Has there been a discussion here about meat supplies? My husband was telling me there are shortages (we aren't stateside) so I asked multiple American friends and they confirmed there was limited or even no availability, but acted like it was no Biggie.

Is it? (A Biggie)

nah not a biggie just a bunch of wage slave peons dying in the meat plants, but those are opening right back up more bodies in the grinder we gucci baby

this type of post is a normal post to make. everybody has had one.
however, thems whos freshly gotten screwed are gonna vent.

I finally got laid off this week from my computer toucher job. I knew it was coming, and honestly was shocked it didn't come sooner, but it still sucks. Especially since my entire industry (events) is dead for the foreseeable future and my experience as what's basically an experienced machine operator is barely transferable.

Guess it's time to learn a new way to sell my labour! yaaaaaaaay :buddy:

If my LinkedIn feed is any indicator (lol) white collar computer toucher jobs are starting to get let go

can confirm, furloughed but realistically my industry (events) is dead anyways so I'm kinda surprised we lasted this long

what horrible industry should I next hop into and spend a decade building experience in before it gets destroyed by, say, this time climate change

I think it's rather plain to see that we've been following the path of Japan since it's stagnation in the late 80s. Heavy central bank intervention, stagnant zombie companies, low growth, declining real wages.

On the consumer side, nothing out of SV is really life altering, aside from amazon streamlining the online ordering paradigm, which is huge, no doubt

I'd say you can argue social media has been pretty life altering for the average person and how they interact with the world. Sure it was born in the 00s, but it only got its tendrils into all of society by the 2010s.

trump, squinting at a printout of the fox news chart showing s&p increases after high profile murders by police, steeples his fingers and furrows his brow. he is clearly deep in thought, gazing next at the television showing his beautiful market going down due to the terrible antifa. snatching his phone, he smashes on the twitter icon and grabs his reading glasses.

What's crazy is that Powell is the most straightforward fed chair since Volcker. I don't want to say he's honest because money men are liars by their very nature. But he talks about risks and is clear about the feds goals.

Alan Greenspan is the worst American of all time. Just pure psychotic evil

People blame lots of things on Reagan. But Greenspan took the tax and regulatory handouts to corporations and investment banker and supercharged them. He institutionalized financial inequality and deliberately made the Fed both *extremely* powerful and exclusively beholden to the investor class. Volker made the Fed have more influence over monetary conditions, but his intention was more or less to serve the American publics interest. The doctom bubble, the housing collapse and now whatever the gently caress is going on now is a direct consequence of what Greenspan started.

Today's financial systems would look different if Greenspan didn't exist. gently caress him and gently caress his Ayn Rand diseased penis

fair, but on the other hand:
