I only found out this weekend that some SAG/WGA members dont get a strike fund (or get reduced benefits), even if they're members of the union. Like there's a 2 year period before you get access to those bennies. Pretty hosed up

this is the future of the internet. in time, all content will be chased out except networks of bot-written garbage linking to other bot-written garbage and affiliate marketing links

This is the ideal they're trying to achieve. A bunch of bots creating content for other bots. There want no humans on either end of the transaction but still want all the money on earth

So apologies in advance if I'm dumb as poo poo, but I'm looking at money supply numbers (M1) and I'm seeing:

$3,981.4 B in February 2020
$16,244.2 B in May 2020

So that's an increase of about $12.3 trillion; from looking at numbers online they sent out $814 B in stimulus checks and $790 B in PPP. So the rest went out to banks, right? If true that is loving wild - if they sent that out to everyone in the country directly instead that would've been around $30k per person!

It looks like it peaked north of $20 trillion and has since come down, I'm guessing the additional $4 trillion off my numbers was funding the various relief bills

It also went to states to fund expanded unemployment at +$600/week & other auxiliary services managed by the states, like medicaid, as well as to schools & local health depts. (and government contractors, ofc).

I’ve never seen anything like it or probably I was too stupid to see it in the Obama years. Just the complete and utter disregard for reality. Everyone is in total economic precarity. There are no jobs open. The cost of food and housing has tripled or quadrupled and wages have topped out a whopping $15 per hour. It’s insane how desperate things are compared to ten or even five years ago. No graduates are getting jobs and the STEM lie has snapped in half. And B is turning the loans back on!!!!

lib index funds and 401k’s are crawling back though, and that’s The Economy :smug:
