    Every tribe has the exact same body type, the Oseram are all fat from drinking all the time, the Utaru are all skinny because their plants are dying, etc.

    You only tax profits, which is revenue minus costs. So if costs were really going up and outpacing revenue growth, you'd see tax collection going down, not up. Clearly, the opposite is happening, and profits are outpacing costs. Also, clawing money back out of the economy through taxes is...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    Yes, too many gay elves in video games caused the fed to keep interest rates too low for too long and print a bunch of extra money on top of it. That makes tons of fucking sense.

    The dollar isn't going to cease to exist, because every other country is in even shittier shape than we are. America, despite 20+ years of shitty leadership, fruitless wars, and incredibly poor financial habits, is still #1. But they're going to fuck the middle class as hard as they possibly...

    I used to post about this a lot. Half a rich person's wealth and they're still rich, usually, especially if all the other people they're competing with are in a similar situation. Half a poor person's wealth and they're still poor and dependent on government. But half a middle class person's...

    Last I knew CEOs don't actually pump oil. Workers do. The industry is also facing a worker shortage like everyone else, but actually worse. During the last boom they were paying people fuck-you money, at least by working class non-college standards, and then production got shut down suddenly...

    The positive is that the market is likely overreacting to shit everyone already knew. It's not like these numbers come out of nowhere.

    They've had those permits from before Biden was even in office. There's no incentive to drill new wells if you expect demand to collapse soon.

    You realize there's literally over 9000 unused drilling permits and massive excess pipeline capacity, right? Because then everyone else starts pumping and the price craters again as soon as there's a demand shock, and since we're likely headed into a global recession due to all the financial...

    First mover problem. Everyone was producing a lot, OPEC, the US, other oil producing nations. The first entity to cut production would have just lost a ton of money while not being able to raise the price they're getting. When oil went negative in 2020 due to lockdowns, it reset everything...

    Shooting a few oil executives for sitting on permits and other fuckery so they can price gouge would work equally well. The banking crisis tells us that if you don't shoot a few people to make an example, that same shit'll just happen all over again.

    If people stop buying shit, prices will come down. Prices are whatever the market will bear and unfortunately due to years of handouts, gross overspending, loose policy, and quite a few legitimate boom years, the market will bear an awful lot.

    FIOS is 80 dollars a month, no taxes or fees, for 1gig up and down, more or less symmetrical. I have never had to reboot the equipment and have had 0 outages in 3 years. COX modem had to be rebooted a couple times a week, barely got 300down, barely got 25 up, and was like 120 dollars.
