In this graph every Recession has a complete disconnect between UE rate and jobless claims though.

We had like over a year of babbling about "disinflation" and nonstop scolding from Brandon's handlers and butt-wipers that we were imagining the Bad Vibes Economy.

Now they're warning they need to hike to get inflation under control.

Yeah they don’t know what they’re doing and what they want is mass layoffs but companies aren’t going along with it because it’s unnecessary.

Wages are outpacing inflation and companies are raking in money. The layoffs have all been to please Wall Street for a stock boost and savings so they can complete their stock buybacks.

I'm reading Secondhand Time: The Last of the Soviets right now and I think we're a ways away yet. Like... the part where nobody knew what the gently caress was going on, it being impossible to get many simple consumer goods and people trying on new ideologies like they would a hat seems resonant.

But we have a ways to go before federal authority degrades so much that a putsch is attempted. Maybe in another 10 years if the courts keep it up.

It’s only been a few years since streaming became a viable option over torrents and they’ve already hosed it up enough that I’m starting to consider downloading cars again instead of paying to get stuff above board.

It's very clearly exploitation but on the other hand I would have greatly benefitted from having more professional pipelines as a teenager and might have actually appreciated this

Like it or not though the next generation of game developers will have started in Roblox and there is no amount of child gambling that will ever make Roblox more exploitative than FullSail or the DeVry institute, so I can't really be that mad about it

Edit: I bet at least one person in this thread is still paying off student loans from FullSail lmao

any child who became a developer from Roblox is going to be immediately pissed at discovering that their dev job isn’t “deliver what the users crave” which trains you to focus on user asks as your primary driver for development planning.

then they get into a company and have their first (of an infinite number) of experiences learning that the right way to deliver a feature to customers is either not at all or crippled, because business model.
