my bony fealty posted:a classic red bull has like 80mg caffeine and now all the Bang! and Ghost and whatever poo poo has 300mg. even the caffeinated seltzers they market as metabolic boosters and fat burners and pre-workout like Celsius have 160-200mg. insane lol. my ex-job had a coffee machine like 20 feet away from my desk and at one point i was drinking like 6 cups a day before i cut back bc the dentist said it was staining my teeth and i got massive headaches on weekends without caffeine now i'm off both caffeine and sugary soda (bought a drinkmate and adapter) and no longer have constant teeth issues

Don't Lego hold their value better than pretty much any other product? That's an heirloom son.

One thing I remember from the last time I went to Panera is that drinks were now like $3.50 for a regular or something outrageous, OR you had the option to pay $12/mo for the unlimited coffee/Tea/soda club. That's probably a factor in people chugging so much of this, either trying to get their money's worth on a $3.50 drink and/or make use of that $12 drink subscription

Many years ago, but I remember how the CEO of Red Lobster had to address the "all you can eat crab legs" promo being quite a hardship.

The jobless rate fell 3.7% in November, compared to a forecast of 3.9%. The economy added 199,000 jobs, slightly ahead of the 190,000 estimate from Dow Jones and the 150,000 added in October. https://twitter.com/zerohedge/status/1733119540303708378

The economy added 199,000 jobs, slightly ahead of the 190,000 estimate from Dow Jones and the 150,000 added in October. Every time I see things like this I ruminate on a potential realignment in which work was not linked to livelihood and we could invert this trend to reduce jobs and transition to a leisure society.

UBI would completely remove any class and political power from people, so really you just have to look ahead a decade, two, maybe a generation and see that the people obsessed with profits and who are ideologically poisoned against not just a welfare state, social welfare (in the sense of communal wellbeing) but the idea of society in general, and realize that given people would have total dependance on them, would be removed from any political power, lose the ability to use labour as leverage, and presumably be more socially isolated than ever and so unable to organize, the temptation to just starve out undesirables by ending UBI (which would be used as justification to cut most social benefits once implemented, that's how liberals talk about UBI now anyways) would be insurmountable. I feel like a lot of squishy anarchist, progressive liberal types see UBI and MAID as positive things and not the perfect Calm Hitler solution to surplus labour, a play in two acts.

anime was right posted:doomsday economics: we're always wrong but also always right here’s why that is. it’s relatively easy to see casual loops if one is looking at a system honestly. if one can see the causal loops, then one can have a good sense of eventual states of the system. So to see what will happen isn’t impossible or hard really. But to know when things will happen or a quantifiable scale of how much or the degree to which a thing will happen, or the frequency of an oscillation, needs real in depth modeling of the systems, rooted in good detailed data, improved by iteration and being tested against actual outcomes. which is all really really hard and requires participation of the people who are directly involved in running the systems which we wouldn’t ever get. so we are damned to see what will happen, but without the timeline or degree, and thus never able to do anything about it or to benefit from knowing other than indirectly.
