Onion Future Wolf Gang @onionfuturewgkta.bsky.social · 01/04/2025It was always funny to me that even when the media tried to give the topic some balance they’d usually say something by like “inflation is high but it’s coming down”. It wasn’t *coming* down; it had already come down and was stable there for a year! 000 0

Onion Future Wolf Gang @onionfuturewgkta.bsky.social · 28/03/2025But hard to see significant cuts if long-term inflation expectations play out. Not an easy situation either way. Fed probably have to tune out a lot of the sentiment stuff and just look at the data as it comes in. 000 0

Onion Future Wolf Gang @onionfuturewgkta.bsky.social · 21/03/2025Related: lots on the right who pass the “How would you feel if you didn’t eat breakfast?” test not because they can grasp hypotheticals but because they read a post about it and learned the ‘smart person’ answer 000 0
Onion Future Wolf Gang @onionfuturewgkta.bsky.social · 21/03/2025I like the abundance stuff from an “it’s good policy and doing good policy is good” perspective, but politically I do think a lot of people need to consider the fact that the USA has unusually abundant housing among Anglosphere countries, and also has an unusually strong far-right movement. 020 0
Onion Future Wolf Gang @onionfuturewgkta.bsky.social · 11/03/2025Idk what’s so hard to understand about the idea that many people don’t need a checked bag, and so would choose a ticket without one included even if the price difference is only marginal. 000 0
Onion Future Wolf Gang @onionfuturewgkta.bsky.social · 11/03/2025I wouldn’t say that it’s running out of establishment figures, but rather Trump being the face of a movement for eight years led to the creation of a new establishment on the right modeled after his outward image. 000 0

Onion Future Wolf Gang @onionfuturewgkta.bsky.social · 01/03/2025I don’t think this case is an example of the Americanism that does happen elsewhere. Makes sense to me that the FT refers to football clubs the way they refer to other businesses. 000 0
Onion Future Wolf Gang @onionfuturewgkta.bsky.social · 22/02/2025Some people will hate this but sort of McMansionsy. Heavy use of recognizable elements from traditional architecture but across a range of “traditional” styles and not necessarily within the rules of how those elements are used within the style they came from. 010 0
Onion Future Wolf Gang @onionfuturewgkta.bsky.social · 01/02/2025A lot less fun but reminds me that the FT used to have a guy whose only job was to buy and put out a copy of the Evening Standard on every editor’s desk 020 0

Onion Future Wolf Gang @onionfuturewgkta.bsky.social · 20/01/2025If it was anyone else, even a more racist figure, then “weird stuff happens” is a plausible explanation. But with Musk, you know that he said “Wouldn’t it be so EPIC if I snuck a Nazi salute into the inauguration?” 010 0
