also thinking about how the political party that’s constantly yapping about the economy also aggressively supports “traditional” home structures, despite stay at home parents kinda being bad for the economy.
1) the unpaid domestic labor that stay at home parents perform doesn’t contribute to the GDP and 2) unemployed stay at home parents obviously don’t have jobs and don’t “produce” economic activity
please don’t think I’m anti stay at home parents btw.
but countries with significant gender inequality tend to have much lower GDPs by comparison. gender inequality costs the world approximately $12 trillion in global GDP (World Economic Forum).
so I find it quite strange that the party that’s always whining about the economy seems to want to bring back social policies that would *hurt* our economy.
something something proof they don’t actually care about the economy (I could’ve told you that in about 8 other ways) they just hate women and minorities

Had a really long talk with my roommate about this & we came to opposite conclusions. What do you guys think?
#polls#college au#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#wwx#lwj#wangxian#this is for research purposes#normally I hate writing aus but the idea crept into my mind and would not leave me#I think wwx is an engineer. lwj screams humanities#dude would probably minor in philosophy and major in ancient history or comparative literature or linguistics#lwj is school of letters and sciences for sure#wwx compsci maybe? materials engineering? leaning more compsci but tbh I could see any engineering for him except for biomedical#I think wwx would live in the makerspace#she says wwx is pre-law polisci and lwj is compsci#she says lwj is the humanities kid —> stem major pipeline#like us lmao#probably did really well in English in hs but Asian parents/cultural influence promoted the stem degree#we agreed that Jiang Cheng is business econ though

Going to teach kids who are on track for a career at Goldman Sacks about class consciousness, wish me luck ✌️
#i am like the only person on the teaching team of this class who i think is willing to accept that they're going to get something#out of it theoretically but it's not going to translate into any meaningful praxis. it is what it is at least they've read marx i guess#(i am also not really a marxist so idk i'm simultaneously the worst and best qualified person on this team to teach this)#(i'm fine with the stakes being what they are. it's one semester if they at least are open to marx maybe that'll become something someday)#there is one kid in this class though who is a diehard marxist and has read the manifesto like 20 times and i respect them so much#they were sitting next to the hard theoretical econ kid in class yesterday who is the other That Kid of this class#and honestly that's absolutely the most powerful social bond that could emerge here. i hope marxist kid wins#perce rambles#in other news i am actually reading the manifesto for the first time which is interesting#i've only read some of capital before this#(i am absolutely guilty of being the guy who finds marx theoretically interesting but does not engage in practice i'm sorry)

teen wolf background classes you will always be famous
#personal#leigh watches teen wolf#literally what is going on there. we see parent teacher conferences and coach says he teaches econ then later they have an exam and the#questions on the exam are clearly for econ but it’s not the econ teacher holding the exam it’s some other guy and i was like what why do#they have two econ teachers but then it turns out the other guy is actually the chemistry professor (yes he has a little name card calling#himself a prof which i think is really funny considering this is high school) and also at some point the econ teacher#gives a lesson that sounded much more like an english lecture iirc and NOW he’s talking abt a midterm tmrw and the chalkboard is full of#algebra trig and calculus. hello 😭🙏🏻

i think all business owners should have to spend 50% of their work week doing the actual job they're supposedly overseeing. since it's all apparently so easy, and they could do so much better. and also then kill themselves.
#people will buy a company that's part of the public health and safety sector and go 'lol is anyone going to gut this industry like a fish?'#and not wait for an answer. while using stupid baseball movie metaphors.#<- vince that seems like a really weird thing to be annoyed about#i need you all to understand that the owners of my company do not like baseball.#they spent an entire meeting talking in baseball metaphors they don't understand because they felt it made them seem personable#because they're fucking econ majors who seem to view the world entirely as a game where if they press the right buttons#they'll unlock the 'loyalty and devotion' setting in their workers and profits will soar through the roof#which simply CAN'T be that hard to do. since we're all dumb hicks who never went to college (to get a REAL degree)#just throw enough fishing/sports/camping metaphors out at us and surely we'll be won over.#sorry work has been. irritating. lately.

That Show really made a lot of questionable casting choices and I'm mad about a lot of them but absolutely nothing is more hateful than their finrod casting. like that is not finrod felagund that's a big bang theory cast member and i do mean this entirely derogatory. like. what the fucking fuck
#*mine#mona rambles#I'm not hate watching like some stuff is fun as long as i pirate and just. don't really consider it an adaptation#like it's fun in the way shitty shows can be fun#but man. the gil galad casting AND characterization is already an affront#we don't need to talk about celebrimbor#but finrod?? finrod is a literal hate crime that just ain't it. he would Not Fucking Look Like That#did you even try. did you just ask some random econ major if ue wanted to suck bezos' dick. like. lord#ANYWAY#i should come up with a tag for this but that's tomorrow mona's problem#I'm almost done with s1 anyway so like#yk

watching people interact with each other l i k e
#idk is it just me or are irl social interactions extremeeeeeelyyyyy e x h a u s t i n g#e s p e ci a ll y if you have to talk to a bunch of strangers who are somehow getting along really well despite it being their first meeting#but wellllllllllll… ig the reason why im even thinking of this is bc#the beginning of the year always never fails to bring back memories of orientation camps. m a n i hated those#and the things that those camps always have in common are… 1) that i’d be unable to gel well with my groupmates in the orientation camps#and 2) that the orientation group leaders always stick close to me to force me to join in on conversations i want no part of aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa#i think the overnight camp over the first 3 days of school in. like. 2013 was the worst#bc 1: it was a new school. none of us knew anyone else. and we had to stay at school overnight for some reason during that orientation camp#and 2: (idk about the born-males but) the skirt wearers were all forced to sleep in the (unairconditioned) hall together#with no dividers or segregated corners or anything. just the walls of the hall. nothing else to lean on or anything#so most of them. like. slept in the middle of the hall next to the friends they made that day.#but no. not me. i made no friends so i found a little cozy spot under some list of top academic scorers or sth. peace and quiet#and the best part is that the orientation group leaders didn’t sleep in the hall with us soooo i wasn’t forced to talk to anyone yayyyyyyyy#ngl sometimes i think back to my days at that school and wonder why the heck it was so weird#like even the teachers were weird. throwback to my then-club advisor who called the number i specifically asked her not to call…#which set off a series of events that led to *the* incident that caused my parents’ divorce#thank you ma’am your unnecessary efforts were very much unappreciated </3#hmmmmmm but she wasn’t the only weird teacher at that school though. sadly.#like i had this home econs teacher who insisted that the lights be turned off while we cooked#a n d scolded us for rinsing our cooking utensils and stuff bc ‘the previous class had already washed it!’#she also made us write half a page-long reflections on what we cooked that day in class which was bonkers tbh#there was this literature teacher that made a ✨t o n✨ of shipping jokes about my classmates and inappropriate jokes in general#and this other teacher who p much told me ‘ok sure you have trauma. but [other guy] had experienced worse trauma and look he turned out ok’#uh sorry ma’am no. 2 i had already heard his story from him but i don’t think it’s your place to talk about someone else’s trauma like that—#and g o d there was also this time my class’s groupchat got some of my classmates into a whole bunch of trouble#bc some guy leaked the most problematic of the messages to someone else from another class (who then snitched to a teacher)#man. i do not miss school at all. too many people to talk to; too little time to myself#i do wonder how my former schoolmates are doing though… i hope that they’ll have a good 2k24 if they can~~~~~#ok i think that’s enough of a trip down memory lane for one week. man. i feel old

recommended tumblr post: economists are unethical and evil and we should just kill them all
me, an economist:
#moi#not in like an official capacity but i do have a degree in economics!#…which might have been kind of unintentional bc my econ teacher in HS was really good#and it turns out the thing i was actually interested in was closer to behavioral economics & herd dynamics#but still!#anyway it kind of says something that the thing that post was mad about#was in fact an egregious misrepresentation of an egregious misinterpretation of what the guy actually said#on the topic of the aging population in japan#this japanese economist suggested that part of the problem is that the population IS aging and NOT retiring#and young people aren’t able to work their way into steadier positions or into leadership#so he suggested a potential solution could be for older folks to like. commit (figurative) career seppuku.#acknowledge that your time has come and gone and step down with honor and grace#what the article headline said: ‘JAPANESE ECONOMIST SAYS ELDERLY SHOULD COMMIT MASS SUICIDE (INCLUDING RITUAL DISEMBOWELMENT)’#which is????#kind of super racist????#like is it technically accurate to call seppuku ‘ritual disembowlment’?? i mean i guess???#that’s just not the connotation it has??????#like the point here is ‘to go with honor.’ not ‘ritual disembowelment followed by ritual beheading’#so um anyway
