Fairy tale how exactly? I put money in, wow more money now! Which part fake???

That’s just not logical man, because first of all it’s the entire basis of the banking system. Money creates money, and your investment in the stock market is essentially similar to a loan offered by a bank. The money you spent buying the stock allows the company to invest more in the business, and you get increased stock value for your trouble.

Maybe you want to be more specific about what you mean by “value”, but it was valuable for me to be able to buy a house without having to pay for it all up front, for example.

You even acknowledge that we workers are forced to be accomplices in this scam, chasing our breadcrumbs. Why would you denigrate those who participate in the system because we have literally no other choice? What is your point? Should I boycott the stock market in the hopes that some oligarch notices?

No, the entire system is built on exploitation of workers. As a worker in the system, I’m talking about how to scrape a life out the best you can.

It’s objectively better to put your money that you want you save and possibly grow in an index fund, if you live in the us.

I mean, we still live in this mess, so investing your money in the stock market is in fact a good idea. We should obviously tax the rich.

Uh, no, it’s a sacred part of my childhood on Nintendo!

Important context, I would say

Maybe a family member? He’s old enough to see a grandparent have the quality of their last days stolen.

Depends on what you mean by “money” I guess, but banks create money every day when they give out loans for more money than they actually have.

Well, they’ve generally moved on from “it isn’t real”, to “it’s the natural cycle and out of our control”, so I’m gonna say blame the Dems!

Did you miss the part where it only goes to families making under 100K? You got a funny definition of “rich”.

I’ll say this, keep solar as a backup, or way overbuild what you need on turbines. Low power, causing pump jacks and steam generation to slow, can cause a negative feedback loop and crash your power!

You said that one of your reasons is to “take advantage of foundries”, and I wanted to mention that while they must be built on Vulcanus, you can place them on other planets!

Or those willing to be paid in order to influence recommendations to the highest bidder

It would seem to do that, yes. You don’t even have to be abroad, as you could easily be stationed in a different state from your “home” residence.

This has no effect on federal elections of course, and so I think it’s not that unreasonable to say that you only get to vote on local issues if you are living locally.

Who said “things are good actually”?? Seems to me that Harris had plenty of policy proposals that would have resulted in a meaningful improvement to the bottom line of the average American.

Biden has also been better for the average American than trump was. For fucks sake, Trump actually got away with raising taxes on all of us to support his tax cut for the rich, simply because the average person is too low information to grasp the idea of a tax cut that expires!

So yeah, plenty of actual reasons to say that one candidate is better than the other, without needing to be wowed by an actual messiah who can dismantle our fucked up system and solve everybody’s problems.

I don’t think incivility deserves civility in return, but apparently you were being sarcastic? It’s hard to distinguish because people unironically say the same things you did.

Nah, you didn’t.

Oh so you had nothing to say? Cool story.

Yeah like what’s actually the point? WC2 is not a game that holds up today compared to where the genre has gone.
