Can I get a summary of what the gently caress happened with that boat? Did it blast into the canal at like 70 mph and run half its length aground or something? How is it so firmly wedged into there that they can't just push/pull it back into the water?

its too big for the canal and a wind gust pushed it, causing its bulbous bow (lol) to penetrate the earth and now the keel seems to be stuck in the ground

Direct the hose into the rich's private reservoirs knowing that the sober, steadfast captains of industry will ensure a trickle down to the most meritorious of the hard working peasants. Thus creating proper incentive for the irresponsible poor classes to properly contribute to the betterment of their betters' society.

Officially, strong winds plus power failure at a bad time made it drift into the side of the canal and ram itself aground, enough of the bow is stuck on land that they can't get it moving again.

Unofficially lol who tf knows, it's pretty common practice for big ships like that to just not let the crew sleep for days on end when doing a canal/straits transit because the normal hour restrictions are lifted around those, and then maybe the canal pilot was drunk/high/sleep deprived too. Everyone involved was whisked away before the press could get to them and now we only have the party line.

ships losing the plant isn’t entirely uncommon during maneuvering too. I was on a ship that lost the plant under the Golden Gate Bridge as a cadet. most of the time they get it back up. honestly that it doesn’t happen more is more surprising.

That's a temporary problem though, not an event that turns something they produce by the tens of millions every year into appreciating investments.

It's cool how absolutely everything is so utterly hosed and interconnected it owns. Can't wait for acrual inflation when my wages absolutely will not keep pace. Not that they have for the last decade anyway. Love to year on year see my disposable income get smaller and smaller despite 2% raises a year lol. Extra funny when I tell my boss my 'raise' doesn't even keep up with how much my property taxes go up and he simply says it's not true.

just like the 1920’s and japan in the 1980’s, the “growth” today is just a debt fueled binge. We are going to have a massive amount of deflation.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

we will never have deflation in any meaningful way ever again because the average American is in debt up to their eyeballs and deflation lowers the value of that debt to the note holders.

It would raise the value of debts actually. We will never have inflation again is what I’m thinking. Only real growth causes inflation, and we haven’t had real growth in the economy since 1984

Weird coincidence that these visions were in the popular consciousness before unions were ground into dust and a functioning socialist state was kicking everyone's asses in metrics

Goons have made this claim before, but even everyone buying into GME still didn't do it. It's not happening.
