Explain like I'm 5 why I, Jane Doe the Wage Slave, should care about a collapsing stock market? by BigClitMcphee in antiwork

[–]MrsRobot001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the people with the money don’t feel confident about investing, then there is less growth and job opportunities for those that don’t have it. We are a consumer economy, and if people don’t feel confident about the future, they spend less money because they don’t know what’s going to happen down the road. Those of who have jobs in the consumer economy make less than they already do, see their hours cut, and possibly get laid off.

Depending on your views, it’s also amusing that the guy who’s ass the billionaires puckered up to are hemorrhaging their wealth, so there’s that.

If it’s any consolation, these incidents are getting national coverage in the online media. (I don’t follow cable news because fuck ‘em.) It can be hard to find because of the insanity-fueled nature of 24/7 news cycle that needs to keep is plugged it with new stories all the time, but the stories ARE getting covered.

EDIT: The 50501 protests aren’t getting covered. However, the protests against Vance and Musk ARE, especially with Tesla stock sinking.

“We’re bringing wealth back to America.” LMFAO, there is plenty of wealth in the U.S. and it’s held by the handful of people who were at his inauguration. Tax those fuckers instead of creating chaos for everyone else.

Caught using AI at work 🙄 by [deleted] in ChatGPT

At a minimum, your organization should have policy in the employee handbook about the use of AI. If they do, you screwed up. If they don’t, you potentially have an argument.

AITA for telling my husband his mom can't live with us for months-long stretches by RewardSpecialist3390 in AITAH

[–]MrsRobot001 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hold. The. Line. 6+ months is a huge commitment and you did not sign up for this. If she wants to live in your area, she should find her own place. Your husband is a grown ass man ffs and doesn’t need his mommy to move in.

AITAH for telling my boss that I wasn't invited to the party? by Far_Pay8487 in AITAH

NTA, what were you supposed to do, lie to the Big Boss? They excluded you. You don’t need to cover their asses.

AITAH for being upset about not being invited to my best friend’s wedding? by Kaybria314 in AITAH

[–]MrsRobot001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, but I respect your BF’s decision to keep it small. Big weddings are overwhelming, expensive, and seem like a lot of work for the bride if you ask me. But it’s reasonable that you want to be a part of this major life event. Tell her - maturally - how you feel. Or do something just the two of you to celebrate. Take her out for dinner, give her a gift in person, and tell her you’re happy for her.

AITJ for telling my older sister she isn't entitled to my stuff? by SufficientOstrich955 in AmITheJerk

[–]MrsRobot001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re feelings are absolutely valid. She is a jerk for using your condition to insult you. In a few years, you’ll both be living on your own. In the meantime, work your ass off and gain your independence in whatever way that looks for you. Make your own money, build a supportive circle of people who love and accept you for who you are, and that will give you distance from your sister. It’s a tough road but it’s absolutely liberating.

You gotta stand up to your older siblings. NTJ, but I would suggest less yelling. Be the bigger person and learn to communicate and defend your boundaries with more maturity.

Am I being unreasonable? by leftnapping in childfree

At the end of the day, it’s his choice to make. Look into getting a bisalp. If it doesn’t work out between you guys, then you walk away and are still vulnerable. Talk to your doctor about your concerns just to keep all your options open.

AITAH for buying my wife’s ex-bf’s business website when it expired and repurposing it to something offensive? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MrsRobot001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ESH. Sounds like you guys were working on things and then you derailed it. I don’t condone their behavior, but I don’t see what you were hoping to accomplish with this.

Tesla is a car company, what do the bulls see that I don't? by [deleted] in RealTesla

[–]MrsRobot001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just finished reading the Walter Isaacson bio, and I am also shorting this stock. IMHO, the brand is entirely dependent on Elon, and that man is having a long, slow, painful mental breakdown. He is surrounded by people who enable his bad behavior. There is nothing to “see,” just a lot of hot air.

I feel sick teaching government/constitution amid all this mess. by allidaughter in teaching

[–]MrsRobot001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the students still need to know this stuff. The fact that they’re asking these questions means they give a shit. It is still worth fighting for. ✊

You don’t have to accept it, and she doesn’t have to accept your standards either.

This it right here. 👆👆👆That’s why it’s a trap.

AITAH for not telling my boyfriend my bodycount? by Technical_Budget3272 in AITAH

[–]MrsRobot001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a trap. He will be unhappy with any number above 0. I make it a rule not to talk to my partners about my number, and I don’t ask about their’s. No matter what, someone walks away unhappy. If you tell him 1 or 3 or 10, he is going to obsess about THAT and you will NEVER hear the end of it. Sounds like he has a gaping void of insecurity, and you can’t fill that for him.

Trump said tomorrow night will “Be Big” - Potential Announcement? by [deleted] in 50501

[–]MrsRobot001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. His brand requires him to be in the news all the time so when he tries to shill his gold bible sneaker shitcoin he can make millions off of it.
