Good because Maker's Mark is pretty terrible whiskey lol, if he wanted to be fancy he could at least develop some taste.

We're very far away from that, most tech giants had enough liquidity saved up to fund their AI nonsense without additional investment. They have a few years to burn through cash before investors will have a reason to start worrying.

It's crazy how much his actions have benefited our enemies every step of the way.

It's more about investment, if it gets a better return to hold onto cash over investing in business then the economy slowly grinds to a halt. Adjusting prices due to over supply doesn't cause deflation, at most it would cool off investment in that sector but could potentially do the opposite.

My big problem with worker coops is that they don't share capital. Even if their profit share is fair, which it really usually isn't, they're still hoarding the capital generated by the labor of workers. That's what I mean by worker owned, workers should decide how a company's capital is used.

Getting ahead of it isn't a bad idea, I had a feeling intentionally triggering a famine was part of their plans and it's looking more and more intentional every week. When people start going hungry having his name associated with it will help focus their anger in the right direction.

I didn't follow the dev blog or anything but it came out very rushed and unfinished, even with a year or more of crunch. It was a very long development period.

I'm not against unions in any way but I think their time has passed, oligarchs had an opportunity to cooperate now I think we're better off moving to a direct worker ownership model, where workers receive dividends and capital gains from the labor they contribute to building their companies.

I thought so too, but even if it's the
case it's going to take a while. Most of the companies leveraging hard on AI had a shitload of cash on hand from not reinvesting over the past decade, so it's not all investor speculation, and they have enough revenue to sustain it for a long time.

They did this same shit with demand-pull inflation too, just outright lied to the public about what it is and how I happens. You can't get demand pull inflation if NOBODY CAN AFFORD ANYTHING IN THE FIRST PLACE! Media acting like we never had middle class now, lying bastards

Deflation is really only a problem caused by government policy. I'm not aware of any market forces that could cause sustained deflation, even a massive glut of supply would just cool off production not continually decrease prices

The reason deflation is bad,and sorry if I'm mansplaining, is because it discourages spending *if it's sustained*. A one time price drop isn't deflation, it's not going to be a trend either where everyone keeps going lower lol which sounds like what they're saying

I think that happened to Cyberpunk and yeah it delayed their release another year or so, but they knew long before they had a release date so if that happened with GTA 6 then it's likely already been fixed

That's not what deflation is but enough people are confused about inflation thTnat they get away with that lying bullshit ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿป

I think it just comes down to eating habits. I stick to golf balls because they're easier on the other end.

The entire Democratic establishment was also against him, just not as openly or aggressively. Actually I'll make it simpler, AIPAC doesn't like him and their paid stooges in government said as much as they could get away with.

What they proved is that democracy is more important than how you structure your economic system. The one begets the latter, you see.

Authoritarianism bad, m'kay

If the courts run out of money I'd be willing to bet we see the government open real fucking quick lol, pissing off people with power over you is not a good idea as a lawmaker, especially when you're already aiding a criminal

Are the doomers fucking off yet? Authoritarianism is already here my ass, they don't win until they successfully cancel an election and I won't give it to them a second sooner.

"I built this business all by myself, nobody helped me" says the business owner who hasn't run his own store in ten years and collects a whole lot of revenue from SNAP

They just retitled the files the Biden administration put out so they could claim credit, not a single one of those people looked beyond the cover
