My comment was 10,000% sarcasm. Of course they don’t add jobs, trickledown economics is a complete crock of shit lol

Bahahaha I felt that I didn’t have to add /s to the end of that, I was obviously wrong…
My take? The issue I have with the mega rich is that they (generalization here) aren’t playing by the same rules as you or I. I don’t have an issue, with not paying all of your employees 6 figures. Different jobs, skills, training, and capabilities are (and should be) worth different amounts of money. It’s important that people with good ideas, or business capabilities have avenues of expanding, bettering themselves, and enjoying the fruits of their labor.
When you pay money to write rules that are favorable to you, you become the problem. Money in politics is the problem. Imo, that has enabled all of this. Don’t have good healthcare? Likely it was lobbied for because someone wanted more money. Stuck in prison? Oh yeah, money in politics got you there. Minimum wage hasn’t kept up with inflation? Something, something trickledown-bullshit, money in politics. Kids killed in school constantly? Oh you know…FUCKING MONEY IN POLITICS.
Favorable can be lobbying against health & safety or environmental regulations because it impacts your bottom line. It is donating to political campaigns for tax cuts (you know, fucking bribery). It’s blocking minimum wage hikes to secure your bottom line.
All of that said, how people sleep at night with absurd amounts of money and minimal charity is disgusting. I don’t fault someone for enjoying an oppulant lifestyle…I do fault someone for Scrooge McDucking and hoarding cash…for what? Bragging rights? Power?
TLDR: be gaddamn ethical about it.
That’s not a dog…it’s a raccoon! Oh my god, look at that raccoon wearing a hat!
But if they lose money they can’t invest it and create jobs.
The updates has been one of my biggest drivers, they have minimal bloateare, and, the phones are like the sweet spot of value/performance for what i do daily.
Good stuff, that’s not terrible at all, just the tinyest bit of preplanning - the phone hotspot is an excellent idea.
How have you found offline mode to work while traveling? I remember hearing early on it was a bear to use without wifi without extra steps.
I’m in the same boat as you. For me, the ability to be with other people not in front of my computer, would be my driver.
Upvote because I whole heartedly disagree with you.
Just rewatched this with my wife the other day, such a good movie!
This is the most interesting one I’ve read so far.
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe this year is the year I make the same jump. Really good, practical use of the tool.
Finding what makes you happy and focusing on making sure you’re unapologetically taking care of yourself is a good place to start.
This goes for work, relationships, hobbies, friends, whatever.
Can’t say I’ve always done a great job of it but for me it feels like it has made a difference the older I’ve gotten.
And of course, social media (including lemmy) is horrible for self confidence so don’t binge if you can help it.
Dedication. Hopefully you used a script lol
Got a nice eye roll out of this one from the wife. Mission accomplished.
What phone are you using? Pixel 4A
Are you happy with it? What are its best and worst qualities? Very happy with it. It’s still very quick - never felt a slowdown, it, was and still is cheap to buy, has a good enough camera, good enough battery life, love the back mounted finger print scanner, and is a good size.
Only real downside is it’s at the tail end of google’s security update support.
Which phones have you had previously? Which were the best and worst of the lot? Smart phones only - Moto X, nexus 4, nexus 6, essential phone, pixel 4a. Liked all of them, but I think moto x I liked the least & essential phone I liked the most.
How often do you upgrade to a new phone? When my previous one is broken or the OS gets too slow.
What other Android ecosystem devices do you have? Watches, headphones/earbuds, etc. Tablets is all.
Do you also use any Apple products, or are you Android all the way? (And/or Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, etc.) No apple products. I won’t pay premium prices and I’m pretty set on the Google eco system for better or for worse. Have a few windows OS computers either that I built or use for work.
Watching the last 3 weeks has been exciting. Dead subs springing to life & much more content. New subs every single day.
Wholesome AF. Enjoying the discussion.
