Yeah Saturday is filled with hope and possibility. Sunday you're just awaiting your inevitable doom.

For one, they'll fight tooth and nail not replace things. When there is absolutely no way that heater can be patched up and run a little longer they'll replace it with the cheapest heater possible using the cheapest HVAC guy possible.

When buying a house people tell you to make sure the roof is in good condition because that'll be expensive to replace. What they don't tell you is that is all the other things that you may need to replace and how expensive they are. Fence, paint, siding, water heater, washer/dryer, AC, heater, kitchen appliances, etc. Some this might show up in the inspection report, but it's hard to get a good idea of what it'll cost beforehand. Also your realtor will have an incentive to downplay any problems to get the deal done.

So are less people libs now in China? Are the libs still a threat to take over power?

I have a friend from China who's a lib and he's probably one of the most racist people I know (specifically against Chinese people). Just the other day he said Chinese people have never invented anything and that good inventions can only come from the US or Europe. He also wants to look, sound, and dress like an Ivy-league country club dude. Dude regularly reminds me of a Chinese Uncle Ruckus. Is that kind of self-hating common or is it mostly because he's from a rich family?

He made a career convincing investors to buy into his biotech startup. Insincere bullshitting is the name of the game there.

keep the rich people in charge which is what it was designed to do

Under capitalism didn't the monarchs that were formally in charge lose power to the new capitalists though? For one, King George losing the colonies. I'm guessing a lot of the founding fathers probably were descended from feudal lords though.

Have to keep the profits increasing every quarter, otherwise shareholders will sell and buy your competitors and line go down. The article talks a little about how a lot of the streaming platforms have raised prices this year since right now shareholders want to see more profit instead of growth with interest rates up.
