All the groceries are expensive these days 😭🤣

I am a weirdo so I eat the same thing constantly and stores catch on super quickly and the increase the price on that item to match demand. Only there's not a large social demand, just me and my weird brain saying I can only eat this brand of this specific potato or whatever the safe food du jour is.

The routine is the price escalates until I have a temper tantrum in the store and cannot justify paying that much for the safe food and then I just go without eating for a few days until my body's like... Maybe go get this specific type of cheese or whatever and it all starts over again. I wish I wasn't like this but idk how to stop 😅🤣😭

But it's ok at the moment I have eggy in a basket and bacon enough for a few more days at least 🤣

Hmm. Eggs are usually a win - verrrry nutricious, all the amino acids and enough cholesterol to build a new animal. An egg a day keeps the doctor away. That thing about apples is a blatant lie...

Beef beats bacon in every category. They pump the bacon full of water to make it appear like more. I'd say if you're craving bacon, that probably means you need to eat more fat, and I don't think it matters which animal produced the fat.

I think the only purpose for veggies is to get the anti nutrients that piss off your gut biome and cause a bowel movement. The gut brain goes, "reeee! Get this stuff outta here!" Which means, in an inverted way, veggies are healthy.

Idk why I'm talking about this. No filter...

You're in good company!!!! I love beef, and it's actually recommended to me a lot at psy-gym because it's intensely grounding. So when I'm getting too in my head and off with the fairies they'll recommend taking a salt bath and eating some steak. Doctors too are usually highly recommending it as I'm anemic.

The problem for me with beef is that 98% of the time it's fantastic, but 2% of the time there's an unexpected texture that horrifies me enough that I avoid beef until people get pushy about me eating it again 🤣

Its how the bovine was treated. Happy cows = yummy. Factory cows is basically eating a concentration camp victim, and the texture is the horror of existence for them.

Kip Ashlynn 0mo ago 💬 1

I think that's a correct take. It's so sad how some cows are treated.

Tangentially related when I was in grad school in Ireland we were driving through the country for a hike or something, and we passed a field that was moderately crowded with cows. Like maybe twice as much as the usual concentration of cows on an Irish pasture, but still absolute luxury conditions compared to American farms.

All these young men who were economics students (stereotypically sociopaths 🤣) absolutely freaked out! Everyone in the car was shouting about how that wasn't right, someone called the council right then and there, it was the most outrage I've ever seen on behalf of animal welfare.

It was honestly heartwarming 🥰

Wow. Yeah econ students are psychos, but rational psychos who I can talk to, so I guess its fine. Still psychos.

I think my favorite thing is when the idea of game theory was torn apart because it was largely developed by running behavioral experiments on economics undergraduate males and they were mostly sociopaths so the idea of the "perfectly rational" response to many situations is literally heartless and insanely anti-social win-lose games.

When they expanded the behavior economics experiments it all fell apart because when assholes are playing dominance games the other people will just take their chips and stop interacting with the sociopaths. The most profitable strategy in a normal community is focusing on win-win strategies not win-lose strategies.

Watching that be clearly explained was absolutely hilarious as a woman who went back to school late in life after wearing the caretaker role often. Like, yes obviously that was never a realistic model of successful behavior in society and that so many people thought it was is the main reason we're in this shitty situation now 🤣

Caretaker role? I think that's rational. Maybe wishful thinking in the current paradigm, but this ain't gonna last. One way or another, property rights will return - either enforced by mobs, or enforced by nature, and if nature, either enforced by market reassertion or by genocide of the unpropertied. Or all of that at once. But in the end, debt will be wiped out, people will live on land, and they will keep their surplus and easily afford the care of their children. So be happy. Genocide and our own deaths will help the world return to normal. Kinda joking, but not entirely, have fun sorting it out :p

Makes me even sadder that I don't have property though 🤣

Scott ••• 0mo ago

Not owning property is so fiat.

Property = family.

Not property = genocide

These are economic maxims that belong on the same page as MR=MC

Kip Ashlynn 0mo ago 💬 1

Welp shit, dang. 😬 This is turning rapidly unfriendly. Some of us are the black sheep and shunned from family and also broke AF with no property.

I guess it must be nice for you to be drawing up lists that don't put yourself under "genocide". Good luck with that 👍

Comte de Sats Germain 0mo ago

What? No, I don't mean it like that... I mean the genocide that's happening right now. We're the victims. Its just being realistic about what this is.

Comte de Sats Germain 0mo ago

Kip? Kiiiiiiiiiiip! 😥

I don’t know what this means. Expand?

Comte de Sats Germain 0mo ago 💬 2

MR is marginal revenue, and MC is marginal cost. It means that over time the cost of producing additional units will become the same as the cost of producing the units, either because opening additional lines of production requires debt that has to be serviced or because competition drives down the price until there's no more delta. Both at sane time, really.

The property part means that you get to keep the fruits of your labor unencumbered. If you don't, then you're someone else's MR=MC, their marginal unit. Over time, people selling their labor will keep less and less delta. That's why it results in genocide and should be on the sane page in the textbooks.

I was a pain in the ass for my professors, and that's possibly why I've never found employment in economics. The incentive structure favors sycophants.

Comte de Sats Germain 0mo ago

For some reason my autocorrect favors "sane" over "same" and I never catch it in time.

What is the antidote?

Comte de Sats Germain 0mo ago 💬 1

Bitcoin.

Or rather bitcoin's the easy option. To do it fully, be like the bitcoiners of past cycles : start a business.

One good property begets more good property. That's occulted biblical stuff... Sin leads to no property ; health spills from one bucket to another.

Feels too easy.
