  2. G. Elliott Morris and David Nir ask, "Why are Americans still furious about high prices?" Their analysis reveals consumer sentiment may not recover until 2030 or later, with excess inflation potentially lingering until 2029. Bold policy action is essential, not patience.

    * #enshittification
    * #ai progress stifling attractive career paths

  28. You aren't in poverty, your vibes are just off.

    It couldn't possibly be late stage capitalism!

    Rich people are still making money so everything's fine.
