Do you think haurispex had anywhere near as much freedom to make up whatever answer the elites wanted as economists do?

triple sulk posted:director is level 66 or 67 so his base salary is probably about 350-450k plus another 50-60k a year in stocks and a 40-60k cash bonus for hitting performance targets along with stock refreshers. dude probably has a house and a few milly laying around if he wasnt a complete moron, sure.

Frustrated by higher prices, many Pennsylvanians with fresh pay raises and solid finances report a sense of insecurity lingering from the pandemic. I know at least one person who'll want to skim this, but anyway I'll just quote a bit from the middle: quote:Vocal frustration with more expensive gas and food, rent-raising landlords and premium-raising insurance companies still animates small talk among friends. Home prices have soared, a blessing for homeowners but a curse for those seeking to join their ranks. Child care and elder care costs, rising before the pandemic, are still ascending. (And beyond needs like auto insurance, there is annoyance with the $4 bag of chips in the checkout aisle, or a $10 pint of beer that used to be $7.) Interesting that someone would quit a $70k/year "manager" role for a $3/hr + tips service job; that hotel manager job must have been terribad or something else is going on. Anyway, there are some more interviews with variously interesting people that mostly just reinforces the notion that orthodox economists will never understand the difference between consumer sentiment and their favourite all-good-now economic measures. Hat tip to 67 year-old Philly BBQ guy who's set for life, quit running his popular food truck a couple of years ago but still drives a bus 4 days a week because he's bored by not working. Anyway, the other thing is that point about how many Americans have low fixed mortgage rates, and there's another article about the very obvious point that home sales are down because even owners who want to move can't afford to (refinance) since interest rates and prices have gone up: There's an eyebrow-raising quote after the bit discussing why reduced housing mobility might be bad for number: quote:Some of these effects may sound similar to the years after the 2008 housing crash, when a different problem — underwater mortgages — trapped many people in homes they wanted to leave. But today’s challenge may be more lasting. That’s because 30-year mortgage rates get locked in for, well, 30 years, and because rates below 3 percent are unlikely to be seen again anytime soon. whoops. The article doesn't seem to mention that some mortgages in the US actually can be transferred under certain circumstances, something I only learned recently, but I was far too bored by the details to understand how many practically can be. The other thing is this is all baffling to Australians and Canadians who can't get fixed-rate mortgages longer than 10 years and usually have to stick to 5 for reasons I don't fully understand (I gather the UK is similar but it's not impossible to get 15+year fixed rates). Then again, Sweden apparently has a typical mortgage length of 50 years, and recently/controversially cut the maximum to 105 years, and some third of Swedes have loans where they're not paying off the principal at all.

PoundSand posted:The best part is poo poo is p much just as expensive as the good stuff was before. Had a bonding moment with my mom the other day where I was looking for a simple kitchen gadget, a can opener, and it's like there's no amount of money I can offer to get a good one. There's branding that moves the pricepoint up and down but there's not a single one you can find online that doesn't have a bajillion 1 star reviews for a lemon falling apart after two uses. Clothing feels largely the same, like you can spend more money for a "better" brand but it's all made in the same place with the same methods and materials. i went loving nuts when the $15 can opener from target broke in my hands so I went and bought the classic can opener for $3 from a restaurant supply store and now every time I open the drawer I look like some freak anime character reaching in with a grin from ear to ear because I know it’s going to open my can

Precambrian Video Games posted:Interesting that someone would quit a $70k/year "manager" role for a $3/hr + tips service job; that hotel manager job must have been terribad or something else is going on. It was probably just par for the course for store-level management in retail/hospitality. Lots of those jobs are real loving bad and not really worth the paltry pay, which is why the people who stick around are usually the petty tyrants who are cool with 80 hour weeks as long as they get to be the boss. There was a story 15-20ish years ago about some Radioshack manager that killed himself after a few months of insane work weeks and all I remember is a ton of responses along the lines of "that's nothing, I've been doing that for years."
