That argument is stupid, because usually people need a reason to save for. Now rent is so high that people can barely save, and houses are so expensive that even if they do and get a credit with their staggering student debt, they’ll never be able to afford it.
So what do people do? they just enjoy the small things, because they know they’ll never have the big ones.
I’ve never heard of Fight club being a red flag. Probably it could be one if you’re overly obsessed with the movie, and express it with a focus on the toxic masculine parts of the movie, but in that case the issue is you being a red flag.
I think politics need to be interesting for people to vote. If the expected outcome is that everything only worsens a bit, you’ll never get people to vote for you. So by leaning right, she basically tried to appease the conservatives, but made progressives lose interest. I don’t think that anyone (or a substancial number) on the left tried to “own” her.
Hopefully there will be next elections, and hopefully there will be a party worthy of voting for it.
(Also disclaimer, I am not american, and am just objectively stating the obvious)
I am not blaming her for what is happening right now, I am blaming her for leaning too far right, and not being able to win with that.
Maybe Kamala shouldn’t have tried to take over the conservatives, and instead focussed on politics that matter. But I guess that worked out really good for her and the country!
That’s called a deportation though: https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/deportations
Looking up the source, they state: “At the turn of the century, a flat screen TV would cost around 17% of the median income of the time ($42,148). In the early aughts though, prices began to fall quickly. Today, a new TV will cost less than 1% of the U.S. median income ($54,132).”
So a Flat screen TV used to cost around $7165, and does now cost around $541, which is about 7.5% of the original value. That means a deflation by 92.5%.
