A) Fuck Amazon B) Fuck the US C) The deals are absolutely terrible, why the fuck would it encourage me to buy anything?

“more leisure time”

That’s not the only metric you should be looking at. In fact it’s a pretty terrible metric.

The same things were/are said about the internet itself, and here you are typing into a webpage.

You aren’t just fearmongering, but you are fearmongering.

When hating becomes a team sport, it’s a serious problem. There are benefits and negatives to this technology, like with most things, and anyone who can’t recognize that is a complete moron.

The industrial revolution only led to a Tenuous benefit… lol.

You are glossing over the fact that “who’s hurt by it” ignores the future potential benefits.

Not having an industrial revolution would have hurt a lot of people too, condemning millions or billions to the limited quality of life that existed before it. No modern medicine, no modern amenities, just 90% of the population subsistence farming.

That picture (and your words) imply that poor working and living conditions didn’t exist before the industrial revolution.

There’s an entire period of around a thousand years nicknamed the “The Dark Ages” for a reason. It wasn’t all bad, but it sucked for a very large number of European people, many who lived in absolute squalor and servitude.

You say “horrors” like the industrial revolution didn’t improve quality of life for almost every human on the planet.

I really hate this headline.

They aren’t wrong 70% of the time.

The study found that they only successfully complete multi-step business tasks 30% of the time. Those tasks were made up by the researchers to simulate an office environment.

This percentage spread for different models is also absolutely massive too, with some coming in at 1% completion and others coming in over 30%.

It’s the lone star state…

Outta 5 possible

Too simplistic to be cynical, just naive.

Pretty naive take on how governments work.

While on one hand I hope that people realize this is literally their government being purchased by a single rich guy and push back… I know they’re far too stupid for that.

Parents tend to be impacted when their children die. Dying themselves is often preferable.

He was obviously referring to the adults in the state, not the children.

There may be individual products that have gone down in price like for example eggs may have returned to more normal pricing from their highs, but that index tracks a standardized set of fairly normal products that people buy regularly and on average the whole shopping bill has gone up every single month.

So yes, they are delulu.

Even the US government is saying consumer prices aren’t going down.

The percentage they’re going up each month has gone down from the inflation bubble we had just recently, but they have still gone up in price every single month for the last 7 years or so.

Unless you’re really old, I wouldn’t bet too hard on that. Things tend to happen quickly once they reach a tipping point.

The Arab spring revolutions were not even two years long and a dozen countries countries with 4 rulers being deposed.

I would absolutely bet money that before I die in 30-40 years the US will have fewer states than it currently does.

Silver lining?

You’re more likely to reach the revolution part of the history cycle faster, and reset the wheel for future generations to also fuck up.

It’s funny that you think America isn’t pulling the strings from the start.
