This is from the actual study:

"Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM) is a project of the Muslim Council of Britain Charitable Foundation and was established in 2018 to monitor the British media on how it reports on Muslims and Islam."

You've been corrected multiple times with excerpts from the authors of the study you're parroting all over this thread. And yet you just keep posting the same shit, not acknowledging the people who are refuting your claims.

To be fair though, the striker market is insane right now. Hojlund £80 million, Napoli demanding £150 million for Omishen. When you consider that, £100 million doesn't seem that insane provided it brings bayern a deep CL run. If they win it in the next few years, it's 100% worth it for them.

Yeah I think the only way we would've got Kane/Mbappe was if the takeover happened before the transfer window ended. Doesn't look like the takeovers happening at all now so we'll probably get Hojlund and that'll be it for this window.

By everyone, I think you mean at the lower end of the pay Spectrum. Minimum wage hasn't kept up for the past 30 years, but as you climb higher, the pay has certainly skyrocketed. And it's these people that drive up the cost of housing. If everyone was being paid like shit, house prices wouldn't have skyrocketed.

In 1980, a person making minimum wage could afford a house and a CEO coukd afford 5 houses. Today, minimum wage makers can afford 0 houses, while the CEO can afford 20. On average, house buying capacity has gone up Imo. It's just the split that fucks over the poor people.

Overall I feel that's their idea. Aggressive rate hikes in quick succession slows down the red hot economy quickly, but also creates an air of uncertainty. This causes corporations to panic and start thinking about pausing promotions and even begin layoffs. And we all know, the best way to reduce inflation and slow down an economy is to have more unemployed and poor people. The government knows that as long as companies keep paying people a lot of money, people gonna a keep buying shit.

Just a note, lemmy does have a karma system. The default UI doesn't show this but I believe apps like wefwef/memmy expose this data.

Eh I don't know if I agree with that line of thinking. The issue with VAR is that even after taking so long, the decisions aren't much better. If we have the technology to take better decisions, I believe we should be using it.

Even with VAR, I believe we are better off now that we were before. The most frustrating part of a sport is having the referee decide a pivotal moment in a game and VAR aims to reduce that at the cost of some extra time. I hope in a couple years. The technology will get better too.

Think I did ok, but does it really matter when I can just create my own instance and choose whatever username I want?
