Land ownership, entrenched wealth. The economy already started to shift towards selling a few exceptionally expensive items to the rich over selling a ton of cheap items to the poor years ago, and we’re going to see how far it can go into “if nobody has money who’s going to buy everything” before a collapse. The examples I’m most familiar with are in video games. Gacha games target whales while, in the worst cases, using free players as content for those whales who are spending thousands or tens of thousands a month. Meanwhile, the price for individual releases keeps going up to the point that there’s speculation that the coming console generation the switch 2 is heralding will be the first one that isn’t affordable for the average american household.

The top 10% of US earners are already behind half of all consumer spending.

This is the one I’ll never get over. Just, take American warcrimes and push them somewhere else!

Recently had a talk with hospital employee friend about ED and how it’s exceptionally preventable and 9 times out of 10 caused by sedentary lifestyle resulting in poor circulation. Pass it on to bro, I guess.

I know the guy who made this! He distributed it among acquaintances and I lost 6 hours of my life going “this is too much, but I can’t stop”

It’s hysterical how he compares the US to a department store, a kind of store that is all but dead in 2025.

The simpsons got it right decades ago with Dems: We’re incompetent and can’t govern Reps: We’re evil! But Seriously, the biggest problem the Dems have in 2025 is that they’re ANCHORED in establishment. Those in the lead now are not there because they’re capable, intelligent, or popular, but because they waited their turn. It’s a commitment to fairness and rules to the point of self sabotage. Tell Schumer and Pelosi to take a hike, put AOC, Booker, anyone else who has a plan and is committed to actually FUCKING DOING SOMETHING in charge, rather than telling them to play nice with the party and wait their turn behind the wheel when current leadership dies.
