Americans are 'doom spending' — here's why that's a problem

Jump

  • It compounds their profits as they make more from the deposit than you! That’s what he really means.

    • Amazon exec says it’s time for workers to ‘disagree and commit’ to office return — “I don’t have data to back it up, but I know it’s better.”

    Jump

  • “I reject your reality and substitute my own!”

    • It's all downhill from here

  • We’ll save money on out-of-control healthcare costs if the elderly just died instead of lingered. A tree needs to have the dead or dying branches pruned or they’ll endanger the trunk. The elderly are willing to sacrifice themselves for the economy; that’s what the Lt. Governor of Texas said during COVID.

    Not supporting this perspective, but I’ve heard social darwinists say “the weak should fear the strong” and other horrid shit unironically.

    • Jimmy Carter, currently in hospice, plans to attend late wife Rosalynn Carter's memorial

  • It just becomes a motorcycle…didn’t you see The Dark Knight?

    • Six teenagers in court over beheading of French teacher

  • If you play by felony murder rules, they’re just as guilty since they participated in the planning and actively participated (by waiting for / stalking the victim and pointing him out to their co-conspirator).

    In some places if you help plan and participate in a crime that results in a death you’re equally culpable of the murder - even if you weren’t in the same room as the killing. Escape car drivers frequently get death row for a murder that happened in the course of the crime.

    • A Spanish agency became so sick of models and influencers that they created their own with AI — and she’s raking in up to $11,000 a month

    Jump

  • Based on the information the ad services know about individual viewers, they could customize the ads using invented models that perfectly match the viewers’ ethnicity/demographics.

    IMO hyper-individualized ads that are personalized would increase diversity. It’d also be a new frontier in advertising manipulation.

    • Have 4K TV show torrents entirely disappeared from public trackers?

    Jump

  • That movie really holds up well, and I heard those rips are glorious

    • Trump Plots to Pull Out of NATO -- If He Doesn't Get His Way

    Jump

  • You’re absolutely right.

    Can’t be Sanders: the centrist and corporate Democrats won’t allow that. Plus, he’s a party outsider. As the dems just showed with Laphonza Butler’s appointment, being tight with the party machine matters more than any other qualification. Even living in the state you’re supposed to represent.

    Can’t be Warren: the GOP has a hate machine on standby for “Pocahontas” if she were to ever be in the national spotlight again. Plus, corporate Democrats won’t allow her due to her work creating the CFPB. She interferes with too much profit.

  • Played college ball ya know!

    • Joly accuses India of acting 'contrary to international law' as Canada pulls 41 diplomats amid immunity concerns

  • I’m sure we can find some other group to do the needful.

    • Prosecutors appealing length of prison sentences for Proud Boys leaders convicted of Jan. 6 plot

    Jump

  • COLD.

    DEAD.

    HANDS.

    Does not say anything about “unless I’ll go to prison” - just that they’d die for their guns. I believe people when they tell me what they’re about.

    • 'Top secret' Hamas documents show that terrorists intentionally targeted elementary schools and a youth center

  • There really is no true Scotsman…

    • New California law aims to force people with mental illness or addiction to get help

  • You don’t have to look far to find the videos.

    They’re on X and TikTok even.

    • Meta Quest 3 demand allegedly 5 million units below expected level

    Jump

  • Probably the >$1K US per GPU pricing - can’t move headsets if nobody can afford a capable enough GPU.

    • Political forces begin to move on new California Sen. Butler as she mulls a run

    Jump

  • It’s just so fucking hypocritical and denigrating that one of two Sentators for California isn’t even from the state. She’s from Maryland and knows Maryland issues - she can’t represent the issues of the state of California. She has no legislative or elected office experience whatsoever.

    Hell, Newsom as much came out and said she was appointed just because she’s so close to the Democratic Party machine.

    Last election, Dr. Oz was a “carpetbagger” and evil for living in NJ and running in PA - it was a core piece of the Fetterman campaign. It resonated with voters - Fetterman won.

    So, Republicans do it = bad, Democrats do it = so progressive, don’t question it.

    I haven’t read one thing yet that shows she’s at all familiar with California or the issues facing the state. Just how progressive and LGBTQ and Black she is.

    • San Francisco says tiny sleeping 'pods,' which cost $700 a month and became a big hit with tech workers, are not up to code

  • In San Francisco/Bay Area that doesn’t even cover a parking space per month.

    In the US, the average home price sold was $495k. Where can you find a $100k house that doesn’t need a tear down or complete renovation?

    • More than one-third of millennials believe they won’t get a dime of Social Security when they retire, so they’re taking matters into their own hands

  • We just had the hottest month in recorded global history, record low Antarctic sea ice (heading into southern hemisphere summer), and drought + heatwaves in the Amazon that are causing mass rivier dieoffs and forest loss.

    Plus, Amazon deforestation is decreasing in Brazil but increasing in all neighbors - forest area is still decreasing fast.

    Let me know if you actually want citations, these are all recent and commonly discussed.

  • Enough that the largest economic bloc in the world is able to support their neighbor and ally without depending on a single country on a different continent.
