.world is known (largely due to the Luigi Mangione stuff) to have moderation that’s a bit more heavy handed and more similar to the sort of “corporate Internet”.
No real hate for them and they’ve indicated in the past that some of their actions are just to comply with their local laws. But if you’re looking for an older internet experience you’ll wanna move to a different instance.
Lotta moments like these adding up. Lotta times I myself just end up not buying a thing instead of getting it from better places, too. Between that, financial uncertainty with all the craziness lately, and folks just being broke, I have a feeling consumers are spending a lot less these days.
Yep, this is what’s going on. As is usual with Trump, there’s no actual ideology or goal, it’s all scam all the time. When you can unilaterally announce at any moment of any day that you are about to grenade the global economy, that’s going to have a guaranteed response from the markets. Predictable as the fuckin sunrise. Especially because everyone rightly knows Trump truly doesn’t give a shit about the consequences and absolutely might just do it.
Then he says some wildly different shit a different day, with again 100% predictable market movements (even announcing on Truth Social ahead of time to buy, which is truly beyond the pale), and everyone he knows gets even richer, again. That grift will wear out and stop working and he’ll switch to something else.
And again, and again, and again. All scam, all the time. I mean, plebes like us are aware of multiple concurrent grifts the guy is using the presidency for. Imagine what we don’t know about! It’s kleptocracy of the highest order.
Unrelated but are you seeing these posts from Friendica? How are you liking it?
Your comments here always tag the poster or commenter your replying to, which stands out on Lemmy, that’s why I noticed and why I’m asking :)
Can’t say I agree. $20 million plus in person visits = significant shits given.
What’s making you say that? I so badly want this to be true.
Lol who is downvoting, it’s not THAT hot of a take!
Might be too late for you now, but for everyone else reading, involve your state employment commission! I got all my back pay from an abusive restaurant owner (like a million years ago, apologies if these no longer exist or are just too dysfunctional to do anything anymore).
I was in high school, working like 50-60 hour weeks, and this lady thought it was fine to pay regular rates past 40. I sure didn’t! State employment commission didn’t either. Stole some water bottles full of Grey Goose on my way out, lol, then collected a cool few very well-earned buckaroos some months later.
Restaurant folded in a year. Turns out it was basically a gift from her successful husband anyway, lady was outrageous. As in, fuckin employees in the walk-in and stealing money from high school kids outrageous lol
Aaaaand just realized I’m old. I’m apparently the kinda guy who just tells stories about strangers to no one, from 20+ years ago, for no reason.
