Or forgotten generation.

But also, yea let’s not forget it really came down to who voted for Reagan. I’m a little tired of the boomer hate because it overlooks some of the okay boomers, and yes, equates “old” with “selfish asshole”.

Yeah, like their previous generation didn’t do anything… Remember the nazis? Remember Stalin? Remember the empire of the rising sun? I mean, boomers fucked up the environment and economy for our generation. The generation before them killed literally millions in death camps all around the world, during 2 world wars with the most horrible war crimes and with 2 nukes. It’s a matter of perspective.

Gonna have to say, had me in the first half there.

Damn i wish i was witty enough to remember belter dialect. I can read it just fine but using it is beyond me.

American fascists have been used as tools by the rich to undo the gains of the new deal, and ultimately the gains of the Enlightenment to bring us back into some type of feudalism where owing money leads to Virtual slavery. And the entire system is fixed so you cannot avoid owing money to somebody.

I actually support government/public shareholding. It’s a natural path to UBI that maps effective taxation directly to shareholder value (prohibiting tax loopholes) and reflects public backing of commercial entities proportionately with public stake.

Honestly it’s absurd that major stimulus initiatives proceed without requiring public equity in return for the funds. And that’s doubly true for corporations that would crater otherwise, since such a bailout would then result in a controlling stake. Public centralization via such an acquisition would be logical for any entity that’s “too big to fail.”

I’m sure this administration’s motivations are corrupt and we should be wary, but the precedent itself is progressive IMHO.

That’s facism

I’m not saying we measure inflation incorrectly, I’m saying I’m annoyed when people act like greed isn’t a part of it. And yes, by greed I mean “anti competitive practices”.

I’m saying it’s annoying when economists and government officials act like greed can’t play a part in inflation when shit that should be illegal (like price colluding) happens that is purely an effect of greed.

Comparatively your sugar prices are nuts to me as an aussie, i get it for like a buck a kilo.

My price is for like 12 grain type of bread, not the Wonder Bread which is a little cheaper, the bottom shelf bread might be $250 to $3 at a big box store if not on sale, the better factory stuff is like four or five.

I was baking bread for a couple of years not even because of price specifically but because this factory bread is kind of garbage.

I hardly eat bread anymore or I still would. I cut out all added sugar as well. Almost any kind of processed food. Now if I eat something like factory bread it is a shock to my taste buds tasting all of the sugar and salt they load it up with.

I am talking about the mid grade bread like 12 grain that I buy. The lower shelf is like Wonder Bread that is worthless where you could squeeze the entire loaf down to an inch. As to the mid-grade bread like the 12 grain or the whole wheat or other variants there is some nutritional value but it is also chock full of sugar and salt to disguise substandard ingredients and just to indulge our corrupted palettes.

Perversely most of the top shelf bread that is usually made by local bakeries is almost all white bread from refined grains. Although it may be the case that how the grain is grown leads to higher amounts of pesticides and toxic chemicals not removing the outer part of the grain but I don’t know on that specifically.
