no, we didn’t, we made a bunch of small programs
no, we didn’t, we made a bunch of small programs
usually this means you made a booboo, try catching these exceptions if it’s a possibility.
because the value of money isn’t tied to the amount in existence, never has, even the rare metal backed gang is just extrapolating the value axiom by one
the “printing of money” has fuck all to do with inflation, and mainly comes from pop-economics that is stuck somewhere around mercantilism.
Corporation simply realized that they are playing the prisoner’s dilemma with prices, and are now going for the “optimal solution”
it’s only really a cartel if they get together and make these plans, in reality none of these landlords are stupid, they will just adjust their demands to the upper region of what people feel acceptable, this slowly moves the “acceptability window” up, all without anyone needing to conspire with anyone else
nothing happens overnight, and even if everyone switched the smaller company does not have the capital to realize such a jump in demand, nor would it have the capital to protect its self from hostile market strategies the larger company can and generally will entail.
now please do try and vote with your wallet if 90+% of everything is owned and sold by some small group of companies
SSE is larger than just trickle down, and ironically not every school of economics accepts the supply/demand model, and some who do, also criticize it as being dysfunctional
supply and demand is econ 101, and in econ 102 you learn that econ 101 is about as predictive as Nostradamus

and pointing out that supply side economics in practice has just lead to an oligopoly increased cost of living, an increasing wealth gap, and a new class of super rich that make the fucking Rockefeller look poor. And the theoretical side is literally fairy tale beliefs that make revolutionary communists seem grounded with reality
most people with serious economic issues work minimum
like you don’t have some uncle that goes on about how Biden stole the election, or how taxation is theft
you think this is new or unique to Europe? downside of Eurocentric history education i guess.
Unions did shit when the corporations and government could literally shoot them, stop being a larper and get to work
partly because the German Aldi union forces them to abide by minimum standards around the world
fuck civility politics, if some “temporarily embarrassed millionaire” is calling for more bullshit, call them out on it.
no one remembers the “nice guys” in politics because they never accomplished anything.
eat in an economic context, and if shit gets bad enough, a literal one as well
dude, there is no evidence for supply side economics to have ever worked, the price has nothing to do with supply and demand
the myth of supply based economics, and other fairytales.
Realistically there is no reason for produce or rent to be increasing in price, there is not any actual reason for the hikes in COL other than “record profits”
the “vote with your wallet” stuff is bullshit, and it always was. there are very real limitations on what some small company can do in a near monopoly, that’s why we had antitrust in the first place.
dude, the Smithsonian has an article about how Benjamin Franklin invented the public library, I kid you not
