    Cuz these economists look at wealth in aggregate, but look at behavior by market segment.

    Asset prices have been skyrocketing. That only really helps people who have assets, but it still brings up the average enough to make the economy look it’s doing great overall even despite the consumer price inflation.

    So if you see that young adults are moving back in with their parents while living in an economy that is, in aggregate, “the strongest it’s ever been”… you can only explain it as a matter of preference.

    Something I did after getting married but wish I’d done all along:

    Two different accounts. (Three if married.) One for income and non-discretionary spending. One (per person) for “allowance”, which gets a set amount transferred from the main account every week.

    Keeps your essentials partitioned from the fun stuff, which keeps the essentials safe and the fun guilt-free. And it allows you to have a steady stream of allowance even if you only get a paycheck monthly or biweekly.

    Even if you assume those LARPers are willing to sacrifice themselves in bloody revolution for the good of the common folk…

    Who do you think suffers most when civil war disrupts supply chains, essential services, and the legal system?

    It’s the dang common folk they’re supposedly dying to protect!


  • I need help finding a source, cuz there are so many fluff articles about medical AI out there…

    I recall that one of the medical AIs that the cancer VC gremlins have been hyping turned out to have horribly biased training data. They had scans of cancer vs. not-cancer, but they were from completely different models of scanners. So instead of being calibrated to identify cancer, it became calibrated to identify what model of scanner took the scan.
