no, I mean your comment is spot on: yes, things have origins; no, we just keep the names they go by.

naturally.
"Am I championing getting rid of the filibuster now when the [GOP] has the trifecta? No," Jayapal said, according to HuffPost reporter Jennifer Bendery. "But had we had the trifecta, I would have been." Give her some points for honesty, I guess.

Thornton's stories from monetary history are fascinating stories and examples that have nothing to do with Gresham's Law.
Honestly, this has been stated up and down popular and academic outlets but the mind virus of confusing Gresham takes just will not freakin die! #738907

Shiiiite that's a good one. I'm sure he's said it a lot but if you could find the exact page number and/or video clip that'd be wonderful

Yup... Hence "broke their brains."
Remember Shawn Baker said something like this a while back, all these people having nutrient deficiency from not eating enough meat for so long, and now their brains are broken.
Have seen zero evidence for that, but some such grand story kinda has to be involved to see people cognitively and intellectually malfunction like this

I feel like jobs maybe involve anything physical (that can't easily be done by chat gpt / AI) would be an ok bet for now.
Indeed, indeed.
If your job isn't physical or you can't explain it to a five-year-old, it isn't a job and probably shouldn't be done.

The internal contradictions abound.
It'd be pretty wonderful to see this meltdown if it weren't so many people having so much influence. Scary world etc, but hopefully changing for the better

21 sats \ 4 replies \ @denlillaapan 20 Nov \ on: The welfare state and the silent german revolution alter_native
That's a sick Our World in Data graph: Americans working about the same hours, Germans just rushing away from the workplace.
27% of part-time workers do not think it is worth working full-time. Another 37% value family time even more. So more than half of part-time workers have no desire to work more.
One story about this has long been that "well, America has an unhealthy work ethic, and Europeans have better work-life balance, prioritizing leisure over extra income." But that "choice" isn't independent from the tax structure/work environment you're in. Maybe Germans under current shit system prefer to just opt out, but under a freer, fairer tax regime (i.e., zero) would work/earn/produce as much as people elsewhere?
This is my hope too:
This silent revolution will hopefully lead to the collapse of the system because they cannot tax as much as they need to and people are not willing to work more.
