Joke’s on them, now I’m incapable of shedding tears, or even feeling anything really
That Pink Floyd song should have been titled “UNcomfortably numb”. Ironically the lyrics only need to add the “UN”
“When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye I turned to look, but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown, the dream is gone
I have become UNcomfortably numb”
It’s more comfortable for others.
We thought they we’re going to hit us and they did hit us and then they did all the other shit. Lucky if you didn’t get hit.
Some hit us too
Against the people asked for this. They asked for lower interest rates. This killed the housing market. They asked for student loans. This killed the price of college. People wanted cheap products from China, this killed the ice caps.
The first two are debt related, and the third is off shoring
People didn’t ask for any of that… It was sold to them for profit
They did ask for it. They wanted cheap Chinese stuff. Even now people are made at Trump for the tariffs saying the Chinese products will become unaffordable. Asking for that is telling companies to send jobs overseas. They are the same thing
People want cheap products in a general sense, they don’t like off shoring, it was hugely disruptive to jobs and the quality nose dives (at least for a time, sometimes permanently). They didn’t ask for or choose it, they’re the low information side of the system
Of course they’re upset at things being tariffed, they don’t want prices going up. They likely have some preference to buy things made locally, or by a country with a reputation
None of this is a choice made by consumers, it’s a generalized set of incentives and pressures created by the market
It’s like planned obsolescence… People hate it, it’s being sold to them
is there anything to suggest millennials and gen z as they enter the work force are also not melting the icecaps?
I was going to say, if they didn’t do it we would have. I doubt most people did stuff intentionally, they just lived their life
Why are there scratches in this image?..
It had chicken pox?
I think it’s a hardware issue with my phone… I’m not seeing the “scratches” anymore. I noticed a while ago that images of high frequency digital noise cause flickering lines on my phone. Like this one: https://onlinepngtools.com/images/examples-onlinepngtools/multicolor-white-noise.png
I don’t see anything what’s the model of the phone?
It’s a Motorola Edge 40. It’s an unusual bug, but harmless so far.
