I remember learning only about supply and demand economics in middle school, inflation was only taught in regards to Germany in the 1920s in which inflation was described as “too much money circulating.” But I was always told it was because the people had too much money and not the wealthy. Obviously I know the contrary is true now but learning what all this economy stuff is currently is low key difficult, I’m sure I‘ll get it sooner or later. I just want to be able to explain these issues to others without getting brain scramble. As far as I’m aware, both inflation and recession are bad, at least for us.

Does that mean I too can have a Lenin statue and nobody can do anything about it?

Probably because of the movie

Yup, as of today their air supply is completely depleted.

They definitely are now, their air supply has ran out.

It’s incredibly ironic that a bunch of rich folks spent life changing money to gawk at the sight of a pauper’s grave just to add to the body count.

I remember seeing people make posts about the lack of rainbow capitalism.

Rainbow capitalism is bad and has been critiqued (at least in my circles) every year pride month comes around, but the fact that major companies are backing out of it this year due to the increased controversies (mainly over trans rights) seems to be a predictor of what’s to come. Their words not mine.

I think it’s an interesting perspective and definitely has weight to it. Companies felt comfortable to commercialize pride since it was technically more favourable but now because of rising anti-LGBTQ (again, mostly targeted at trans people but reflects previous homophobic vitriol) sentiment and legislation they’re pulling back on “support.” Hopefully this will start to show people that these companies never had their best interest in mind and it’s always been about profit. Nothing more.
