Economists refuse to use new metrics. Yeah we keep buying “luxury” goods. But that doesn’t mean shit when a daily existence requires stuff like smartphones and laptops that keep going obsolete every 3 years. Are those a luxury when existing in today’s daily life and work requires that I have all this stuff? Is that a fucking luxury? You think I want all this shit? Im happily running linux on my 2012 Mac for all my personal stuff but my work Teams Meet bullshit doesn’t play like that… Put away the old econ textbooks, boomer.

Y’all hear that? It’s our fault companies, particularly good companies, raised their prices to obscene levels because we kept buying them! Like we had a choice.

Just eat the fkin billionaires already. The tickle down effect is a lie and only works on corrupt politicians. Noone needs billionaires.
