It really depends on the type and field of economics you’re looking at. Macro and micro are very very different fields. There are also a lot of different ways to present these facts. In general gdp means very little for normal people, and something like the Gini coefficient at least gets a little closer to a metric that actually represents the economic health of a country.

Or is it a soldier mounted cat?

 

TITLE, had the same issue with WEFWEF so I think it might be a lemmy thing but suddenly I can’t use reader view on any links that I open in the app. Anyone else having this?

I’m using it when looking for specific information about specific topics (tutorials, product reviews) but I haven’t looked at the front page since the announcement

No one knows what it will look like this is an entirely new shift but I do have this feeling that things are at a real turning point right now. The massive rise of AI, the monetization and enshitification of social media and entertainment reaching a peak, bizzare economic conditions, a feverish culture war in the west. I’m sure I’m missing something but there is a strange cocktail of factors mixing right now and the changes happening with Reddit seem like just another piece. I’m optimistic about what it means. I think a lot of people feel like the status quo as it has been is not infinitely sustainable.

Can you elaborate on how they get those metrics?
