I think this is pretty spot on; whenever I see discussion of the economy and economic perceptions, there's always people in the replies going "yeah, but eggs are $8 a dozen" or "why is every middle class family I know foodbanking." And then OP, or someone else, will post data showing egg prices are stable, or that wages have actually been rising faster than inflation, and the person who posted that may even admit that, ok, things are fine for them personally, but not for other people.

And it's always been true that politics is more about attitudes and aesthetics than it is about policy or facts on the ground; but it's rare that attitudes are so divorced from people's actual material circumstances. And while I think there are lots of things contributing to this disconnect, as matter of campaigning, I don't really know how you overcome it.

the problem with landlords is not that they are "lazy" or "useless" the problem is they hoard a resource needed for survival and extort people for access how many times does this need to be said

Not that I think losing crime is bad, but it certainly would be interesting to explore the financial consequences to a massive city like Gotham where crime does pay for half or more (of everything) and drives the local economy, as partly illegal shipping for gangsters also moves legal products to buyers. Or that working for mobsters is stable enough to feed families.

As Batman succeeds and dismantles these power structures and pseudo industries, what happens to the city? Is there even a way to disentangle all of it from the corruption that runs it (seen when Jim Gordon has to hire cops investigated by internal affairs because they've all been investigated).

Would Wayne Enterprises just have to fill in all the gaps? WE shipping, catering, et cetera to replace lost jobs and income? Or would Batman have to reckon with the fact that he can't shut down everything? At least not as bluntly as he does.

just wanna pop in and say your brand of daniel is the BEST and my absolute favorite. Reading your Daniel gives me constant cuteness aggression but he’s also hot and slutty and sensitive and mean and kind and beautiful which is exactly how he should be written imo💗 he contains multitudes. ty for your service. Your tags are also a beautiful place to be and always accurate

This brought such a smile to my face 🥹💕 Thank you so very much. I’m with you, he plagues me with cuteness aggression as well, comrade 🤝

Daniel through my gaze:

Why do you live in a shitty apartment? Being a ninja for so many years mean that you should be able to afford some nicer digs don't you think.

Maa...maa...such colourful adjectives would imply that you've actually seen the inside of my apartment - which I highly doubt. Not with my wards. There's nothing wrong with it, it has Mr Ukki in it. Shinobi has no need for excess you know, not when the majority of our time is spent out of the village on missions.

I have one sided beef with long-dead US founding father Benjamin Franklin, because he got the label "polymath" on his wikipedia page, since running a printing business back in Ye Old 1700s netted enough money and time to do hundreds of funky little experiments, write a badillion books, and fuck every old woman on both sides of the pond. meanwhile i, a wizard blogger

nice remark about an issue applicable to a large portion of a demographic IDIOT. are you gonna realize its large scale means the source is systemic and get the fuck up and do something about said system or are you gonna treat it like it comes purely from individual fault so you get to feel superior to as many people as possible

I know Sweden gets a lot of praise for being this socialist wonderland but seriously guys we still have capitalism, it still sucks and it especially sucks for anyone who is disabled or has a disabled family member. Yes we have rights and laws, but do you think anyone actually follows them? No, they cost to much money, disabled people are seen as a burden on the economy with nothing to contribute with. They just aren't worth the cost
