Literally a Babylon Bee article…
nobel prize
ok go on.
economist
bye
It always makes me laugh because it’s not even a real Nobel prize
incredibly true statement
Literally. It’s given out by a different organization than the Nobel prize.
Not that the Nobel Peace Prize or the Nobel Prize in Literature isn’t political horse shit half the time…
We did it. The price of food went from “not cheap” to “holy shit” and its still at “holy shit”. We won.
Now everybody needs to stop asking for those fucking raises.
I’m just glad we didn’t give everybody raises. These economists clearly were right when they said if everybody got a raise inflation would be insane.
Instead we just had massive inflation at the same wages so everybody is fucked.
: “Please, I just want a house. I’m willing to pay for it and everything, but why are your asking for a million dollars for each?”
: “Awww, look at the dumb naive kid who doesn’t understand that it’s just a sign the economy is going well, you wouldn’t want to hurt ThE eCoNoMy, would you?”I recently saw the phrase ‘food insecurity’ and while I’ve heard it before, I never realized how weird of a phrase it was. It’s poverty, food insecurity is the definition of poverty. But because people have phones or something it doesn’t count as poverty?
I never realized how weird of a phrase it was.
I never googled “food insecurity” because I could imagine what the definition was. But check out the third sentence on the health.gov page. Emphasis mine.
Food Insecurity - Healthy People 2030
Food insecurity is defined as a household-level economic and social condition of limited or uncertain access to adequate food. In 2020, 13.8 million households were food insecure at some time during the year. Food insecurity does not necessarily cause hunger, but hunger is a possible outcome of food insecurity.
And look at the phrasing - “13.8 million households”. How many people is that?

Libs love terms that they can use to make something they don’t want to think about more abstract. In this case - they can avoid having to use sentences like this…
- They don’t get enough to eat.
- They don’t have enough to eat.
- Sometimes they don’t have enough to eat.
And libs don’t want to seem cruel and dismissive so they would like to avoid…
- Sometimes they are forced to skip meals because they don’t have enough money.
- Sometimes they go hungry because they don’t have enough money.
Enter “food insecurity”. Voilà!
- They suffer from food insecurity.
No mention of troublesome words like eat, meals, money, hungry or god forbid hunger.
Economists are the high priests of capital
Wow, great news for off-grid homesteaders living in the middle of fucking nowhere and literally no one else
Laughs in price of agricultural inputs
WHAT ELSE IS THERE
legitimately this makes me feel so much despair
Yachts, exotic animals, Fabergé eggs, precious metals, artisanal cocaine… Normal stuff that you’ll need in any household.
islands, art, human slaves, etc
