So all this time, the home shopping network (HSN) has been blatantly telegraphing hate!

So is it blessed anime, or holy anime?

Email is fundamentally broken, we need to start over.

Ironically, the answer might simply and sadly be chatgpt output.

Taxation doesn’t take into account the fact that wages are stagnant, but corporations have posted record profits

Something akin to this?

I would generally agree that taxation as we normally use the term may not be adequate to describe this great squeezing effect, unless you stretch the definition of tax to include inflation too, as a hidden pervasive tax that is invisibly collecting value from everyone.

Small businesses are impacted as well, due to the nature of supply chains, most people cannot create something from nothing.

Supply chains have to start somewhere, and I tend to favor and think of bottom-up solutions very near people creating value from nothing to compete with the mega-corps (washing cars, mowing lawns, sewing, carpentry, metal-working, programming, gardening)… there is probably more business opportunities within the reach of the individual than we are trained to believe, and I wonder how much we automatically lose once we assume that we must be an employee.

That doesn’t seem like a non-sequitor or people arguing past eachother like some kind of verbal 4-D chess match, typed in this case.

Absolutely agree, it is way more disruptive than it could possibly be of strategic value, especially in verbal conversation. I would hazard to say it has never been useful outside of my family.

It seems to me that you’re saying you assume what the other person might say, then you reply to that assumption.

I’m sure I do that too, but to some degree one must make assumptions about what others are saying, as that is the nature of natural language communication.

Can you clarify?

An example would probably be best, but I skimmed over this thread’s post and did not see an obvious example, so probably not in a time-effective manner… this aside might barely qualify (maybe when I mentioned this tendency I thought you were reacting to something not on this thread), or maybe my initial post could be an example (as I unconsciously skipped over the obvious answers of “inflation” and “greed” which are positions I knew others would consider and take, and therefor have little value in me harping on).
