I find it curious that when us little folks DON'T spend money the conservatives want us to believe its a lose; "costing the economy". We are expected to not ask the obvious question; lost to whom?
We still have the 12 bilion $ in our pockets,
Critical thinking is the real deficient in the world.
#democracy is more than voting!

12 billion a year lost by whom? Not the ones holding onto their functioning phones.
Billionaires push millions into abject poverty, then wonder where all their customers went.

"Lost". The entitlement of these greedy bastards. They consider our hypothetical money that we aren't spending theirs already.

The income from their labour is "lost" in the sense of "not being swiftly sucked into the coffers of billionaire megacorps".
Folks, this is capitalism and the billionaires donβt like it went consumers vote with their wallets. Billionaires hoard their riches yet they think saving $1500 is wrong?
Too bad
No one should be spending unnecessarily in this faltering economy, with the threat of layoffs and unemployment looming large. Younger people are doing the right thing. Save your hard earned incomes.

If these economic "experts" were the financial geniuses they like to cosplay as, it wouldn't need to be explained to them why people won't spend money they don't have. And no, extending people more credit was never the answer. Every dollar spent on interest is another dollar you don't have for goods and services, so that was only ever a short term fix that's now running out. If prices "can't" come down and wages "can't" go up, guess why the economy is faltering?
Cainmark Does Not Comply π² reshared this.
we always gotta ask "who" is losing it
I still remember when millennials were "killing" the diamond industry.
This feels like a manufactured story by X/Twitter.
Truth really hurts
Lost by whom? Not the younger people. Not the "economy" It's being "lost" to the oligarchs who expect to receive it as part of simply breathing. Fuck all of them.
I really dislike fallacy posts like Cory's here. It makes the assumption that 'Boomers' are a single group with a single point of view and that 'unusual_wales' is a spokesperson for that group. Neither assumption is true. Parents have always lectured theirs and other children to save more, unusual_whales is a bunch of crypto bros associated with polymarket. I would be surprise if the venn diagram of both groups had any intersection at all. 1/2
Billionaires are losing money because poor people are giving less to them, It's a disgrace.
It's not only young people NOW, George. I was denied my dreams decades ago.
lol getting priced out and blaming them for it.

Das yes. I was speaking with one "high tech" guy on discord, he was very pride that he has 3000$ video card. He was directly insulting me with violent / sleng words. like SYBAU (shut you bitch something...)
We ended up where two main server members stated that they are willing to kill lgbt people.
Finally, the server owner said me to shut up (SYBAU). I did so and left the server.

I don't read it that way.
Listen, folx, it's my fault. I've used the same phone since 2020. I tanked the economy.
It is not "the Boomers", It is the wealthiest and the billionaires who have been lecturing young people.
I wish people would understand talk like this is playing into creating more division between people so they can't organize and demand changes.
. The statement wasnβt exclusive to βdevicesβ. It sited spending that every generation spends on. It does not however present a comparative for the debate, as in they spend less in contrast to other generations? Or less than five years ago? Itβs a limited qoute with unlimited potential to exploit for good or ill. It also presents no context for why. The why is the discussion we need the have, other wise this is a βMountains out of Mole Hillsβ moment .
It is good to know that the young still kow how to save money. Successful economy has to be defined in a new way and includes ecology. But the rich wonΒ΄t like it.
I would've boosted this if it has a politics CW, I can't quote it because quoting is off, so I just made a link instead. I figured I'd give you a heads up that I'm running into this though.
I'd really prefer for it to either have the CW, or allow me to quote-boost it so I can add the CW if you prefer not adding the CW-- which I'd understand, but it's one of the other for me, and now it's just a link without preview instead, which is a shame.
To be very clear, the Oxford Economics report did not "blame" young people for making frugal choices. It states that these choices are occurring because of a weak job market for young people and rising housing costs. It was not recommending that young people go splurge.

Thoughts About Where We Stand Today...
LBJ made an incredibly prescient statement:
If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.
This whole setting people against one another - convincing voters that Diversity Equality and Inclusion is hurting them, that "Empathy is a sin"
Do not commit the sin of empathy.This snake is God's enemy and yours too. She hates God and his people. You need to properly hate in response.
She is not merely deceived but is a deceiver. Your eye shall not pity.
-- a tweet from Ben Garrett, a pastor at Refuge Church (Reformed Baptist) in Ogden, UT.
I genuinely can't even comprehend the amount of not just ignorance, not just willful ignorance, but prideful ignorance on display.
I would love to say "we're better than this" but clearly.. we are not... we (collectively) have shown who we are and it's not pretty... Those of us who have been ringing the alarm bells and warning have been told over and over that we were overreacting.
The road to fascism is paved with the bones of the marginalized and lined with people telling us we're overreacting.

in reply to Marius • • •@fere I've has LESS issues with printers on Linux thanks to the CUPS driver which works with basically every common consumer printer nowadays.
Office stuff I use OnlyOffice which is much better than LibreOffice IMO. Word is basically 1:1 but Excel is almost impossible to make 1:1 since desktop Excel uses its own language for advanced fuctions (Visual Code Basic) which not even the web version of excel uses, THAT uses a custom fork of javascript. So basically Excel is utterly fucked no matter what. (OnlyOffice uses normal vanilla javascript for its advanced scripting functions).

in reply to Marius • • •@Marius @Ren what is this βinstalling print driversβ you are talking about?
I've just bought a new printer, I've connected it to the local network (not even to the computer), and the print dialog was showing it, with full supports for its various features, no installation required
(I'm not sure what would happen for scanners: the one I have is just a printer, and the scanner I have is pretty old (and does require installing a couple of packages from the distribution))

Not only is the latter required less often but I also would guess that ignoring something you don't need is a lot easier for most users than to try and work around not being able to have something you do need

in reply to Ren • • •I always struggle with the conflict between the thoughts that computers are harder to operate than they should be, and that a lot of the complexity is the result of trying to hide the complexity, and that perhaps the problem is that people are compelled to use them who perhaps would be happier not using them.
Like, HTML was originally very simple, but the web became the universal interface, and now fewer people are likely to write a web page from scratch.
