@Jacob id add in the qualifier that the standard doesnt apply to basic entry level jobs like churro selling which are usually for high school students to get some experience so they can move on.

ah okay

When you control every aspect of the market and currency, there's really not a lot you can't get away with.

to be honest, if I could make enough money to sustain myself with an easy job, I'd just take an easy job

Yeah I used to be a libertarian but I’m definitely a lot less free market now. My only qualm about limiting automation and avoiding the creation of self aware AI is that China has no such constraints

@Grenadier I mean I still don't think that's physically possible just because of math and stuff, but maybe I'm just not knowledgeable on economics

Well, China may not have such reservations but they're going to reap the same whirlwind.

Just like with designer babies. While we are waiting around China is actively pursuing the creation of 200 IQ children

It’s unnatural but I’m afraid it’s necessary to avoid being conquered by China

I'm not a free market absolutist but I think there needs to be a bit of temperament in some circles where people start throwing everything out conservatives touched just because neocons are gay. There are some complicated arguments on why markets should be more or less loosely regulated. Things like amazon paying no taxes are an issue though, as well at tech company censorship.

@OttoVonBismarck dude I totally agree

I think the internet should be declared a public forum

at some point we have to get over "ew it's gross"

because if we don't do it China is gonna wreck us

To be fair that guy got shut down hard by china. It's not a sanctioned project.

maybe that guy did, but eventually China is gonna get into some crazy stuff

There are two babies on this earth that are now gene edited to resist HIV now though.

Yeah, we’re basically in that Star Wars garbage compactor right now with China on one side and the third world on the other. Meanwhile globalists are the tentacle monster

@OttoVonBismarck the tentacle monster is called a dianoga, utterly vile creatures

@OttoVonBismarck internet race types smelled something and roared

<:really:453005408064241674>

that's probably the silliest reason to be pessimistic right now

I'm feeling personally attacked rn

the real black pill is that any gene edited super whites will just team up with super Asians and dispose of us with all of the browns

Oh and super heebs

I just don't understand why the greatest generation and boomers didn't seem any solutions to the growing epidemic of genetic defects within the population. They understand our divorce rates are sky high, among many other things, but they sought no solution because of "muh repeating history". It's just infuriating, and now we have a potential high I.Q China which is far worse than any brown invasion.

Its because of those damn phones

Must be them violent video games <:boomer:394308007217070080>

My friend was telling me about how when he's older he's gonna have a home theater and a home gym and all this stuff. Both of us go to the college whose graduates literally have the lowest median income in the state. Is he delusional, or is this stuff not that hard to get?

Gym equipment is expensive as hell

Seriously. I try talking with my boomer mother about this and she just talks about how we need immigration to fill all those jobs whites don’t want, no fault divorce is liberation, etc.

And I’ve learned my lesson trying to talk about Israel with any boomer

I'm glad my mom understands the JQ

@OttoVonBismarck I just point out how Israel is the most racist country I know, they wouldn't exist without their historical extreme xenophobia, and I leave it at that tbh.

“Chosen people”, “holocaust”, “our only friend in the Middle East”, etc

@fgtveassassin So expensive that someone with an accounting degree from a minor regional university and at least two kids couldn't afford it? I personally think he's delusional tbh.

@OttoVonBismarck oh God, discussing immigration with my dad is the worst

he's so rude about it too

I'm not sure how much accountants make in Washington, everything I see has accountants at a pretty high income

I hope I'm not being lied to with those charts because that's my major

Depends on which company you work for really
