Yep, when stocks start going south, the first thing to do is lower wages/fire people and the second is heighten prices.
People shouldn’t be under the idea that problems in wall street mean the rich are becoming poor. It means the rich will be less rich and the poor will lose their jobs and suffer higher prices. The GFC was proof that wall street fucks up and the rest of the population finds out.
Near my university there was an underground bakery open from 18:30 to 6:30, and whenever you were drunk or high coming out of some university party or just a night of drinking with your friends you’d end up going there and it was amazing. At a reasonable cost, some high sugar and fat pastries, or just a warm croissant, served by an immigrant man in his 50s who would call everyone nephew. All this through a tiny barred window below the earth. A wonderful thing.

He says this and people believe it, so they’re powering through the bad times awaiting the better times. In a way he’s in his honeymoon period, and some people like him better because he’s actually following through his policies instead of being all talk.
Evangelion was written by an insane religious fanatic searching pointlessly for a divine reason for choosing to exist. You don’t have to watch it, I release you.
The state shouldn’t be in the business of killing people.
It was just a joke, I was hoping someone else would be able to turn it into something with meaning.
My favorite sin is Lust. My favorite virtue is Chastity.
The flu is also going strong, but people aren’t saying it still feels like 1918. I don’t know the definition of COVID-19 becoming endemic but it certainly feels like it has become that.
And any reference I hear to it is no more common or strange than a reference to the flu or some other common illness.
The whole “more cows and computerized milking raised prices of milk” reeks of anti-industrial Luddite garbage.
