[03:08] MinceR indeed [03:09] IsambardPrince I was watching a movie where some guy in Japan complains about 85,000 Yen for an apartment. [03:09] IsambardPrince Then he looks and says "25,000....for a parking space!?" [03:09] MinceR especially compared to its value [03:09] MinceR but it's going to get worse [03:09] IsambardPrince MinceR, Yeah, when I looked, that's only like $552 or something for the apartment he was complaining about. [03:09] MinceR per month? [03:09] IsambardPrince But then I looked at the Yen when the movie was made compared to the USD. [03:10] IsambardPrince And he was complaining about like $980 or something in USD in 2019. [03:10] IsambardPrince And more to park. [03:11] IsambardPrince I don't know. It's hard to compare two national currencies. [03:11] IsambardPrince Over time. [03:12] IsambardPrince Inflation in Japan just doesn't really happen from what I can tell. [03:12] IsambardPrince Even though their central bank has been trying forever. [03:12] IsambardPrince https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/push_on_a_string.asp [03:12] TR Bot Pushing On A String: What It Means, How It Works, Example [03:13] IsambardPrince "Monetary policy sometimes only works in one direction because businesses and households cannot be forced to spend if they do not want to. Increasing the monetary base and bank reserves will not stimulate an economy if banks think it is too risky to lend and the private sector wants to save more because of economic uncertainty." [03:13] IsambardPrince In Japan, this is apparently what's going on. [03:13] IsambardPrince In America, we have a dead economy with inflation. [03:14] IsambardPrince You go, "Why can they make inflation here, and not in Japan?" [03:14] IsambardPrince Well, the banks are greedy and willing to take enormous risk on individual debtors at horrendous interest rates that aren't even legal in Japan. [03:14] IsambardPrince :) [03:15] IsambardPrince So people spend money that's not theirs and then the bank either sues them or they go bankrupt and get more credit cards. [03:16] IsambardPrince Americans (typically) don't save anything. [03:16] IsambardPrince They live so close to the edge that there's basically no money in the bank and they max out one credit card after another, all their income goes to things they already bought and the monthly bills. [03:16] IsambardPrince It's all debt service. [03:23] IsambardPrince When your entire income is debt service, you have to work more, but then you borrow more because suddenly they up all your limits. [03:23] IsambardPrince :) [03:25] IsambardPrince MinceR, I have a theory. [03:25] IsambardPrince Suicide prevention isn't about saving lives. [03:25] IsambardPrince It's about forcing people to live so you can collect debt. [03:25] darwin do young Twitter/X losers believe '140 characters is "wall of text"'?! :O [03:25] IsambardPrince Interventions themselves create medical debt. [03:41] IsambardPrince MinceR, That Mexican guy that was in here spraying paint fumes and drywall dust who the landlord had doing plumbing, who dried the drywall with a blowtorch, and then painted....half my bathroom....

It wasn't a one time thing, it was now a culture of continual layoff and financial engineering. This type of decision making by Gertsner led to stealing our pensions and eliminating 401 K matches. It underpins the mass layoffs in the US and the forced death march to India. [15:58] schestowitz[TR2] What happened back then?After losing their monopoly on the IBM PC market, Akers and his cronies sold all of the mainframe licenses for a quick buck and then a couple of years later realized there was no new licensing income.

[22:01] IsambardPrince "Things get worse with more people. [22:01] IsambardPrince I told my Dad a version of what I see happening in an E-Mail. [22:01] IsambardPrince "America is a form of insanity. Capitalism is a form of insanity. [22:01] IsambardPrince If aliens landed here and you had to explain a system that produces millions of people who have no function and who nobody bothers to educate, and then another part of the system that creates millions of tonnes of food and consumer goods that nobody can afford that get thrown away, and stores like Walmart paying a private army of goons and putting anti-theft stickers on parmesan fucking cheese, and courts that spend all day [22:01] IsambardPrince convicting people who can't afford bread, and everything around us being some sort of a scam or advertisement for a scam, while about 100 people in a country of 340 million had all the money, and we were ruining the planet that we were trapped on because some people think ecocide is fine because Jesus will save them, they'd blow up the Earth to make sure that we never got out and took these "funny" ideas anywhere else." [22:01] IsambardPrince It's not just an American thing. Russia is controlled by Putin, and his jackbooted thugs, who is backed by the Russian counterparts to people like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates. [22:01] IsambardPrince In many ways, Putin is a member of the "Republican Party" of Russia, which is why he has so many Republicans admiring him here. [22:01] IsambardPrince To the conservatives, life is so cheap that they consider millions of people to have been born for no other reason than to eat a bullet in some godforsaken part of the world. The Capitalists blame Communists, but in reality they both have the same view on the cheapness and disposable nature of human life. [22:01] IsambardPrince There's no tactical or practical reason for Putin to have even taken the land he did in Ukraine. He did it because conservatives are stupid and like to hurt people. [22:01] IsambardPrince Putin is getting over 1,700 Russians killed every day in Ukraine trying to take about half a square mile of land each 1,700 or so... [22:01] IsambardPrince I really do think that Trump will destroy the US dollar. We'll be getting a year's worth of inflation every month. [22:01] IsambardPrince In Russia they had to increase interest rates to 15 or 20%. The economy is contracting, they're stuck in a war that nobody will end, and the rent on an apartment in Moscow and most of the cities goes up 4-7% each month. [22:01] IsambardPrince Not 4-7% per year... 4-7% per MONTH. [22:01] IsambardPrince So if you want a vision of the future for America think something like this."
