@mangostabipolar @OmniFinn At one point I qualified for it bc I was furloughed but lost it after a week bc I didn’t set up an account with specific jobs portal and apply for jobs through that.

@mangostabipolar @OmniFinn American with three jobs here, we’re entitled to nothing. One of my jobs offers PTO, which I’ve used to cover shifts at my other jobs.
We technically have unemployment benefits, but not really. In practice most people out work either don’t qualify to get it or quickly lose it.

Why should anyone get paid for nothing?

@Mr_25000_Volts @YIMBYLAND Bad deal, just put yourself through school and become a certified Ferrari mechanic. Then you can DIY for less, even after the cost of school
English
@YIMBYLAND FYI, the battery of the LaFerrari was only ~16kWh and costs ~$200.000 to replace (and it tends to fail after 10 years).

I'm curious to see how much they will charge for the Luce 122kWh battery 😅

@ggetzie @Ewan_C_Forbes People who want to live in a house that kinda looks like it belongs in Paris but without all the walkable restaurants, stores, shops, pubs, galleries, cafes, museums, groceries, libraries, theaters, and thirds spaces in general.
They’re willing to pay Paris prices too

@Ewan_C_Forbes He literally said he was trying to understand who it’s for.

They aren't being built for you, which is why you've struggled to comprehend.

I see these neighborhoods being built in Texas and I’m trying to figure out who in their right mind would buy a mansion with zero lot lines. Like, you could do a handshake through your kitchen window. Insane! Please make it make sense.

@jasonc_nc @StatisticUrban Since I know what the big movers are (probably) gonna do before they make their moves, I could buy OTM $VIXY calls today and make bank tomorrow at open. I’m not gonna do that, but it’s a better bet than it should be.
English
@jasonc_nc @StatisticUrban This can be exploited for alpha in options markets
For instance, three of the biggest/best performing algorithms that I plagiarized from hedge funds agree that VIX is due for a spike and if trends hold, they’re gonna buy big with leverage later today.

It’s clear that the lefties attacking people for posting economic data are just coping.
They can't dispute evidence on the merits, so they do the Trumpian “the numbers are fake because I don’t like what they show” thing.
It’s the left-wing version of MAGA denying crime data.

@TexasFrenZ Consumer sentiment literally doesn’t matter
The trading bots and hedge funds are all in agreement that their lines will go up regardless of real world supply/demand issues or consumer sentiment

@jasonc_nc @StatisticUrban I call it Dead Market Theory Algorithmic manipulation, trading bots like mine, and institutional powers have all colluded, both intentionally and unintentionally, to replace organic supply and demand. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

It's just the third worldification of the American economy
The middle class has been mostly genocided out of existence. Terminal underemployment of college grads. You are either rich enough not to worry about it or you are with the rest of the 99.99% getting fucked by inflation

It’s not likely to get much bigger, though, they’re starting to approach diminishing returns in laying new lines. They’re refocusing on adding capacity where needed
