  • That's easy to say when your mortgage doesn't depend on the Emperor's New Clothes being real. Many if not most economists have staked their reputations and networks on pre-empiricism economics.

    It's not a simple matter of "whoops I was wrong about one thing". Since the 1970s we've turned the world economy upside-down to cater to billionaires and inequality has skyrocketed. It would be like a priest admitting he reassigned molesters for decades.

  • This is what happens when people think governments have natural rights.

  • Isn't this an ADA thing from which they can't opt out?

  • if you're deathly allergic to something as common as onions, you probably shouldn't rely on fast food workers to keep you alive.

    "Probably" is a big deal, though. It's included in food stamps for a reason - many people, for various reasons, can't prepare their own meals.

  • Back in June 2024, Wilson also sued Sonic for including onions on a burger.

  • Mad respect for the random stranger who unleashed his inner gorilla adrenaline.

  • If they don't understand tax incidence, then they'll believe it can be legislated.

    • They claim this
    • That's bullshit
    • Well ackchually they just said they claim it
  • Your uncle presses a hidden button to open an old garage door. Years of leaves and dead vines fall from the top edge, and a surprised bird darts out from its nest on the now-opaque window. As the door creaks open, the scent of stale Axe body spray floods the overgrown driveway.

    Inside, you see walls adorned with Kanye posters, Bored Ape printouts and flash drives in glass cases, and his crown jewel in the center - an original Cybertruck, still in mint condition. With a grin on his face, your uncle struts up to the masterpiece and pats it on the hood. The front bumper immediately comes loose, but he kicks it back into place before it hits the ground.

  • They would wholeheartedly agree with you because they can buy their way out of discrimination and we can't.

  • I'm a human I swear - I've been writing like this all along!

  • Wait how do they differ? Aren't radio waves the gayest waves in the electromagnetic spectrum?

  • Motte and bailey.

    • "The Kingdom of Foo has no inequality!"
    • "Actually it has quite a bit..."
    • "Well it's still moving in the right direction, and that's what really matters."
  • I'm charging a 200% tariff on your next install!

  • Even when it's some asshole who's always wrong, I try to remind myself that we're all helping to build a free alternative to corporate social media.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Will Lemmy spam become like email spam?
