@byhess after 10 minutes of seeing big issues - suddenly 90% (not 100%) of the problems seem to have gone - so maybe you are ‘on it’?

@combatdavey fair cop - but at same time I do see Reid as one of the good guys - so the flagging was more along the lines of “wait - even the ‘good guys’ speak rubbish” - or ‘whatevs’. At time of posting I didn’t realise that it was that old …on the click through I provided, the date was April 2nd this year .. under ‘Fortune’.
I guess that should have been my clue - a name that when younger I associated with respectable journalism and today ‘clickbait central’. Let’s call it a 🔗🎵 A Momentary Lapse of Reason
@lmika thank you - did not know about that - kinda works on a mac - and I got one out - but is unlikely to easily fit into my workflow.
Would be really cool of AlbumWhale did some kind of extract to deliver something similar.
// @bjhess ?
@lmika ok - just started a new albumwhale list - so HOW did you get your post so gosh darn pretty?
@lex so they can wring even more money out of the user. (sic)
@peterw 🥳
I guess what I’m saying is that your 401k may not look great tomorrow morning but the real question should be what are you doing now to make it to age 75? What are you able to leave behind a bit better than when you got it.
.. is under normal - even abnormal - circumstances good advice - but I believe we are in unprecedented times and territory.
“Expect the unexpected they say.”
None of this was unexpected - we were told very clearly.
The only part of that which has not yet played out is the two years bit … which frankly - I have no idea about - and neither does anyone else.
But if all this is expected - what will be uneexpected?
The opposition to whatever is going on needs to get out of the BAU mindset such as ‘this will be all over in 4 years’ and playing by the rules because it won’t if we do nothing now.
It is quite clear that ‘we the people are pissed and protesting’ - but the people in power are essentially doing nothing and if that continues and social security and medicare/caid is destroyed as the markets collapse and 401Ks disappear out the window - I am unclear how the vast majority of of people will make it over the next couple of years - much less till 75.
Sorry to be depressive - and maybe I am coming across as a conspiracy nut job - but I see nothing happening to stop this suite of nut jobs.
@drwalt interesting - Doc Searls put something out today which was nothing about this and yet there is an interesting Venn diagram .. I need to extract it and publish.
