Not just the constant exposure but the failure of traditional media to maintain their influence leads to people being in echo chambers.

Yup. People hate when it’s the easy answer but there’s no huge conspiracy. Traditional economists were terrified about the potential shift at the fed and Trump picked an establishment guy. The dollar got stronger, while crypto, gold, and silver crashed.

The other part here is that crypto had a decent bump when Trump won, but before he took office. Investors were excited about him as a pro-crypto president

I can’t tell if you’re farming downvotes or actually mad lol

For the latter part, it very much depends on the state and the disability.

In terms of helping, there are a few scenarios. First, forced psychiatric hospitalization. Suddenly, it’s no longer a “secret” problem with the brother. It’s known and he’d have a record in a court system and medical records. Extremely unlikely, but not impossible, is removing OP to a stable program. People with disabilities who have confirmed cases of abuse jump to the top of those waitlists. There are also many “light” versions of those scenarios that still make things, even slightly, better.

You’d be surprised at the number of times I thought it would be obvious and it wasn’t. In fact, it seemed pretty rare that people could figure it out. And even when they did, it was just their hunch, you can never know for sure who reported you.

Ouch, someone is mad that I made a joke.

Come on, it’s just moving, what could it cost? ~~All your friends and possessions?~~ $10?

Any therapist or licensed professional (doctor, social workers, etc) will have to report something if it’s a credible threat to someone’s life. If your brother has homicidal ideations and makes threats, an investigation might not be terrible. Unless he literally never leaves the house and you are the only person that would know he’s ever made a threat, then your family will probably never know that you have anything to do with this. Strangers call the cops when they hear shit. If he’s loud, it could be a neighbor. Unless he’s agoraphobic, it could be anyone in your town who reported something weird.

“Why can’t you just leave and buy a house or something” is the most Lucille Bluth question ever. You didn’t have to dignify such a stupid question with an answer. This isn’t your fault.

As someone who was a mandated reporter and made a sad amount of reports, the investigators aren’t idiots. They don’t knock on your door and say “hi, your kid reported that you hit them!” They know the risk and it is literally their entire life/job to avoid making situations worse.

I don’t think this is a thing. The court could reject you if you’re suspicious, but I don’t think there are laws saying “you need a blood relationship to post bail for someone”

It’s not. It’s off topic and should be deleted

Edit: can we please stop upvoting everything that insults Reddit? If you are defined by hating your ex, you need a new personality.

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

It doesn’t. It means the dollar is strong and people no longer want to invest in “alternatives”.

Unless you have a bunch of gold, then yeah… it affects you lol

Edit: also, gold doesn’t really have a “market cap”. We would need to know exactly the amount of gold on our planet to calculate a market cap
