He prolly lives in the US were gas ist still cheap af lol

Less demand = people getting laid off because now there’s not enough work -> increase in unemployed -> fewer people paying taxes and social security stuff -> government can spend less which often leads to cuts in social security programs -> people can spend even less -> demand for products and services drops even further -> more layoffs -> cycle repeats

There will never be a civil war cos the left have no guns whereas the conservatives have lol

Yeah but that would mean the death of their cultures. Japan (and SK prolly as well) has a lot of complicated societal values, norms and culture that you can’t just learn as a foreigner, or at least that’s my impression. Opening the floodgates would make Japan cease to exist, as it would continue to exist only on paper. A country defines itself via culture, tradition and shared values. If those get lost because of immigration, then does this country really still exist?

Imagine taking up a five-figure debt for this kinda shit lol

Who tf quits their job voluntarily in this economy? And then in a shithole country like the US at that, where social security safety nets basically don’t exist

Because different teeth serve different purposes. That’s why canines, incisors and molars all look different from each other.

Lemmy is politically extremely left leaning, so prepare to get downvoted for just having center opinions, let alone conservative ones. But unlike Reddit, downvotes (and upvotes for that matter) don’t mean shit.

I hope people don’t actually give this thing agency while it’s in its infancy

Why not switch to an EV? I’ve heard the Scandinavian countries all have great charging infrastructure.

I could imagine they get paid like a car salesman, where they have a base salary and a bonus salary based on how much they sell, as an incentive to sell more. In that case OP would have wasted the employees time to a a degree.

Having no kids is also great if u want to fuck over the billionaire class. They can’t exploit people if there simply aren’t people left to exploit lol.

It prolly would have also happened with any other president, maybe just not that excessively. Billionaires will always have their way.

The explosion of the global population is also rather recent. Just 100 years ago global population was less than a quarter than it is today. And going back to the middle ages, earth didn’t even have half of a billion people. And resources for all those people need to come from somewhere, hard to do this without causing climate change.

Not really, prices for DDR4 “only” have doubled, whereas prices for DDR5 have quadrupled.

I swear those AI corpos could launch a nuke and get away with it smh

Buying used is per se not a bad idea, but the high RAM prices also mean more scammers, as it is now very profitable to scam people with fake RAM. And people need tech, so not a really an option to stop buying completely.

And I doubt prices would go down if consumers would stop buying or buying less RAM. The prices are high because the tech corporations are willing to buy RAM at basically any cost. Consumers are just a drop in the ocean at this point.
