There’s no way all that stuff is real. And yet I have to pretend that it’s totally legit to do stuff like buy someone’s debt???

“Sorry you can’t eat, or have a house or better yet live because you don’t have money” Statement uttered by the utterly deranged.

I just want to make programs that help people. That make them happy. But I have this econ class and I can’t make sense of any of it. Then I have to do my taxes and pay to do them? And then I can do nothing and still lose money because of inflation??? Who came up with this deranged system?

    I mostly hate how people care about economy and economical growth more than about lives of actual people. And then people talk about birth crisis!!! why would we encourage people make more kids if you want economy to be better for you? fucking capitalist propaganda

    Economics isn’t supposed to make sense, it’s a social science trying to masquerade as a hard science and pass off shoddy math as natural precepts like gravity. Orthodox economics really functions more like a secular religion, providing thought-terminating cliches to the masses and lending legitimacy to a system where a tiny fraction of people have more than everyone else combined, which makes absolutely zero sense from a position of actual logic and reason.

      This might be a good video, but the art deters me. It radiates some sort of miasma of chuddery. Will give it a watch later tho. Will report back with either based or kys depending on if I liked it or not.

        I disagree with like 1/3 of what Luke Smith says but the rest is very solid I think

    The person who came up with capitalism would probably have a heart attack and die immediately if he saw what his economic system did to the world
