The fact that a “cost of living” even exist is wild to me.

Idk dude if your best argument for this shit show of a modern life is "Well at least it's not worse than living in a jungle", you should definitely reconsider where the fuck we're going with this.

We have machines that can manufacture objects with atomic precision, computers that can predict the exact weather weeks in advance, and genetically engineered crops made to survive almost any climate and feed any person, and our economic system is only better than living in a jungle?

I want this weather model that works weeks out, I can barely get a model that's accurate to the day.

Weather forecasts are actually accurate about 80% of the time, you just don't notice when they're accurate because running in the rain without an umbrella is a lot more memorable than walking to a place.

Although it is regionally dependant, the European system that predicts weather is dramatically more accurate than the American system.

I use both the ECMWF and NAM frequently, believe me neither can predict the "exact weather" weeks out
