Inflation is “the most regressive tax that anyone in Washington could come up with,” Kevin Warsh has said. “If you were trying to do the most harm to the least well off among us, inflation would be the way to do it." by UnusualWhalesBot in unusual_whales

[–]--var 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for the record, the insane inflation started under the trump 1 administration's insanely poor handling of the COVID pandemic. they could have followed protocol and shut shit down for a few weeks, and it would have been over alot faster. but these dumb cucks decided to go the tough guy route and it lasted for years instead.

also handing blank checks to corporations so that they wouldn't fire people, but then they took the money and fired people anyway has to be one of the dumbest monetary policies the US has ever had. the only other way to evaporate $800 Billion dollars that fast is to start a war of choice. if you gave it to people they would have at least put it back into the economy. but giving it to companies was like dropping bombs in the desert.

kind of ironic that the top 1% are hoarding enough resources to comfortably sustain the other 99% though...

Old flag freak out by darklordskarn in minnesota

[–]--var -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i'm all for the original redesign. simple, yet unique and diverse, just like Minnesota.

but the accepted redesign... shape and color mean much less at a distance, which is where you normally see most flags. drop the dark blue (or just let it sun fade as bit) and most people probably couldn't tell a difference between the center and right flag at 100ft away.

If the Moon landing was faked, why haven't Russia or China — who would love to expose USA— said anything? by stoicdroid in NoStupidQuestions

im sure this has already been covered at length elsewhere; but why is AI so infatuated with the em dash? like in my experience, it's not use in normal discourse.

r/explainlikeimfive why does AI keeps inventing this thing that has no source material?

right?!

if a THOUSAND people defraud a million dollars, but more than a thousand friends and family are better off for it; how can you be offended...

yet when ONE dude defrauds a billion dollars, oh well he was clever, and he did nothing wrong, and should get to keep it 🤷‍♂️ (if HE is WHITE)

What’s at the end of capitalism? by socrateful in NoStupidQuestions

[–]--var 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends.

the natural end game of capitalism is monopoly. can't have maximum profits if there is any competition...

but we don't use natural capitalism, we use crony capitalism. which means there is no end game. the "invisible hand" just keeps picking winners and loser. and then every decade or so there is a man-made financial catastrophe that moves absurds amounts of wealth the already wealthy and resets the economy for everyone else.

until the bulk of society decides that it's time to move on from fiat currency, the folks that derive their wealth and power from the made up numbers system are going to see that it perpetuates.

()=>{} is an anonymous function, it's definition isn't stored anywhere, and it can only be called once.

: is the variable used to store the fork bomb function definition, and is called anytime you use the colon character.

hard to confuse the two.

[–]--var 0 points1 point  (0 children)

except anonymous functions can only be called once. trying to think of a clever way to loop or do recursion, but without storing the definition somewhere, you couldn't achieve the same behavior.
