Online shopping is retail but semantics… I guess the businesses that aren’t on your list are showing profits made by ghosts then.

No you don’t understand… I’ve spent the last 30 years investing in increasingly awful software companies to create “industry standards” and leaving these companies behind would require me to change and learn!!!

I’m unsure of what you’re arguing here. Walmart continues to grow, Doordash has healthy growth, McDonald’s is still growing despite price increases, subscriptions are growing, micro transactions, cbd companies… I can literally keep going. The need to scroll and consume has hit gen Z hard and despite no “disposable income” they’re somehow pushing profits up along with any other struggling person. These minor comforts are big business.

Retail consumption isn’t growing? Buddy…

What do you spend your money on? I hear this kind of thing from lots of kids and then discover that they’ve normalized spending on things like door dash and subscription services as being essential.

Do you often interact with young people?

For there to be no disposable income these corporations are somehow making money hand over fist at every level of commerce.

I work with college students and unfortunately regardless of the cause this seems to be true. Capitalism finally got its perfect consumer.

And no one is taking action. We should be burning this country to the ground everyday until these fascists are gone and our political system is razed and rebuilt. Holding a sign at a convenience protest or boycotting Paramount for a couple of weeks just doesn’t seem to be cutting it.

What’s that pseudo stat about highschool mean girls going on to become nurses?

Yup. Every time I see someone ask how he does XYZ it just pisses me off. We should have revolted already, but nope we’ll just keep asking how.

I’m not… Your username implies you’re a soccer fan.

What’s a dictator with no money?

… Because you are one?

Even worse are the rabid fans that pump money into it all.

Look into nginx proxy manager. Pretty easy to setup and deploy.

Give them a break. They’re not well educated and are doing the best they can.

You just proved their point…

Look… Trump will never pay for his crimes. There is an entire media empire built around articles like this teasing potential justice. It will not happen.
