I really hate the framing of this. The problem is capitalism, not "affordability." The stock market isn't reflective of the real economy. It's a graph of rich people's feelings. The majority of us can barely "afford" food and rent. 10% of the population accounts for nearly half of all spending.
How affordability led to a chasm between stock prices, consumer optimism
The stock market has rallied ever higher in recent years while consumer optimism has plummeted. Economists cite affordability as a key reason.

No surprise that the Trump administration is currently using Mike Tyson, who was not only convicted of rape but also defended by Epstein’s lawyer, as a symbol of health and masculinity. It’s the rape administration.

Playing Fallout 76 this morning and a mole rat killed me with a single hit. Then another and another.
I somehow took off all my armor…. SMH. I was thinking my build was messed up and it was basic game mechanics.

So tired of the election discourse “two choices. take it or leave it and if you don’t want either we blame you for the outcome (if we don’t like it).” You are telling me we can’t have more choice in elections but I can eat a different flavor of potato chip for a year? Freedom of choice is controlled

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

Talking to Red MAGA and Blue MAGA is like trying to have a conversation with someone from a different universe. They're both so propagandized and detached from material reality that it's absurd.

Will add, Midwest small town white people are mostly rascist/homo/trans/xeno phobic. 40% blatant and a good 70% closed door safe space hateful (see list above). I got a demo, they feel safe saying things in front of me.
This country has and always will be full of hate. It’s in the fabric.

How many reactionary centrists painted blatant racism as "economic anxiety." The media whitewashed all of this for a decade. The greatest sin in their eyes was calling MAGA racist.
It wasn't about economic anxiety just as much as targeting trans people isn't about concerns for women's rights.
