  • Companies will be just selling stuff to the wealthy. Afaik currently already the top 10% wealthy make up 50% of consumerism related revenue.

  • Well yeah in civilized countries it is the norm. You know, countries where you don't have to go into debt for multiple generations just cos u visisted the doctor once. That explains why in the US you don't have to wait - there simply aren't a lot of people who can afford to see a doctor.

  • You just forgot one teeny-tiny thing right there, called taxes. If you have a job paying you 100k a year, that's not the amount that gets transferred to your bank account. In fact, in high-tax countries you prolly only see like half of that. And also don't forget rent and food and stuff like that, which reduces the amount of money you can actually spend on stuff you want even further. So yeah, considering all of that it will be difficult to even achieve a million bucks.

  • Ozempic shouldn't be the main way to reduce obesity in a population. Ozempic is needed in the US because there it is almost impossible to stay thin since companies are allowed to put high fructose corn syrup into pretty much anything. Regulating and banning such behaviour will result into a healthier population, without needing controversial drugs that you basically have to take for your whole life and can have severe side effects. Ozempic should NOT be normalized and should only be prescribed when nothing else helps.

  • It's not bad, I think you can play pretty much anything on 1080p with 60fps easily. It's just that if you want to play games in 1440p or 4K with 120 fps+ you need something more powerful.

  • Yeah maybe in California where the Cost of Living is abnormally high compared to the rest of the US and the rest of western countries.

  • It should not get like Reddit, but I still wish for more users so that some more specific "subreddits" (what's the term used here on Lemmy?) are getting more users and more posts.

  • Flogging is a form of punishment where you get whipped.

  • Baseball, huh?

  • Easier said than done lol. First of all, we are in a recession (we really are, if you factor out the fake AI growth), so having any job at all feels increasingly like a privilege. Second of all, I am pretty sure that there are more dickhead companies than good ones that care about their employees. Bonus points for difficulty if you just graduated from college/university and try to find an entry-level job. Those are basically non-existent these days.

  • So from ur PoV, it would also then be fine if for example a white actor would play MLK in a movie about him?

  • Doesn't the register show the cashier how much change he has to give out? Or are the math skills so bad that even just counting is already a challenge?

  • Privileged boomer right here

  • Nah, unfortunately those gigantic POSs always live the longest for some fckn reason.

  • Out of all EV manufacturers, why tf did u decide to get a Tesla?! Hope you got yourself a used one, at least.

  • Don't. Otherwise people here gonna label u as a racist lol. /j

  • England isn't part of the EU.

  • Nice meme from the past. Too bad nowadays corpos don't hire juniors anymore, their work is done all by AI. Or at least that's what corpos wish for.
