Easy solution, replace the help desk with LLMs too and make it impossible to reach a human.

I would count on them being hypocritical. The rich will just use Starlink.

It’ll get really interesting when the data gets breached and stealth wealth people have to start hiring private security.

I just give them a thumbs up.

Stupid question: if you think it’s a good idea but don’t know when the price will go up, you just buy stock and wait. But if you think it’s a bad idea and don’t know when the price will go down, is there any long-term alternative to shorting that doesn’t require betting on the date?

After dismissing email chains and getting them all on Facebook, I’m never going to dismiss their ways again.

Context: that’s an “anarchy” server where modifying the client is explicitly allowed.

I wouldn’t count that as cheating.

forever inflation

The problem isn’t some inflation or deflation. It’s having constantly positive inflation, the levers for which are pulled by insiders. At best they’re trying to prevent all forest fires, and the dry brush keeps accumulating until we get a fire too big to put out. At worst they’re just picking whichever interest rates they’ve been bribed to pick.

Corporate profits keep going up, CEO pay keeps going up, inequality keeps going up, but real income has not kept up at all. We aren’t the beneficiaries of inflationary monetary policy. It’s functional wealth extraction, not incompetent management.

This isn’t what Keynes wanted at all. He expected the inflation money would go towards public works and we’d have a 15-hour work week, not funding bond holders and a gradually increasing work week. We adopted half of his rationale as a post hoc rationalization for the Nixon Shock.

What we’ve got now is even more broken! Forever inflation is not a good idea.

What’s the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire?

Billionaires were literally created by inflation. It’s why you invest with them.

How about we temporarily help you until you stop complaining, and then repeal it later?

Their economic reasons are superstitious nonsense. It’s always been about siphoning wealth from the working class. The purpose of a system is what it does.

If they’re billing in Monero, then I have to wonder if this machine does funner things than just cleaning you.

What’s the best mobile client for Piefed?

Direct action my friend. Unionize, participate in mutual aid, opt out of their economy as best as you can. Wars are won by supply chains, not by dead idealists.

I’ll give it more time then. I spent years on Reddit and intend to spend years here.

Honestly yes, I have not had much problems with mods (and admins!) deleting the words I’ve taken time out of my day to write.
