Yeah exactly, housing is used as a value storage for large players when they need to use a generic asset in between investments. It’s relatively safe but its value is passive, it is driven by the rest of the market. Plus it’s great for money laundering and bribing politicians or officials. So all this manipulation raises the prices for everyone, and most people don’t benefit from it. It’s just so greedy and abusive.

prototact@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•Disney Didn't Expect What Happened After Jimmy Kimmel's Cancellation - & Is Scrambling To Fix ItEnglish8·20 days agoIf as a result people start gaining some consumer intelligence and instead of supporting the technofascist they start buying small and independent that would make this whole thing worth it.
prototact@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•JD Vance suggests trans people pose a “domestic terrorist threat” & FBI plans to target trans people - LGBTQ NationEnglish12·21 days agoThis guy is such a slob and a loser. A lazy-do-nothing. Seriously, if he was not vice president, any reasonable person would tell him to shut up about his petty thoughts and go do something useful. and we have to listen to his BS. Goddamit.

prototact@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•Obama says the US is at ‘an inflection point’ after Kirk’s killing and Trump has divided the countryEnglish5·23 days agoYes they probably decided the liberals had gone too far, but also he saved the banks instead of protecting the populace and now we got full blown out populism
prototact@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•Obama says the US is at ‘an inflection point’ after Kirk’s killing and Trump has divided the countryEnglish331·23 days agoThe inflection point was during his presidency. Now is the race to the bottom.

I have had Linux for more than a year now, a universal blue managed one, I have forgotten what updates are even. Games play great, coding is super easy. Windows only exist because consumers are ignorant, but that can be said about most of capitalism.
prototact@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•"Death Cult": RFK Jr. Sends CDC Spiraling, Leading to Wave of ResignationsEnglish2·1 month agoNo they should let them do it themselves. The fascists want the capable people to do the work they want them to do. The best way is to let them handle it themselves so the system can collapse asap and they are to blame. if you play ball with them you are just supporting the normalization.
prototact@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft's Windows lead says the next version of Windows will be "more ambient, pervasive, and multi-modal" as AI redefines the desktop interfaceEnglish40·2 months agoIt’s funny cause “ambient, pervasive, multi-modal” are all words used when envisioning the future applications of AI, so you know some marketing smuck glanced over the literature (or probably asked an AI to do so for him) and chose them with little care as to how the new Windows will embody these qualities. I am so tired of salesmen,marketing,word salads and entrepreneurship.
prototact@lemmy.ziptopolitics @lemmy.world•Trump Says He 'Probably' Won't Run For President AgainEnglish3·2 months agoIf he does leave office, it’s possible many people will go after him if they can. I know the SCOTUS decided the president can do whatever he wants with legal impunity, but I am sure he can still be dragged into a lot of legal battles given the extravagant number and level of crimes he is committing on a weekly basis. Why put himself through that in his last few years when he can just stay on top and shit on everybody, enjoying himself with our suffering? This guy is all in, he has made a new playbook for the oligarchy, and he is never going back unless the rest of the oligarchs decide he is a liability. Even then, he wont give up easily. My guess is he will leave the White House in a coffin (either old age or hanged by a mob)
prototact@lemmy.ziptopolitics @lemmy.world•This is the most panicked Republicans have been in yearsEnglish28·2 months agoThere is a basic assumption in most news articles, that most of voters are somehow misguided and that with the right information they will eventually change their minds. In the case of MAGA and adjacent Republicans, we are talking about people that have been bred by the system to respond to certain kind of messaging and little else. They are mentally handicapped by the system, they do not possess the tools to process what is happening and even their basic humanity has been sabotaged. The solution is not to convince them to change their vote, but to discourage them from taking any actions. This is what the system does with progressives, they discourage them and convince them that politics are useless. It’s time this is used against the lobotomized strongest minority.

It is technically true. Israel without a defense system would be destroyed very quickly, becoming like Gaza and unable to do anything. But don’t mask this as if this would somehow bring peace in any way other than that after a complete nuclear holocaust, the earth would be peaceful. Just say you want Israel to be wiped off from the map.

prototact@lemmy.ziptopolitics @lemmy.world•Elon Musk says he's formed the 'America Party.' Trump says he's gone 'off the rails.'English1·3 months agoThe only explanation for this is that Trump basically milked Musk’s popularity with dumb people and kept him around until Musk was no longer useful. Musk on the other hand thought he was going to control Trump to be a shadow president on his crazy drug-induced power trip but got a reality check and now his ego is hurt and is making a fuss. I doubt this will gain any traction, to build a political party is extremely expensive, Reps and Dems have hundreds of rich people behind them for greasing the wheels, plus brand recognizability and organized people and community presence. The most we can tell from this is that billionaires still need a political front to push their agenda and see how many times can Musk fail without losing his fortune.
prototact@lemmy.ziptopolitics @lemmy.world•Netanyahu surprises Trump with formal Nobel Peace Prize nominationEnglish9·3 months agoIf they do and Trump gets it, we know how far the far right has compromised Europe. It’s a coup in slow motion so it’s good to know at which point we are right now.
prototact@lemmy.ziptopolitics @lemmy.world•Marjorie Taylor Greene Announces Bill To Tackle 'Weather Modification'English4·3 months agoAt this point she is trolling with legislation, this is not even legislation for financial profit, she is just doing it to fuck with the minds of people that support green energy transition against climate change. Pure malicious glee. I hope she faces mob justice at this point.
Typical tech-bro bait for cultivating the cult of worship that allows billionaires to extract profit from compliant drones and consumers. Just because he is rich we have to listen to every bs statement his says cause it can have consequences one way or the other. People should stop buying from Amazon yesterday. It’s really that simple.
