True, companies have so much money. Where that's money going! Paying off "creative accounting debt" and stock buybacks, which make shareholders happy but undermine the economy in the long run.
In heath care, education, etc. It is deliberate. Otherwise, it is due to the natural change in the economy. Prices will always rise as more money is in the country. In a theoretical free market, inflation always exists due to the money supply as more money is required. The Fed is tampering with the money supply to induce growth. Growth in money supply = inflation in a vacuum.
For me, it’s How to Lie With Statitics. It opened my eyes to how much lies are in numbers. Also, another good one is 1984. It really made me think about my online life depending so much on Google.
Jim Crow laws, blackballing, and redlining. You ant allowed to work in certain jobs, if you speak out (see Kapernick), no job for you! And you can’t even live within reasonable distance of work!
And the comments. How to not worry in one paragraph. If you can’t control, don’t worry. If you can, do something! Also, imagine if you are blind and walk around for 5 minutes with your eyes closed. Imagine if you are permanently blind. How will it be like to live as that forever! Open your eyes. You have the power of sight! More than you will ever need to survive! Edit: Why the downvotes?
True, I never show my real name in any public platform unless it's my "official" one, which is whitewashed. I go through pseudonymous accounts every 2 years for my privacy. We already do have social credit, it's called your credit score. Self-deception is a powerful force. Everybody rise up to the polls! Oh wait, it's both sides that are abetting this crap. Just vote with the closest to freedom (including a social safety net) and don't worry, cause you can't control it.
Then spying, tracking, censorship of "offensive" or "unpatriotic" words depending on your political side for little gain of the little people. Of course, the state won't do anything to actually reduce mass shooting, they profit of fear and hate. History doesn't repeat, it is remixed.
Social Security, dark web crackers, and crappy online forgotten passwords websites want to know your location. I jest. But seriously, DOB is extremely valuable, which is why I never use my real one online except for government stuff like that.
Yep, besides, why not just watch the OG Star Trek reruns (if they still do that, I don’t really follow Star Trek anymore) or pirate if the app is so crappy? And OTA.
Clickbait aside, this guide is really solid. Though I will warn newbies that it will take YEARS of 1 hour practice a day (in the editor and tutorial), that you will have to build stuff (not tutorials), that it isn’t easy money, and that language doesn’t matter if you pick the top 10. Languages are tools, so pick the best for what you wanna do and do it! You will have to build stuff at one point outside of websites with an blank screen, so get to it right now. Also, programming requires focus, calm manner, patience, and most of all, time. You can get started rn, so do it for at least 30 minutes and build stuff!
Edit: Bonus points if you know how to Google properly (don’t say the PC is not working, say bootloop issue Windows 10 October update), know that the community can be jerks, now how to navigate PowerShell/UNIX terminal (UNiX > PowerShell though powershell is decent), and here’s a bunch of free coding books.
