that's the thing that pisses me off: the tax often increases the perception of how much people are willing to spend. even if you remove or decrease the tax, the companies just inflate the price to fatten their margins. Rule #1 of capitalism: the consumer always loses.

yeah, she said "you people are next", and she said it to a specific person following an obviously politically motivated assassination. Very different from some X-itter anon reposting a vague anti-abortion slogan with no real attachments to something like a high-profile assassination.
I mean, stupidity and group think are just parts of having conversations in large groups as happens on these internet forums. I have not been impressed with the quality of intellect on Lemmy. But at least its not like Reddit where every mildly interesting subreddit has a minimum Karma count of like 30, and at least I'm not getting permabanned left and right over completely benign BS like saying I think Christianity is a net positive. I can say what I want here, and people can downvote it and I might even get mobbed... but at least I'm not being micromanaged.
Reddit sucks. They're the reason I came to Lemmy. They're absolute trash.
I know after surgeries I've been elated at the seeming reduction in pain, and all I do is rave about how great it is, but then it always comes back and I'm depressed and I just stop talking about it. wouldn't shock me if that was his case.
