"economics is so stupid. oh the costs go up so the price goes up so salaries go up and now everything is a bigger number but actual production is identical, nothing changed, you made it all up, it's all fake, economics isn't real

"like do you know what stock price means? literally nothing, it's just a number, what matters is if it goes up over time. u know what determines if it goes up? ALSO NOTHING!! NO ONE KNOWS!! IT'S FUCKING RANDOM!!

""it goes up when the company makes more money" nope! it SOMETIMES goes up when he company makes MORE money than was EXPECTED, but sometimes it goes down for no reason! people think other people think it'll go down so they sell and it does, or sometimes it doesn't!"

"It's pretty much an evolutionary environment that selects for chaotic nonsense, if anything makes too much sense then the locusts can (and will) descend and strip it to the bone. That might make for a fascinating experiment in a jar but not a very good way to run a society" -- ChastityEve (BeltedEve), 2022-05-20

An important milestone for everybody who uses/has used Pascal, C, PL/I, SPL, C++, Javascript, ... ... (it's a damn long list). Tomorrow is the 63rd anniversary of the first meeting of COBOL definition committee.]
