Please Saar, can you explain how much more productive you are today than you were in the 1970s and how your surplus production is being stolen?
>The 2008 subprime financial crisis.
How many spec homes were you under-water on back then? That was almost 20 years ago and I didn't notice any "crisis". I was traveling all around the country, saving, buying nice toys, and golfing 5-6 days a week.
Otherwise, you picked a couple cherries over a 20 year time frame to prove something, but meanwhile my investments in index funds have done great, I live better and work less than ever, and if something happened to me I could go the rest of my days in modest comfort without ever having to work again if needed.
>businesses that have been around for 40 years closed during Covid while Amazon and the like make more money than ever.
This is called the "business lifecycle", and I imagine Sears will be a case study in business classes for decades to come. They had over a century of being basically Amazon and somehow completely missed that the internet is the modern mail order catalog. Even WalMart is struggling to get a piece and they were quite revolutionary in their day with their logistics model.
I've got to get to work now, I've got people who depend on me. Enjoy the rest of your day circle jerking with other losers in demoralization slide threads though, I'll see you tomorrow.
