaf, but the thing I want to zero in on, and this might be a misconception on my part, is the urgency in which they talk about consuming luxuries. It's not like indulging yourself or even the smol bean self care thing of a few years back, it feels kind of intense. Although that reminds me of the worst characters on the worst lib fantasy show, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u094qvRYDA0

Hadlock posted:Conversely check out the g factor or the bell curve, there's a lot written on the topic in both directions, consensus has not changed overall, and I'm not here to try and change anyone's opinion today, I think we've gone way off track, the point I was making was that different kids have different educational needs. If you want to pick a less taboo one than IQ I'm open to discussing it using that blessed term instead.

it got lost in multiple re-wordings but it's not something i spent a fortune on either. it's not on the menu, it's not advertised, and the chef's cooking for you or someone else anyway so they ring it up as price+ of what they used making it. ends up being about the same price as a meal in the kind of places that would do it.

Swiss Minister of Finance, who helped engineer the CS/UBS Bailout/Merger and defended the necessity of paying bonuses to outgoing CS employees is calling for cuts to Social Social security to help pay for budget shortfalls. Last year, Switzerland approved the raising of retirement age of women by one year to 65 (now same as men) and declined to do any COLA for SS benefits in the face of record inflation. https://twitter.com/tagesanzeiger/status/1640789874998386694

HallelujahLee posted:this guys iq seems low hes not wrong that students tend to stay within the same level of academic peformance throughout their career regardless of interventions, which suggests that some genetic basis of intelligence (that we have yet to understand) is a deciding factor in outcomes what he glossed over* was that these discrepancies dont exist across race. so some kids tend to be naturally dumber/smarter compared to their peers (and we currently have no way to fix this), but no races tend to be dumber/smarter than others you kind of have to compare the research to figure this out, hence occasionally looking at lovely stuff like the bell curve. theres nothing inherently wrong with engaging with it seriously. and like, theres nothing inherently anti-left about natural talent deciding outcomes within cohorts. there are absolutely leftist ways to accommodate this conclusion and provide fair, just education systems for all students. we cant provide these systems unless we understand how the needs of these kids actually works, and that means confronting the reality of the situation, even if the science leads to uncomfortable places. you cant just throw out science, in fact good science should be the basis of a rational communist society. you can do the science better but you cant just ignore the conclusions you dont like. if you refuse to even consider things like intelligence scores and academic testing then youre ignoring the actual needs of kids and frankly youre not really committed to acadmic justice *I dont see why he wouldve needed to bring this up bc they were discussing gifted student programs, not whether Asians are better at math or whatever, so idk why people are acting like hes a race scientist or something
