Like why some apartments allow no tenants with pets. Living in an apartment building, some tenants around me absolutely fucking suck with owning pets. Allowing them to bark, wrestle and play loudly, letting them take dumps everywhere and not picking it up. People actually running with their pets with no leashes when leashes are required.

Yeah I side more with apartment offices that have balls to say no pets. Nobody wants the noise.

I didn't understand economy before, but now I realize it's because it's basically the world's biggest Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy, for a lack of a better way to say it.

Yep it's mainly because the BS repeated on the media all the time is cherry picked stuff for self serving media owners.

They won't explain the only way they think worth of regulating inflation is making salaries less and unemployment high.

Or why some sectors are highly subsidized but there's no money left for what matters to people, even though the money printing machine has no limits, causes inflation, and is always available when military needs to expand spending.

Or why most "wealthy" economies spend more than they earn and it's ok to have an ever increasing debt even though countries pay dividends on it, which has to come from more debt that has more interest to be paid.

Not even tax brackets are understood correctly and the reason is the less people understand economy the easier to distract from real issues like genocide, money mismanagement, crime, corruption and other common place problems that impact people every day.

There's a wonderful channel that explains many things that go against mainstream, new economic thinking. It's backed by a college. https://youtube.com/@neweconomicthinking

I still don't understand economy.

Its just numbers numbers GDP buzzword buzzword blah blah, I have no idea how it works.

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

The economy is just people spending money. Is there enough money distributed to enough people who spend enough for enough businesses to employ enough people for enough of them to have enough money to spend? And the money has to trickle up.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

At this point, it can be boiled down to [insert idea here] with an accessorized relation to money.

"Pets are noisy, apartments should allow no tenants with pets". A sincere question: what pet owners, desperately looking for a place to live, should do? Ditch their pets? Abandon them? Throw them out?

One could extrapolate and state that "babies are noisy". After all, they can cry loud. Lots of places don't allow tenants with babies. What a mother with her baby looking for a place to live is supposed to do in such a situation where every landlord denies renting a place to her? What should she do, put her baby into adoption? Throw them out?

Geez. This is one of the many reasons why the modern world is deadwalking towards the cliff nowadays...

I have yet to hear a baby cry so loudly that I can hear it through my walls. So far in the 3 years I've lived here, not one instance can I recall or know of babies crying that loudly. Kids, who're able to talk and walk, they can be loud yes but they're manageable. It's lazy parenting that lets them be that way. Pets, generally, they're going to be loud and they're hard to control because nobody puts in the effort.

Now I have a question back at you - did you read the part where I said that some owners fucking suck at being owners or did you selectively skip that part to make the comment that you've made? Learn to read, it'd help you sometime.
