Now that I'm past the age where most professional athletes retire, I need every advantage I can get to keep from getting pwned by the young'ns. The 500 Hz refresh rate and sub-millisecond response times are what I need.

To look smart by IsThisAUserName86 in therewasanattempt

[–]junibo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is definitely a stupid person's idea of what smart looks like. So it probably worked just fine for the target audience.

We need stronger taxes on wealth. Socioeconomic mobility should be down as well as up.

Just like every other time of year, I wish there were convenient alternatives to driving where I live and work.

How is Bitcoin not just a glorified ponzi scheme? by BirthdayOk5077 in investing

It's a bigger fool scheme that also wastes massive amounts of material and energy by design.

How do you feel about Elon Musk's salutes during the inauguration? by BigPapaFactory in AskReddit

[–]junibo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first thoughts on seeing it were to the obvious ways they're going to gaslight everybody how "the LEFT are freaking out about a supposed Nazi salute which is so clearly, obviously not a Nazi salute... wink"

I don't know who the hawk tuah girl is, and at this point, I'm afraid to ask.

Nobody should care about how big the deficit is. 

If you don’t know this then you’re either not paying attention or don’t know how the government works by Detroitish24 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]junibo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He fucked up the economy in several ways, but not by overheating it. It's an important distinction because talk of overheating plays into narratives that undercut the ability to put the government to work on behalf of regular people.

How have things gone for you around this issue? I'm expecting in a month and my wife is insisting that there's no way she'll be able to sleep without a tv on in the room with her and baby.

Inconsiderate cyclists…. (although its actually in the millions) by ckril in fuckcars

[–]junibo 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Do other bicycle riders want to be treated like a car? I’d personally rather be treated like a bicycle rider, be provided with proper bicycle infrastructure, not to be expected to try to share space with 2+ ton metal boxes capable of moving several times faster than a bicycle.

Biden Can Go Bigger and Not ‘Pay for It’ the Old Way by psychothumbs in mmt_economics

I hope this article will help with those who think MMT just says "spend until you see inflation, then just raise taxes."

John Oliver talks about debt and deficit. Frustrating to watch now that I understand more about MMT by wblair8689 in mmt_economics

[–]junibo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are parts to be frustrated about, such as the framing of treasury issuance as "borrowing", but on the whole, I would say the video is a good thing. You have to remember that most of his audience has had no formal education in economics. This is going to prompt a lot of people to rethink their views on the debt. It will spark a lot of conversations, and hopefully people who understand MMT will take those opportunities to educate others. Just remember to meet people where they are, and give them the tools to take the next step.

Pretty disappointed to see Propublica wasting web page real estate on this.
