Who is Steve Jobs?

So interest rate went from 3% to 3.3%? And it's trailing behind the base interest rate? And it's half the nominal GDP growth? Stop the press or something.

Show me on this graph where does the astronomical interest due to national debt inflation starts

They "pay" interest by literally just writing a new number on their account. You're linking to conservative think thanks.

jfc, you can criticize the way that the government spends, but "national debt" is literally "money circulating in the economy". As long as there's no runaway inflation, it can be higher. And it should be higher.

Whenever I think that I got a hang of how stupid the US political system is, it turns out even stupider. What the hell do you mean that spend court documents are not public? It's like how popes can appoint cardinals without telling anybody?

But you are voting in people that represent US values pretty well.

Idk, for me it sounds like a country with monetary sovereignty so they do what countries are supposed to do, that is set their monetary policy. Debts of a sovereign country are nothing like debts you and I can make.

Yeah, that is 100% capitalist-realist defaultism. You know why it's all grey-and-beige with no personality now? Because that's what sells in real-estate catalogue. It's all about resale value against use-value that modernism and minimalism was all about. Now alienation is the goal.

This is what modernism really took from you. In 1935 in Sweden around 5% of people had access to toilets in their apartments. In 1918, 75% of apartments in Vienna were overcrowded, with a homeless population of 90,000 people. But they always think they would be one of those champs in gentlemen clubs drinking whisky in armchairs and not a factory worker doing 12 hour shifts to stay in their single room hovel with their five children.

Yeah, also imagine evacuation over this super-thin corridor. "After you, champ", "No, no, I insist, you go first, sir". And fire safety of it all.

And to get back to the first point, you would rather expect your train to look like this. This is what regular people used.

Go to any well-built modernist building. If you spend a moment to look, you will see how much effort went into details, into humanist, scalable solutions. There's art, there are colors, there are very deliberate, human-centeted proportions. That is real minimalism.

#66 minimalism didn't kill anything. First, of you see an interior like that, you can be damn certain your poor ass would not be welcomed there. Second, who cleaned it all and how much effort it took? And finally third, minimalism is not what people think it is. Minimalism begets a question: if you remove any element, will the whole be incomplete because of it. That also includes ornament. What we see today is not minimalism, rather defaultism of capitalist-realism.

#49 Americans talking about ideology: imagine if everyone ate like a 10 yo.

Are you aware that the US controls its currency and it is not a debt that needs to be repaid? It can be forever rolled over because it's just a number.

And y'all just let them do whatever they want because there's no workers' movement whatsoever. Your grand-grandparents let Taft-Hartley pass and you never did anything to change it.

They're literally running one of the biggest frauds in history. It requires an intersection of having a tremendous ego, unimaginable greed, and null empathy. They're sleazy salesmen selling you magic pots, except they're given the keys to some 3 trillion dollars. Anyone who doesn't despise them is a gullible idiot.

It's an universal law of neoliberalism that any office that's supposed to help people is actually oriented on gatekeeping help from those that need it. I know too many stories like this all around me. I'm genuinely sorry. I hope you can keep going, even if it's just to spite them.
