Morrowind and Oblivion into Skyrim, fallout 3/NV into 4 really opened my eyes into the enshittification before that was even a term I had read anywhere. It was a company who got too big for its breeches and thought it knew better..

A 401k is something, an account, I legally own. A pension is a promise.

The value of money is based on the market, all aspects of finance are based on economies. Even just a straight up savings account gradually devalues

We fucked up a species when we traded communities for economies.

Anyone ever experience someone else discovering that Joji is frank without any prior knowledge of frank? It's so surreal some people actually get mad at a dude who made dumb jokes when he was a kid.

Haven't most places moved to 401ks for this reason? I'd never participate in a pension and I imagine the vast majority of those working in the tech industry are smart enough not to as well

I could be wrong I'm basing all this on assumptions about others intelligence

If a business was actually losing money for 20 years straight then how does it continue to grow? Think about Amazon and how long it wasn't profitable despite being one of the largest businesses ever in recorded history.

It's a business scam that's a legal way of pay significantly less taxes than they normally would.

I mean

There was this whole thing called the Soviet Union then there was like a missile crisis

And there was like a group that called themselves National Socialists and they did a genocide and tried to take over a bunch of land by force

We also had to fight a bunch of talking trees that dug tunnels because military industrial complex and heroin

It's definitely many layers of propaganda but as an American I definitely understand WHERE it comes from, I understand why most people here flinch at the word.

You also gotta understand we had multiple generations in a row huffing lead gasoline so while younger millennials aren't impacted as bad, MOST Americans are legitimately lead brained.
