Have you pledged your mind body and soul to our lord and savior, capitalism?

[-] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 months ago

mind, body and soul

And your air, and your water, and you land, and your government, and your laws, and your freedom, and your culture, and the minds, bodies and souls of any generations yet unborn, as well as the sacrifice of the potential minds, bodies and souls of generations not born due to the Great Tithe we all must pay in solemness and obedience. Amen.

Oh, so my first born child won't be required as well?

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

No, you'll still need to commit your first born, but we'll come back for them soon

We're back on pace for where we would have been pre-pandemic.

People chilling out on spending and/or paying down their debt during the pandemic was the weird part.

Prices weren't jacked to the moon yet and we weren't commuting. The market readjusted back to torture levels...

People stopped traveling too. This year the record for US domestic flight passengers has been broken and reset multiple times.

Lot of my colleagues are doing bucket list vacations because they don't give a fuck about saving anymore. They're convinced the world is ending so everyone millennial and down shouldn't bother saving.

And I can't say I disagree with that outlook. But I'm still maxing my 401k to be safe.
