for banks, an absurd fraction of cryptocurrency transactions are just straight up cases of old people falling for scams.

Had to track down the story since all the idiots on Xitter squawking about it wouldn't link it: https://www.usnews.com/news/technology/articles/2023-09-26/jpmorgans-uk-bank-chase-to-ban-crypto-transactions

Looks like it's just Chase specifically not JPM as a whole?

I think this is doomsday Econ related.

A CSL Behring drug manufacturing plant a bit South of Chicago appears to be all set to go on strike at some point after their contract expires tomorrow.

I bet some people here can explain what this will mean to the price of drugs. I am guessing they go up, but that was going to happen anyways.

we absolutely would not have gotten the same UI program without trump not giving 1 poo poo about signing off on whatever lol. abuela would have made sure to slow roll it and tack on 40 bajillion qualifiers and mean test it to hell to force folks back to work. lol at thinking a democrat would be more reasonable on this

a really fun stat to point out to my decorum poisoned lib friends is that by every metric used, Trump personally oversaw the largest and swiftest reduction in poverty in American history

of course the takeaway isn't "Trump good" it's that giving very poor people a small but significant amount of money without conditions has an absolutely massive impact on their lives and they aren't just spending it on drugs and booze or whatever the gently caress politicians say whenever it comes up

capitalism is when the class of people who make money by buying labor power to make more money (i.e., the bourgeoisie) control the state, and use it to ensure that the class of people who sell their labor for money to survive (i.e., the working class) always need to do that. the bourgeois state is not in the business of ensuring you get what you pay for, but in the business of making sure capitalists have much more money than they need, and workers have less money than they need.

actually, i think u will find that capitalism is when people exchange goods in a "market"--a feature that was unknown to humankind until the the late 18th century

I sometimes feel economists are like Peter Pan. They can’t spout their made up bullshit unless they are happy. And all those bad vibes are making them unhappy. So they must constantly remind everyone that the economists are never wrong, and that it is the general public who are wrong about everything. Then the economists can continue to live in their happy little bubble of contradictions.

Every economist out there only looks at, at maximum, one year back. They will sit there and pout that inflation over the last 3 months is only 2% so why are you saying the economy is bad??? They completely ignore that prices since 2019 are up 200+% and wages are only up 35~%. It’s infuriating.

A pretty common thing with American liberal capitalists is ignoring history and only looking forward to next quarter.

It is just in time manufacturing.

I don’t think mid tier and above wages and salaries have gone up as much (percentage wise )
