  • the issue is that margins have gone from 10 to 20% over pandemic, but if the inflation is gone, that means margins are sticky/real, so therefore by p/e metrics everything is fine, working class is fine with being exploited that much more. Now, consumer spending is tilting even more to upper quintile, but lower quintiles don’t seem to be doing much worse*. There is some shit with leverages inside banking system (that they are overleveraged) and consumer debt itself, but with how quickly fed propped up svb, i don’t think they are fatal or even a problem, they aren’t even doing qe yet

    *(vs spending and productivity, working hours have been rough for a long time+rent/medical expenses can be silently fucking everything out of sight of statistics), just roughly the same (inside amerikkka that is)




  • If you read wikipedia article, it reads like grinding teeth description of north korea in africa (like, those authoritarians have healthcare and vaccination programs, and education program, they are definitely up to shady stuff, also no free speech).

    But, they are more open to foreign capital, canadian mining ops are massive there, and they have very dodgy involvements militarily with ethiopia/tigray, and military service length seems just straight bizarre, so eh? Maybe enlightnened military dictatorship would fit as well, they don’t seem very developmentalist, as they don’t fix agriculture/urban split, compared to dprk, just kinda vibing







  • I meant jellyfin on xbox, they seem to have some version of it. If it works, then you are kinda golden, install jellyfin on pc, add a folder with movies as a library, and install clients where you need them, and it would work (if your ip on home network is fixed that is, would need some router fixing if not, cause it talks by ip:port to server (your pc)). Think jellyfin fixed sketchiest issues with transcoding, so it kinda not that involved on server side
