I’m not even sure what you’re taking about it. But from the worker/anti capitalist perspective, deflation is even worse. The working class, who holds huge amounts of debt like student loans, ends up paying more as the value of money decreases. Imagine all of your student debts increasing in real value over time, on top of the already existing interest rate.

You don’t see how it’s a bad thing for people to have zero incentive to put money back into the economy? Everyone hoarding money and trying to spend as little as possible will surely have good results!

Do you actually think that 100% a tax burden will always fall on consumers?

It literally doesn’t. The price is the same either way. Reduced demand from the higher tax makes it so producers will lower prices. This is really basic microeconomics.

From Wikipedia: “tax burden does not depend on where the revenue is collected, but on the price elasticity of demand and price elasticity of supply”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_incidence

It doesn’t make a difference which side you tax. If consumers are taxed then corporations will still feel it through reduced demand for their product. If corporations are taxed, consumers will still feel it through increased prices. The tax burden does not depend on who is taxed, but rather how elastic supply and demand are.

Thanks!

What’s the channel if you don’t mind sharing?

I’m liking it a lot but I really hope the dev adds 6 and 12 hour sort.

So cute, what are their names??

Some really promising additions here. I especially like the pedestrian roads, which hopefully means we will be able to build less car-centric cities this time around. Also the roundabouts look great.

Honestly I don’t think we will see much of a swing. The people who are fed up with it will move to platforms like this while the vast majority will remain on sites like Reddit or twitter. It’s the same with adblockers, most people don’t bother with them because they just don’t care. That said, I don’t see anything wrong with decentralized sites like lemmy staying on the smaller side, it draws less attention from the same people who have ruined the larger sites.

Watched the first couple episodes and got tired of waiting so I read the first book. Would recommend to anyone who’s enjoying the show, it’s pretty good

Fascinating to watch the internet get worse and worse in real time. It seems enshitification is inevitable for any big and centralized website

Fair warning, cycling in central Amsterdam is a total shitshow. There’s tourists everywhere who have no idea how bike paths work, so you have to be paying close attention the whole time not to hit anyone. That said, I’ve been living in the Netherlands for the past few months and it has really been fantastic cycling everywhere, once you get out of the touristy old-town areas the infrastructure is just amazing. Enjoy your trip!
