No

spoilerProbably yes but I'm going to hide it here.

Edit clarification: I deeply question if my masculine projections matches my own internal identity.

The official whitehouse briefing said that he 'underscored' that a ceasefire would improve things and urged them to negotiate, and it wasn't conditional. I can't wait for someone to tell me to vote for biden because he called for a ceasefire.

The next auction round starts in 5 minutes as you franticly hit 'accept' for the dynamically priced minimum bid. You forgo the premium sauce package just incase the bidding gets competitive. Up next is the Big Mac, lot of 1, and you're hungry. You don't have time to do the next 15 minute auction round, you're got to get back to the job. You take note of the shill bidder on company payroll in the corner but there's a big group today since it's the lunch rush so it'll probably be competitive. You hope he doesn't notice that you've put on makeup to cover up your gaunt look. Today you're eating. You even tried to throw off your coworkers by telling them you were going somewhere else but you still notice a few people there. Bidding starts at $25.54, about an hours wage. You grasp your phone tightly as your tap your finger to increase your bid. It climbs to $55.44 as some people walk out of the restaurant looking dejected. $65.95. You know you won't eat dinner, this small luxury is enough to satisfy you. You're top bidder, only a few seconds remain. You look up to see the shill bidder snarl at you as he stares directly into your eyes and taps once on his phone. He knows he can push you. Your heart sinks as you see the price, $135 even. You frown as you place your final bid. 'Congratulations' appears on your phone.

If I borrow $1,000,000 at 0% interest at 3% inflation and put it in an inflation-proof investment (like housing), in 30 years it would be worth $2.5 mil. The 'real' interest rate is negative, it's free money.

Interest rates remain high so the squeeze is still happening.

It's a confidence scam. Make Biden appear as a trusted figure. Present a false dichotomy by presenting the election as a critical choice between stability and chaos. Then create a sense of urgency then lean into the bandwagon effect to finish it off.

When manufacturing comes back to the US is likely a leading indicator.

Can we somehow change the title to something less traumatic to read? I would appreciate it, I didn't enjoy having read that.

Behavioral economics posing as labor economics. Behavioral economics is completely fake and has no value. It's effectively social psychology for libertarians.

The past few decades have seen the largest corporate consolidation in almost every industry.

These are all franchisees. These people have no real power other than controlling labor costs.

 

It runs in the terminal.
