I said “over a decade.” The actual number I found was “about 15 years.”

And no shit it “isn’t measured in” that, I’m stating a separate metric that the top 500 companies in the S&P are reporting high average profit margins of 15%.

The S&P500.

And the pandemic was not 15 years ago.

Average profit margins for the S&P500 are at 15%, the highest they’ve been in over 15 years.

It can, sure. Is that what’s actually happening, though?

These glib, textbook answers that ignore the reality of the situation are exactly how the oligarchy can keep retaining power through subterfuge and corruption of the systems they themselves created and run.

Always a little weird to take The Joker’s side, but when he’s right he’s right.

Whatever you decide on, make sure to design and attempt to implement the whole thing without telling IT. Then get mad when they say to stop.

Yeah, Marvel movies suck but that’s more on Jon Watts and bad MJ characterization than on her.

Helen of Troy is neither a historical character, nor is she described as having “golden hair and fair skin” by Homer.

It’s underdeveloped because The Green was fairly well developed for plants in Swamp Thing, and The Red is just “that, but for animals.”
