oxsnard posted:serious question: what's stopping, say, california from issuing a couple trillion dollars worth of bonds, implementing UBI and UHC and then daring the feds to let the state go bankrupt? The federal government would burn the country to the ground if that's what it took to punish CA for implmenting UHC.

Hadlock posted:Yeah they can move to an area with more economic opportunity and cities aren't mid decline cycle. Mid Atlantic region is not that place Poor people in the poor parts of the country are told that they're assholes for not moving to the wealthy cities because that's where the jobs are. Poor people in wealthy cities are told that they're assholes for not moving to the poor parts of the country because that's where the affordable housing is. This is an excellent system.

Dalaram posted:that looked like a Cozy, thought certainly not $1.4m townhouse until the bedroom, with the bed wedged between walls with the TV poised to fall, and then an open air shitter right behind the door. If you're the kind of person who sees it as an asset that you'll Airbnb out for a bit until you sell it at $5m then it's a steal.

Glumwheels posted:How is it possible it’s cheaper to buy crap tomato sauce via make it yourself? Tomatoes, onions, etc aren’t that expensive now even with inflation. gently caress, we make our own and maybe add a can of the Costco organic stuff in a pinch. It's a lot cheaper to mass ship trainloads of tomatoes to a factory, render that into nonperisable cans of sauce and then ship that at your leisure than it is to move highly perishable fruit through the supermarket's supply chain before it spoils.

Glumwheels posted:Farmers markets? I guess we’re kind of spoiled around here with what we have access to because we mostly by local veggies. My parents grow a lot of stuff each summer so we get garlic, eggplants, tomato’s etc and we make sauces and freeze them. Maybe it's different out in the country, but if you live anywhere with a substantial population, farmers markets are where you go to buy produce that might taste a little better but definitely costs five times as much as it does at the store. When you're talking about feeding millions of people who don't own enough land to feed themselves, you need to start looking at things like economies of scale, capital ownership, market forces, and all that other crap. At that point you would be better off reading Marx and getting the big picture rather than thinking about small potatoes like tomatoes.

Shear Modulus posted:do hotels still do the continental breakfasts? i havent stayed in a hotel in years but that sounds exactly like the thing they would "temporarily" stop because of covid and then never bring back It's pretty common in hotels that serve business travelers.

Mr. Lobe posted:What does this mean? The notion of owning a house is as fantastical as getting a closet doorway to Narnia so I haven't bothered learning a thing about buying and selling houses It's not about selling the house so much as losing that cheap mortgage. The next house they buy will have a mortgage with three about times that rate. So, if they buy a house with a similar price as the last one, they would have a much larger mortgage payment. Or, if they want to keep the same payment, they would have to buy a much cheaper house.

Bar Ran Dun posted:it’s not the whole cohort but there is a segment that is absolutely deranged in that age bracket across class lines that is notable. Every day of our life we are witness to people of every age behaving like psychopaths. All you're doing is attaching special meaning to ones who look old and ignoring the ones you don't care about. You're patting yourself on the back for being good at confirmation bias. In then years time when we've transitioned fully over to "generation X is the cause of all life's problems" you will be making the same arguments Willa is making.

90s Solo Cup posted:The whole "racial purity" thing seems like the elephant in the Japanese room. No idea how many people actually subscribe to that nonsense, but it apparently informs on Japan's staunch resistance to immigration. The idea that race mixing is problematic is universal - it's just that countries with racially mixed populations have a stronger motivation to move past that. If Japan had a stable population, we wouldn't be giving it a second thought.
