If anyone actually knew WHEN it would crash they wouldn’t tell be saying anything and instead placing bets via the stock market.

Monday morning, my alarm goes off. As I reach to turn it off I see a bright pink teddy bear standing at my bedside. Before I can react it blasts me in the face with a ray of pure happiness as I forget that wages have not been keeping pace with productivity or inflation.

Not “forever” but they should continue to work it seems. They will degrade and slowly stop working over time tho, no clue how long.

- Comment on What's stopping people who lash out at the world from going after corporations? 8 months ago:
Read somewhere they target places that are easy/defenseless/won’t give resistance. They target schools, churches, shopping centers, all places with little to no ability to fight back against someone with a gun. Life/society has been cruel to them so they want to return that cruelty to society.
But as someone else said it’s not always rational stuff going thru these people’s minds.

- Comment on Poignant post on the state of things 9 months ago:
After WW2 almost every other developed nation was in ruin. The US was “the only game in town” when it came to production. This caused US labor to be in high demand and priced at a premium compared to places like in Europe or Japan, who were more concerned about rebuilding than exporting goods.
THIS is how a high school dropout could afford a house and a family. Because that high school dropout was basically your only option for labor. As those other countries finished rebuilding a lot manufacturing jobs left and things started to get “back to normal”.
The US was in a unique position but like most things it was just squandered. Now the US is “regressing towards the mean”. This is going to be the new normal because the last 40-50 years was an exception.

I’ve tried to argue a company that made $800k profit this year even tho they made $900k last year is still a profitable business and people unironically argue that company is dying and bad…

- Comment on Why do people say that "return to office" is about raising commercial real estate prices? 1 year ago:
Ok I’ll try to explain it. Imagine before if your company had 100 people and they all needed offices so you rent a place that has 100 offices.
Now you switch to work from home and let’s say only 20 people really need office space since the other 80 can just work from home.
Why would you continue to rent the building with 100 offices? You wouldn’t. Instead you find a place with maybe 30 max. And you’re not the only company doing this too.
So now nobody really wants or needs huge office spaces and the people who own these have trouble finding new tenants, demand isn’t very high so they’ll have to lower prices. That’s what people refer to, since the value of these buildings is partially based on the income they can produce. If that goes down then so does the overall value of the building.
It doesn’t hurt the employer unless they themselves just spent A TON of money building their own huge building. Then it would be mostly empty and a huge waste of money so it would look bad.

- Comment on Is "Burn Notice" worth watching? 1 year ago:
I’d say it’s like an updated version of MacGyver. The main trio will try to help someone, the plan will go sideways and they’ll have to improvise is kinda the basic premise. Some episodes are a bit too predictable imo but there are tons of good ones!! My favorite is the one where they convince a gang that Michael (main guy) is LITERALLY the devil lol. And Danny Trejo makes a cameo. It’s season 3 episode 11 called “Friendly Fire”. There’s some season long arc stuff at the start of the episode but it’s so good lol.
