codeslave5 | 5 years ago | on: Ask HN: I hate coding, but it's all that's on my resume. What do I do?
I would say the tedious complexity. Immense complexity of jacked together systems

This could be construed as an attempt at the normalization of abnormal human behavior. People 500 years ago did “x”, so you’re opinion on that now should be dictated as such.
I this see across media platforms. Not blatant support of an idea, but a perspective on it that assumes a specific reality. Not that this is necessarily what is going on here, but I am seeing it everywhere. Call me crazy...

Yes it is. But the Fed is not stupid. This whole dollar losing its status fear is similar to “the next big depression, worse than 1929” or “the next big earthquake to knock California into the ocean”.
It’s just human nature to fear these events.
The us economy is rock solid and is basically the only economy innovating at all. This doesn’t mean that wages aren’t stagnant or that wealth inequality isn’t a problem.

“Goldman warns the next big crash is around the corner”
“Gold warns about the end of QE in terms of effectiveness”
“Goldman warns about the rise of China”
It goes on and on. It’s all marketing, they have to say something.
The dollar has no risk, the demand for dollars is massive.

I have the same problem. I just started at FAANG, make good money, and I. Am. So. Miserable. I studied so hard for this job and now all I want is out. The day to day logic is burning out my mind and making it hard to enjoy life
