[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't really get renovations for cosmetic reasons. Everyone wants the trendiest kitchen, the latest this or that...And then it becomes obsolete, and repeat. It's a waste of money and materials. Most of the world does not do any of this.[/quote]

it's called quality of life. If you can afford it, who cares[/quote]

Enduring a lengthy, costly, stressful renovation will have a huge negative effect on QOL. (DP.) Humans don’t actually need or desire these things. They are just brainwashed by marketers to think they do. If you sit around all day being annoyed at your old kitchen, you’ve been had. [/quote]
It’s fine to want and have nice things that you worked hard for. Are you going to take your money with you when you go?[/quote]

No, I just understand that a new kitchen (or anything new) only makes you happy briefly, then the situation and dopamine normalizes, and then you go looking for your next hit. It’s well understood. [/quote]

So you don't own anything you actually like and appreciate? You can't think of one thing?[/quote]

NP- Is this 1 mil a year person feeling defensive? If so, it's silly. The point is that huge (to people with normal salaries) purchases are rarely, if ever, a good idea financially. It doesn't mean you live in total austerity at all times and never treat yourself to something.[/quote]

The oligarchs are shocked to find out that causing mass job/economic instability results in less consumer confidence.[/quote]

Consumers haven’t been confident in much of the US in years.  Welcome to the club.[/quote]

The Federal Government is the largest employer in the US.  [/quote]

And?

People voted for this because of the economy—the economy Democrats insisted over and over was fine.  Thanks![/quote]

Nope. They voted because of migrants and wokism. And everyone hated Kamala. The economy wasn’t bad enough to foil an election. Trust me, if Trump oversaw Biden’s, he would have been boasting. [/quote]
