Heard about this, but it's kind of broken because Boomers are still in control.

WWI wiped out just enough people, silent had a low birth rate, and Baby boomers have been in control of the usa, and the world, since their suburban family birth, to now dying while still in office.




Biden is kind of a late silent 1942, but his voters are boomers.

The alternatives are also real bad.

People who blow apart their finances for dumb mortgages are one group that I kind of like to laugh at despite knowing better but we're definitely at the point where a wildly unaffordable mortgage doesn't actually mean you're making a bad housing choice. If your options are 40% of your income on a mortgage or nearly as much or more on renting then it's like, I dunno, man. None of those options are good and praying you can hold out for more income or a rate decrease isn't necessarily any dumber than permanently funneling that same money at a landlord.

If you're stuck in that situation then you might as well tell yourself some lies about how how it's going to be okay.

China ups export curbs on key EV battery component, safeguarding graphite amid US tensions


quote:

China will impose additional export restrictions on selected graphite products from December to safeguard national security, the country’s commerce ministry and customs authorities said on Friday, in the latest move to control the supply of critical raw materials amid rising tensions with the United States.

Looks like China is responding to those new tech export restrictions from the US with some of its own.

i think JB reached market saturation years ago, and people are overall moving away from candy. so if you can't grow the company, you can instead squeeze out profit by cost-cutting and raking the remaining consumers like the good little paypiggies they are

i have a fondness since i grew up and live near the JB plant and used to go there occasionally for like grade school trips and stuff. they have some good flavors.

but that it was a private family control for over 150 years is honestly kind of impressive. but they were also super reaganites
