That is exceptionally clownish, I agree.
But the etiology of that is that they are degrowthers; they care more about water than people. In fact, they don’t give a crap about people at all.
Cessional Vibe
All the clown-ass economists are like “vibecession” and “everyone is doing amazing, they are just lying and deluded about economic problems!” Meanwhile, a hamburger at a counter-serve restaurant that cost $8 before the pandemic is now $17.
And I’m fucking rich! So if it bothers me, it’s got to be absolutely brutal on those who are barely making it. Because even if they aren’t buying hamburgers in restaurants, they still are getting hit with those high grocery prices.
And that’s why people report bad economic sentiments.
Slivers

It’s hilarious to watch women complain about this. Even women who are at some point in their lives are relatively forward only experience an extremely tiny sliver of the rejection men experience.
Also, you’d have better success as a woman approaching someone when you’re not all teenagers. That would go a lot better with 28-year-old men than 15-year-old boys.
Not like I kept an exact count, but I guess I’ve been rejected by a woman 3,000-5,000 times in my life. And had maybe ~100 successes (got the number, got a date, had sex, whatever). Let’s say 4,000 approaches in whatever form with 100 successes. So that’s a 2.5% success rate. I think that’s actually probably better than average, where it’s more like ~1%. That’s because I am extremely verbally fluent and that gives me an advantage.
But still, 2.5%! That’s not great. And that comes with a lot of danger of reputational damage and women who attempt to ruin your life for merely asking them out.
Women don’t know shit about rejection.

Minnesota wrong-way driver blames her dog for deadly head-on crash
It’s almost always a mistake to let the dog drive.
However, it’s always a mistake to let the cat take the wheel.
Munich Protocol
Women are paying an extremely large price in all the countries that allowed in masses of feral third worlders. As I’ve mentioned before even one of my friends did, though luckily she was not assaulted. However, she was forced to leave her much-loved city of Munich for Switzerland to get away from the savages who constantly harassed her.
After they gang-raped a German woman right outside her apartment window, she was done. She moved three weeks later, never to return.
Remigration now.
Feminism Fallen
Too much of modern feminism has become about punishing undesirable men for merely being attracted to women, and penalizing attractive women just for being appealing.
Which is kind of crazy, when you think about it.
They are primed to go full Islam soon I guess.
Taxation Without Dispensation

Exactly. Property taxes are lower in California than Texas, but no matter what we pay ~$800 a month just to live here.
And we have no mortgage. Seems a bit crazy at times considering how little we get for those taxes.

If it had merely kept pace with inflation since 2012, that $187,000 home would be goingย for $271,000 today.
Instead, it is now going for $514,000 more than that, which is roughly a 189% above-inflation increase. But, yeah, sure the avocado toast is why millennials can’t buy homes.

Not sure if the original tweet is a joke, but $200,000 in 1881 is around $8 million now.
Not so “simple” at all. And a house like that back in 1881 would’ve been expected to have 4-6 servants doing things.
