Scams are omnipresent destroying any sense of trust. Leadership has officially declared that your death by starvation or disease is not their problem and you will be punished for complaining. Anyone who tries to fix anything is murdered.

Social media and phones are just scaffolding so support pillars can be removed without the whole thing collapsing on their heads. They provide links to the dwindling pockets of civilization but these links are means tested so everyone doesn’t reach the point of desperation at the same time and develop some sort of solidarity. Just a constant dribble of death. Everyone aware that it could be them next but just holding onto the hope that their connections haven’t dried up yet.

RealityWarCriminal posted:kids don't know poo poo about the social fabric dissolving, but I bet their parents do some maybe? a lot of people have a vague sense that there's *something* wrong, but are inundated with propaganda telling them to blame all of society's problems on the existence of gays/minorities or the fact that somewhere in the world there's someone who believes in the wrong made-up religion.

How does a price index measure work? I assume it is just saying prices exploded way beyond historical measures.

Raccooon posted:Ah so from that 1980 price is the value they are comparing against? That chart is multiplying the housing price index against the average 30-year fixed rate, which is why it spikes. The reality is that the spike should be much larger because of how severely interest rate affects affordability, assuming you aren't expecting rates to plummet any time soon.

The Oldest Man posted:dei is just woke human resources. they exist to channel employee dissent into useless activities and to sabotage and co-opt any prospect of legitimate agitation or labor organizing activity. and i mean that literally, in the same way that hr as a modern corporate function was developed in direct response to union agitation, dei programs and consultancies have sprung up as a corporate reaction to intersectionality becoming a threatening force in labor politics. this is really good posting

i just cant believe theres no narrative explanations to these problems. housing? individual problem, get your money up. deaths of despair? no real acknowledgement of it and absolutely no fixes. social media pushed on kids? its bad if china does it. child labor? carcinogens in food? nothing i guess it's just a result of the state getting carved up and all responsibilities being placed on the individual. nobody talks about it except for people on a dead forum

Xaris posted:there used to be inane notions of "supply = demand" and "if i raise prices but my competitor doesn't, consumers will buy competitor's products instead". it has been shown that neither of these are true and things are far more monopolistic. turns out if you raise cheerios prices and your competitor raises grapenut prices too, consumers still keep buying from you, and shareprices keep going up up up up perma bull forever
