Because capitalism.

I don’t think anyone was suggesting otherwise.

“THIS JUST IN!, credit cards offer reward points to soften the effects of data mining on individuals. It highlights the advantages of using custom lubricant on the broomsticks they are fucking you in the ass with.”

Some say it feels nice.

Everything you’ve proposed as an easy fix would not apply to the vast majority of end users; the target audience.

It was triggered today… and has had only two false positives since 1959.

What most people don’t know is that the economist who coined the term, Claudia Sahm, proposed this rule as a way to warn governments to allow them to preemptively send out stimulus to their population lol.

The Sahm rule originates from a chapter in the Brookings Institution's report on the use of fiscal policy to stabilize the economy during recessions.

(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahm_Rule#cite_note-2)The chapter, written by Sahm, proposes fiscal policy to automatically send stabilizing payments to citizens to boost economic well-being. Instead of relying on human intuition to determine when such payments should be sent, Sahm outlines a condition to trigger the payments.

(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahm_Rule#cite_note-:1-3) The trigger suggested indicates an economy beginning a recession and is now known as the Sahm rule. The Sahm rule recession indicator was also featured early in a Goldman Sachs U.S. economic research report by economist William C. Dudley with a recommended trigger of 0.33%

(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahm_Rule#cite_note-4) (the nowadays more commonly used rule triggers a recession signal when the Sahm metric is crossing above 0.5%).

Perfectly reasonable response from a responsible pet owner.

There are plenty of arguments to be had without manufacturing them. This is just one persons poor attempt at trolling? lol either they are a loser or just not very intelligent. Likely both, but everything is a spectrum.

Nothing you’ve said makes sense or is relevant.

Did it sound right in your head before you typed it? Lol

I thought this was satire…but nope, lol.

There really are people just as insufferable as you.

As dismissive your response is…Wishing away the practical aspects of what I said, by looking at everything from an ideal perspective, doesn’t change real world application and results.

I could likely solve many world problems if human nature wasn’t a factor.
