You forget the people pulling the strings are ramming the gas hard to make their fantasy utopia of pure misery happen as soon as possible.

I never said they wouldn't do it, but the great reset really hasn't been going as smoothly as was planned. Forcing this as an issue now so soon after the wound from the last time festers is still a bad idea though I don't doubt an attempt.

What the fuck are people going to do about it? Protest? Media silence and you get stomped on by the brown shirts.
Fight back underground? Feds will infiltrate you in no time flat.
Hide in the middle of nowhere? Waco-ed.
I agree completely the reset has been very bumpy, and more and more people are slowly waking up to the idea the WEF is actually pure evil but are unable to do anything. The WEF and their goons WILL ram the accelerator and ruin more and more, and the sheep who keep voting them into power will accept their new standard of living.

People aren't going to do anything, because as flawed as the western American hegemony may be, it's still better than every other tried system that has ever been tried.

I'm starting feel like we are in a terminal downward spiral where only fixes are to "kick the can" to the next future political parties.

Another example would be how much the current US admin has drained it's Strategic Petroleum Reserves to stabilize the prices these last years. Supposedly just to compensate the disruption that happened because of the Ukraine war. They will need to be refilled eventually.

Boy, I sure hope China or any other destabilizing big nation doesn't do anything like that this decade.

In the grand scheme of things, this is trivial, but it's a bit of a "chink in the armor" of Amazon Prime's chief shtick: fast free shipping (after the membership fee, of course). I received this from them this morning:



For comparison, Walmart+ gives free delivery (and not just on groceries) from local stores (at in-store walk-in prices) for orders over $35 and with a $2.99 fee below that.

Like I said, this is not a big deal IMHO (I've never thought unlimited free shipping via paid membership was a sustainable model anyway), but between this and Amazon announcing Amazon Smile's impending demise last week it's clear they're tightening the belt in important ways -- quietly reducing their philanthropy while saving face, and beginning the slow but inevitable process of shifting shipping and transit fees back onto the consumer again.

If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say the next "upcoming change to keep prices low" will be "throttling" -- Netflix style -- capping the number of free shipping purchases you can make in a given period (7-day sliding window, one calendar week/month, X times per year, etc.) before incurring regular shipping fees or slower shipping (or both).

I have to say I love/hate the doublespeak in the message. "This service fee will help keep prices low." If you're increasing fees but not lowering prices (the language is careful to say "keep prices low," not "help reduce prices further"), you're raising your prices. Such scummy slight-of-hand. Sad that so many people fall for it.

They recently started pushing some non-prime orders into a fake "processing" status, instantaneously after the purchase. That way the order can't be cancelled or changed in any way. And it still takes days to ship, they just lie and pretend they can't cancel it the whole time.

It's extra cunty considering what a fucking mess their website order page is these days. They're definitely trying to force people to use the phone app by playing payment method and shipping address roulette. Click anything you want, it doesn't fucking matter, you get what you get.

Nashville is going to course correct. People were moving there to get away from the Memphis decline, but califags and their peaceful protests showed that everybody local might as well just go back to the outskirts of Memphis. The only reason to choose Nashville over Memphis now is some hateful need to live in hideous bug hive architecture.

They've been doing that since the interwar era. We're just getting to the point where it's taking more and more energy to kick a can that's been gaining in size until we won't be able to anymore.

The market is still shit but its cooling off somewhat due to people not being able to buy homes.
Which, I remind you, is what the elites want. You unable to buy so Blackrock can gobble up everything, forcing you to become a renter

I saw somewhere that in Whitefish, MT that the average house cost is now 1 millon versus 440k pre-covid. It apparently isn't going down because people (read probably blackrock) are "investing". There's been a few articles blaming "remote workers" but I have severe doubts that is the root cause.

Bruh in my area (not self doxing) some delusional woman is selling her double wide trailer and tiny strip of land for $200,000.
People are severely overestimating the value of their land, and that retardation is what Blackrock preys on. "Oh these selfish people aren't buying your land? Here, WE'LL buy it"
