Business, Economics, and Taxes: Capitalism. Yay? >=(

You know I keep seeing headlines about how people can't afford things...yet apparently (according to CNN) Black Friday broke a one day sales record. So you can't afford groceries but can afford a big screen TV or PS5?

This country is so economically stupid. It is literally a talking point that things aren't affordable because jackarse in Idaho went and bought some 80000000 calorie burger at McDonalds (some specialty nonsense) and the meal cost $16. I paid slightly more than that for a turkey that fed 7 people with leftovers. How about you get out of your car and go inside of a store you fat stupid lazy phuck. Maybe you could work off some of those calories and help that mouth mouthbreathing problem you have. My lord this country is dumb.

Argentina will become the 33rd(?) nation to have its currency pegged to a foreign nation’s currency.

Per this, 66 countries peg to the dollar or dollarize their economy; while 25 do it with the Euro. This includes the petrodollar economies, where the currency is actually pegged to the denomination of oil which currently happens to be in dollars.

According to Reuters, this all kicked off due to a discovery in AI that could “threaten humanity”

Skynet?

Yeah, as soon as I hit submit I realized that wasn't the right word. It was able to determine boundaries on a path that leads to a state that we call "winning"

Yup. Which is a great machine, but it's not a Being. It's not even a cat.
