“ The #Scarcity ” scam, we’re not broke, we’re being robbed.

We are told the same story again and again. That #healthcare is too expensive. That #SocialSecurity is unsustainable. That we cannot afford to house the poor, raise wages, cancel student loan debt, or fix what is broken.

Across the entire #economy, money is not being reinvested in society. It is being funneled upward.”

The Scarcity Scam: We’re Not Broke. We’re Being Robbed.

if you do need new gear you have good reasons for screaming take my money, the price is not a huge barrier, it pays for itself maybe not in one job but eventually. when dc upgrades hit in waves prices are going to drop - supply will exceed pent up demand - that is my prediction, we are in a bubble #short squeeze #amortization #arb #pulls #refurb mkt #scarcity #urgency #fomo garbage

@ai6yr the big tech guy's are jumping into volcano of their own ego - predict economy will 10x in 10 years.

don't you think if you are talking to older folks they are going to be interested in longevity? it is all too weird but if he really ramps elec semi finally this time, 4 years late, then that is something;

mostly i am interested when mkts flip or asml starts selling more machines or something significant happens - more competition. They promise you the world but want a pound of flesh,

at some point open source crew is going to look in the mirror and run their own distributed inference and federated enclaves, repos, distributed models, not rely on big tech so much, the entire ai trend will hit smb sector,

I think quite a few people will go for local self hosted solutions - we will see how the mkt shakes out #hold the wheel#driving while blind #scarcity #urgency #fomo #holley efi

என்னைப் பிடித்த பைத்தியம் ஊரெல்லாம் பற்றிக் கொண்டு விட்டது

அன்றைக்கு திருவாளர் திரம்ப் பற்றி மாய்ந்து மாய்ந்து எழுதிக் கொண்டிருந்தபோது நீ என்ன அமெரிக்கனா, நீ அமெரிக்காவில் இருக்கிறாய் போலிருக்கிறது, என்றெல்லாம் வாயடைக்கச் செய்தவர்கள் இப்போது காஸ் சிலிண்டர் மீம்ஸ் போடுகிறார்கள், ஆட்டோ ஓட்டுகிறவர்கூட எப்ஸ்டீன் பைல்ஸ் பற்றி வாய் வலிக்க பேசுகிறார், இன்றைக்கு வரும் வழியில் பார்த்தால் பெட்ரோல் ஸ்டேஷன் ஒவ்வொன்றிலும் இலவசச் சேலை வாங்குவதற்கு நிற்பது போல் அப்படியொரு கூட்டம், இனி மசால் தோசை கிடைக்காது, ஓட்டல்கள் மூடப்படும் என்று எங்கே பார்த்தாலும் ஆளுக்கு ஆள் அச்சம். இதையெல்லாம் பார்த்தால் அழுவதா சிரிப்பதா என்று தெரியவில்லை, அப்போதே சொன்னார் பாரதியோ யாரோ, “காலத்துக்கு முன் ஓடிச் செல்பவனை பைத்தியக்காரன் என்று சொல்வார்கள்,” என்றோ என்னவோ — அது சரிதான் போலிருக்கிறது.

https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/mar/07/uk-stockpile-food-climate-shocks-war. Prof. Tim Lang is absolutely right - from the selfish POV of this country. What worries me, however, is the impact this #stockpiling would have on other countries, especially those with less #money. I fear, in the context of #food #resource #scarcity, caused by #climatechange, etc., it would be a beggar-my-neighbour #policy. WE would be alright - other, poorer, people wouldn't.

UK must stockpile food in readiness for climate shocks or war, expert warns

Prof Tim Lang says country produces far less food than it needs to feed population and is particularly vulnerable
