which sure, is a great recipe for the leadership to cash out, but i just don't think it's happening. they tried to get acquired like 3 years ago, it failed, and now no one wants to touch that trash

they'll be dead in a few years and a ton of walled off information will be gone with it

Kagi has a built in forum filter. unfortunately it's a subscription service, its results aren't always great and its date filters are also broken, the results have gotten worse in the last 3 months, and their new mobile safari extension that lets you use it as the default doesn't work so I am using Google anyway. also, they're investing their big :10bux:/mo into AI and building a web browser.

But realistically, is it? Would there be any enforcement action or would they just check to see that they have money and that yes they can treat people like this because they have an exemption somewhere due to the presence of 20,000 dollars somewhere?

If you answer yes is there a dropdown to clarify it was for right wing reasons? That’s usually allowed.

is unemployment going to just lag this depression due to the lack of workers over the past 4 years

Unemployment always lags. Always. The "best" job market (in terms of top line numbers) is usually right before everything goes to poo poo, and the worst job market will be after NBER declares the recession is over and potentially for many, many more years after that. The recession will be real when unemployment starts rapidly climbing and it will be over when unemployment has peaked into pure misery.

Anyone who can look at a graph knows this. Economists all know this, they just lie their asses off because they know most people aren't looking at graphs and don't realize that the ultra mega good times are usually what precedes poo poo falling off a cliff.

Like the whole discussion around unemployment is incredibly frustrating because it's baked into the definition. We need to rely on our auspices to tell us when a recession is happening and they're specifically reading the entrails of unemployed workers along with the bloody guts of GDP. If unemployment isn't going up yet then we aren't in a recession, so unemployment is definitionally always behind.

One of my wife's friends is being fired from her job at a nursing home. She is being fired because a PE firm took the home over and she's not working hard enough to extend stays. They have a lot of people who come in after surgery or a fall or whatever for observation / recuperation and her boss told her that her 'deliverable metric' last year was to make those stays longer.

The AI stuff can't really get "better" in this context because its purpose is to optimize for SEO, not to provide useful content. Nobody would bother with generative AI if it was making things for people to read.

You realize y'all have been saying this for well over a year right? That recession is right around the corner (or, on the more unhinged side, that we are actually in one but the government is lying)?

Is the goal here to continue saying it until you are eventually proven right, and then smugly go "heh, I told you"?

the US "economy" has been miserable for working class people since 2008, and getting worse. the only relief was pandemic assistance checks, extended unemployment, and the student debt repayment pause.

the only question is when the popular press will call what we're in "a recession," or if number will go up and it will continue to be ignored

hell there was even a brief media panic week last year when the "technical definition" of a recession (back to back quarters of negative GDP) was breached and everybody decided to rewrite the definition and pretend it actually didn't matter.
