The whole world needs to turn on the wealthy. I don't want to be rich. I want to be able to buy more with the money I have. The wealthy don't even think about money anymore.

Time for a world revolution. Most people of the world want to be left alone to do their own thing. It's the wealthy that are always harassing people and trying to take control.

Don't forget turning the peasants against other peasants. That works awesome!

And "wealthy" isn't really it. The superrich do that. Being wealthy just means you don't need to overly worry about money. I'm wealthy, but I hate the system and how the world is doing. I'd prefer socialism, even if it meant to give up certain standards.

This. I make low six figures and support myself and my spouse on a single income. We’ve had to be careful in choosing where to live, how much house to buy and all that. I’m not baller, but I’m comfortable. Amenities are fine and I pay my bills without much thought. I’m working toward retirement.

That’s a reasonable amount of wealth for most. The problem is there are people with so much wealth it provides them the means to manipulate society in sweeping gestures.

  • Don’t like the news? buy the media outlet.
  • Want unfairly low taxes? Bribe a politician or 50 of them. (Oh, sorry, “lobby” them)
  • Politician is against you? Fully fund their opponent’s campaign and now they owe you.
  • Another company competing with you? Buy them.
  • etc.

Also, while insider trading is illegal, someone with this much wealth, influence, and power can’t help but have inside information just for existing in the circles they do, and wealth leads to greater wealth simply because there’s no way to regulate it reasonably.

I would say a good proportion are enablers, probably because they are thinking of themselves as "temporarily embarrassed future billionaires"

The people need to organize for that to happen... not likely in america let alone around the world.

Countries like Australia, Scotland, NZ, Germany have superior voting systems compared with the US "first past the post" system.

And everything it's done for me has been fucking shit.

Every fucking app. I want spell check, grammar check, fuck off the rest, if someone sends me ai emails that shit gets junked.

One time I was really high at an unfortunate time and the Gmail AI helped me with the time sensitive email my lawyer needed from me. Like, to actually sound like I speak English as a primary language and make the formatting cohesive instead of scattered.

That's bout it tho lol

So that means that HDDs will also stay expensive ):

I have a big choice here.

A. Bite the bullet and buy two more 8TB HDDs and complete my NAS as planned.

B. Wait and hope for lower prices.

C. Bite another bullet and run the NAS as a 24TB ZRAID1 instead of a 32TB ZRAID2.

Sigh....

Consider: graphics cards pricing.

Shit’s not coming back down to reasonable prices any time soon. At least not without major intervention on the part of governments.
