It's why the interior is all greys and blacks now, to look "classier". Menu prices have been hiked way higher, and they're supposedly using higher quality ingredients ( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p-7zED_o62w

https://www.politico.com/news/2023/07/27/biden-student-loans-bidenomics-00107601quote:Jared Bernstein, Biden’s top economic adviser, said the administration believes the effects of restarting student loan payments will be “small enough that they shouldn’t be felt in the overall macro economy.” He cited a 0.3 percent drop in annual consumer spending that reduces GDP by 0.2 percent as the “high-end estimate.” Those who have student loans are insignificant peons that the ruling class is happy to let twist in the wind. We knew this was their attitude already, but the brazen callousness of it is something to read in print. F_Shit_Fitzgerald has issued a correction as of 17:22 on Jul 27, 2023 |

Employers who can force loan holders into lovely, exploitative jobs are probably the ones benefiting most directly.

Xaris posted:well, I'm using the term loosely: not just the roads, or the utilities, or the machinery, or the buildings, but most importantly the people/labor located & trained to utilize it for the production of commodities* (not just a widget but services) the state doesn’t always take it over. here’s what I’ve seen. the business uses the old equipment (and here I’m thinking of a bulk cargo loading facility) well past full depreciation. The ongoing maintenance cost is far lower than capital costs for a new facility. until ongoing maintenance and labor operation costs are greater than the new capital cost minus the efficiencies of the greater capacity of the new system they just keep chugging along. sometimes for a hundred + years. where infrastructure is left to rot, (and here I’m thinking of steel in specific cities) it happened because new facilities were significantly more competitive than fully depreciated more labor intense old facilities. the state doesn’t get involved and didn’t take on costs. for public infrastructure it’s a different situation and what I would b say is one probably actually has to look at the numbers for ongoing maintenance in each specific instance. we defer lsome extremely important public infrastructure maintenance that is extremely affordable and well within the ability of the state to afford to do. (dredging locks on the Mississippi would be the one I have in my head). I guess what I’m saying is that I’m not sure the material maintenance case drives the decisions. the ideological / political does.

SKULL.GIF posted:You could make money off the margins of selling huge amounts of volume to cheap consumers, or you could make a higher % return on selling to a smaller group of more expensive consumers. The latter looks *much* better to investors and stockholders even if it's overall less lucrative.
