Yeah of course industries will collapse. 100 car factories will close, 5 superyacht factories will open, tying up the same amount of productivity. Owned by the same guy.

There will be tons of spacecraft launchpads, private jet hangars, etc.

And wars of course.

The rich will keep trading with each other. Look at housing for an example.

The rich. Companies will stop targeting products to wider and wider swathes of people, just like nobody caters to the homeless now.

Trump got shot at a rally, very minor injuries, would be assassin dead

Mostly a shrug. Live and let live.

Other billionaires making money might have started to be afraid to do so.

But that someone will have their own priorities that will most likely not always coindice with yours.

Dutch has aub meaning alstublieft meaning please, and they use it in all kinds of official places.

Only if you were involved in the kidnapping, like paying them to do it.

Reading this I’m not sure I’d fault him even if that were the case.

I browse Reddit only for one sub, a country-specific one that is reasonably niche. Right when the API migration happened, there seemed to be a very visible migration of Facebook/Instagram people migrating over to Reddit. Posts asking where to find Instagram/Facebook functionality came in daily, and the overall quality of both comments and posts degraded a lot, suddenly posts had a ton of comments with one word and a ton of emojis.

So if I understand correctly, the reason it’s outdated is not because we don’t need those pesky banking regulations any more, but that it has been found that banks will just take out their own loans to cover the reserves they need from the central bank, so they can just lend as much as they want, no seatbelts. And the central bank will never run out of loans to give, since they have insane reserves, in their own currency it is technically unlimited.

So money is not really the thing we think it is. If banks overextend themselves and fuck up, the only thing we’ll see instead of failing banks is runaway inflation in the consumer and asset (housing) markets. Wonder where I’ve seen that.

Everyone’s got to settle down sometime

Bank spokesman says they are itching to be the sector to fire the most workers, poised to make the economy so much better.

It’s kinda fucked up that each major political camp denies some genocide. Like we could replace who you vote for with which genocide was a shamocide?

Almost as if homosexual people were just people.

Lol, I grew up on a Russian colony. Was not fun.

That said, my thing with “Global South” is that it pretends the country with the highest GDP in the world is an “underdog”, and it tries to sell that through its supposed tight alliance with its less fortunate members. By what measure is China or Russia “the South”? Maybe it’s just them trying to sell that they are so oppressed.

And their alliance is so tight that Putin wasn’t allowed on the latest BRICS summit because ZA thought their ties with the ICC are more important than Putin.

It’s just an “actually, we are the victims” circlejerk, based on some fragile semi-alliances and pretending that China is not absolutely dominating the whole thing.

I am really tired to hear “Global South” over and over again.

Just like they did for “sinophobia” when I expressed misgivings about Chinese and Hungarian cops joining forces 🤦

Just love the thing where they twist any criticism of the Chinese state into perceived hate for Chinese people, but are so apprehensive when Israel tries to do the same. It’s reprehensible.

Controlled and cost effective way. Fusion bombs have been a thing for half a century.

Yeah, and they kill them and also some others, and some guy’s wife. The guy takes up arms in revenge and the cycle continues.

It’s not an open armed rebellion, it’s constant terror attacks. How do you send in the military to quell a car bombing or an assassination?
