FistEnergy posted:Speaking of ridiculous and embarrassing pretend currencies, my wife was recently unboxing some long-term storage from her childhood and discovered her collection of beanie babies. Most of them in the unopened original box if it came with one, and all with the tags still attached. Her mom bought her a ton as a child and they basically just sat in a box. is that what they're valued at, or what they've sold for?

ram dass in hell posted:It's also not as simple as just go buy healthy food and cook it when you've got an 8 hr work shift with a commute to and from and then you're gonna be exhausted because yr job sucks, how tf are you gonna say it's a moral failing that you didn't stop by whole foods and spend 3x as much money on free range fair trade quinoa to feed yr kids instead of mcdonalds?? Make the full time work week 20 hours and raise min wage to $50/hr. Thank u. It's also another bit of moralizing from on high where if Americans actually followed it, entire economic sectors would collapse overnight

if Hawley votes for it, all that bad press goes away but he keeps the support he gets from it. If he votes for it and can say he was the deciding vote after the Dems tried to quietly kill it, he becomes the best positioned Republican to win the big chair in 2024

Lawman 0 posted:Oh totally but I'm specifically thinking that's the line of attack Ted Cruz will go for. Cruz has done well coasting on the fact that he was the #1 choice of most of the people who had to come around to Trump, but I don't think his leash is infinite, and he himself has floated working with AOC on stuff so he's not immune from those same attacks I think the more establishment leaning Republicans will do as they have always done - get defeated by their fringe colleagues because they have no idea how to fight them

the thought of those huge beautiful industrial kitchens gathering dust as prepackaged stuff is scooped into cups in a corner fills me with horror the potential output with even a minimum of labor and bulk inputs in a kitchen like these schools have is incredible, but I guess doing so excludes the middle men so RIP

spacetoaster posted:Our system started contracting everything somewhere around a decade ago. Janitors, cafeteria workers, substitutes, aides, etc are not working for the school system (the older ones are, but anybody hired recently is a contractor). They work for some contracting company that goes out of business every two years and is replaced by a new business (run by the same couple of people). if it's anything like the scam private schools around here, they go out of business on a cycle to avoid lawsuits that are piling up, and open up in the same location with the same staff and same current crop of contractors (maybe forced to reapply at a lower rate) but with a new name lol

spacetoaster posted:Holy cow that's awful. tbh the ones I'm thinking, I'm not sure they ever actually had students. I'm pretty sure they were just schoolfronts for some voucher or grant scam involving state level athletics I live in the testing grounds for Pence's private schools btw so this is going to be everywhere eventually also if a public school gets closed down here, there is literally a law requiring the entire school be sold to a private operator for $1 who can then qualify for renovation and other grants. There's quite a few who just work to buy them up and get grants and then sell the properties a year or two later, then use that money to lobby for more policies that will end up causing schools to get closed down. it's a great system we've got!

a landfill eventually becomes overpriced investment homes that sit empty, and is thus infrastructure built up by the pre-revolutionary state to be seized. A much better investment than just tossing it into the trash islands

cumshitter posted:like i know you get pissy about this poo poo but its true that inflation can be low and also true that landlords are leeches Its frankly nonsense because the actual reality for most of this country is that that inflation figure means absolutely nothing but it is what we are chained to like someone out of a Greek myth lol Literally the only intersection between my life and the much touted sensible metric of inflation is that it's why I literally cannot open a banking account that doesnt lose me money

Raccooon posted:Something I don’t get. If shorting never requires selling a borrowed amount of stock and is just a uhh side bet (?). How does it affect the price of a stock? I thought the whole point of if you had a lot of shorts then that meant lots of people would be selling borrowed stock dropping the price of said stock. As I understand it, people putting loads of cash into GME is making it number go up, and as it rises some of these contracts come due, meaning the vultures have to scramble for shares, which drives the price up even more, and so on until trading is halted a dozen times in the hopes that it'll get them to knock it off

Raccooon posted:From cumshitter’s post it sounded like the short sellers who lose never need to buy the stock just provide the cash differential. Like their bet would never need to impact the stock price directly as they never would buy or sell it directly. Yeah but they're buying the shares as a means to lessen the pain, which in cases like this means having to go to the people who are collaborating to never sell until it hits a certain level
