At this point what they learn in business schools is the full bestiary of legal and illegal tricks and scams you can use to extract money from us cattle and contribute as little as possible to the upkeep :(

Heya fellow raccoon, raccoon Bible is much better than the one compiled by Roman bishops in 325AD in Nicea e.g. “let there be trash for all” and “give to racoons what belongs to the raccoons” :D

What could have been…instead we got tinder :/

There was Artifact 🤦

Ok, fine, I hadn’t considered that and it’s a factor. None of the demographically declining countries like Italy, Japan, Portugal is doing great in terms of growth…but they don’t have deflation either. You also have the productivity growth factor into account with automation (meaning each citizen produces more but also uses more resources)

Sure, any economy can experience deflation if you have more goods chasing the same amount of currency, but the point is that most economies usually print money, that causes inflation (moderately that mimics around 2% (approx. linear resource growth) and 4% (rent extraction). Interest rates influence market behaviour that causes inflation but do not determine inflation.

Probably a typo, but currency is *inflationary, cryptocurrency is *deflationary, that’s why it’s not for spending “now” (e.g. hodlbros)

And one of the best parts of online discussions is that they are not biased by how you look, just what you write :)

What are lurkers for if there is no advertising?

Man, I too would like to have a community gathering place, but the local church is super elitist and the priest is a conservative dickhead, so while I would have imagined that churches would not be like that, many alienate potential community members :/

It was the worldnews@lemmy.ml but I’m not sure where it is because lemmy.ml does not seem to exist.

Added context: the removed comment is from a hexbear, which I find even more ironic, because it was one of the more level-headed ones :)

One of the advantages of lemmy is the transparent modlog, where I see a) lots of thankless work mods perform I assume for free b) 99.99% bullshit that is not constructive in a public forum. I’m adjusting my expectations about the false positive removal rate considering how much useless comments get through.

I hope so 😇

I don’t understand your point. Are you saying every other industry is going to gather together to bring the car industry to account?

At least in 2019 they looked at me like I had 3 heads when I mentioned privacy and secure removable ID “pods”. I’m not sure the EU is strong enough to take on all the automaker lobby like they did VW.
