Yeah I think there was research that sad tears had increased stress hormones in them, making them a stress reliever as well... But honestly I'm only just going off my memory

Actually when we cry we release certain types of chemicals and endorphins which make us feel good. Kinda like your body is saying hey you're sad, this will cheer you up.

Apparently it's the next iteration of AI based antivirus where it uses smart algorithms to detect system behaviours and makes assessments on whether they're malicious or not

They actually don't know, but mathematically in order for them to build it within the historical time constraints, it had to have been done one block per minute.

Which some say is impossible with the technology they had, sparking conversation that there's more to the history of the pyramids than we think.

I find the Austrian School of Economics really interesting.

Particularly books written by American economist Murray Rothbard, who talks about free markets, government (particularly government intervention) and inflation.

There's a very short book you can read called "What has Government Done to Our Money?”

It's been a farse well before 2008. That's why it crashed. The fact that they decided to do QE was what made it worse. You had multiple QE programs after that, then you had lockdowns which not only injected more but stopped production. So now you have less goods and more money supply.

You have a debt crisis. Most businesses and corporations are swimming in debt. That money is paid to someone, investments, projects, jobs... Which eventually finds its way into the economy.

You have a housing problem. Your house prices have ballooned higher than 2008. You can't say that's corporation greed. That's simply the debt fuelled economy which leads to a devalued dollar.

And to your point, America didn't collectively agree, the government fucked it's people and will fuck them again purely because people just didn't know. That's why it's so important to know where to direct your anger. Corporations? Yeah fuck them but there's a root to all the problems. And that's monetary policy.

When you have cheap money (low interest rates), fractional reserve banking, and a government borrowing trillions of dollars, you inflate the amount of currency units being injected into the system. The more currency you have chasing the same amount of goods, the higher prices go.

There's definitely an element of greed as they will take advantage in certain areas but the underlying issue of inflation is those that I mentioned above.

The whole model they operate on is unsustainable. Either Blackrock and vanguard keep them afloat. Or they'll take on personal loans, issue out corporate debt. Or find ways to downscale, either job losses shrinkflation. Or raise prices. These are all desperate measures and are signs of an unsustainable company.

Losing the middle class (if that's their target market) is a company's biggest downfall.

And I feel that the little people will start to lose hope cause it feels like it doesn't matter... But it's similar to someone on credit card debt. You can only do it so long before it starts to catch up.
