Say I buy a product for 4$ and the next day due to deflation I can only sell it for 3$, why would I then go and try to trade said product?
That $3 is worth as much as that $4 was now because deflation made the value of the dollar go up. So the only change is that "number go up" didn't happen on a purely psychological level. If your trade provides value then you can trade for more value.
Technology is inherently deflationary in that superior versions come out for the same or even less money all the time yet people still regularly buy TVs, phones, laptops, etc.
Not all experts are equal. Climate science is a hard science with decades of data and evidence backing it up. Economics is a soft science with policy recommendations based on politics, running a feedback loop where the rich boost policies that benefit themselves.
Again? Yawn. Congress needs to stop pretending they're useful by creating problems and then half-assedly "solving" them. If politicians did their jobs properly, we wouldn't need to spend so much time into learning about the jobs they're supposed to be doing.
This ghoul was propped up in 2020 with the full force of the party and then won thanks to covid, but he thinks he's some hero. Democrats lost in 2024 in large part thanks to him. Fuck you biden, you racist, genocidal, and power-hungry piece of shit.
Biden wasn't restraining israel at all and Harris kept talking about how she'd be a continuation of Biden. Now you're bringing in a bunch of other issues that aren't what these voters are focused on. Turns out you have to appeal to voters to get their votes.
The choices were genocide or genocide. Apparently some privileged people here haven't noticed that the genocide has already been getting worse and worse for over a year now.
People like you seem to think protesting against genocide is a bigger problem than sending billions in support of genocide. I can't tell if it's a matter of diehard party support above all else or simple delusion.
I don't know about time limits, but social media does get censored on a per-country basis depending on the government of each country. Also, each person has their own tailored content based on the algorithm that it might as well be considered a different version.
We could just as easily mandate restrictions on data or require timers for children on social media instead of doing a full ban. Note that the US was fine with keeping tiktok if they sold to an American company. Something tells me the brain rot would not be lessened and no special timer would be implemented by the new ownership if it were to have gone through.

Didn't facebook fake numbers before for video views which caused e.g. collegehumor to fold because they thought they could rely on facebook for views?
