ok if you think about it zhongli is single-handedly responsible for the flow of currency from rich people (the northland bank)'s pockets back into the local economy (whoever had a historical artifact to sell that day)
zhongli is the reason why trickle-down economics works in liyue, as the money is trickling down from childe and the northland bank into the merchants and regular people of liyue, so as the rich get richer the poor will be brought up alongside because zhongli will be able to spend more
and also the us federal reserve aims for a 2% inflation rate, so zhongli's spending habits from when he had mora could just be him regulating inflation of the liyuean economy
so actually zhongli is great with money and he is supporting an entire economic theory all by himself
without zhongli liyue's economy would get significantly more top-heavy and the wealth disparity gap would increase
i would love to see a whole breakdown on liyue's economy like are their workers unionized do they know what a union is or are they still operating under like serfdom or something
Texas is still suffering from power outages triggered by Hurricane Beryl which dissipated a week ago.
More than a week after Hurricane Beryl swept through Texas and left millions without power, nearly 60,000 people in the state still do not have electricity.
The issue is more than an inconvenience, as many in the state have faced a deadly days-long heat wave that claimed its latest victim on Tuesday.
Local news reported that a woman was found dead in her apartment after spending the last eight days in her home without electricity and air conditioning. The heat index in Houston had climbed to 110F (43F) the day her body was discovered.
With the power issue lingering and more than a dozen deaths now linked to the heat, frustrations in Houston have started to boil over - particularly as the forecasts for the coming days warn of high temperatures.
Armed residents living without electricity have reportedly harrassed and threatened workers from CenterPoint Energy, the local energy provider, who have been sent out to restore power.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a statement saying that CentrePoint Energy "has lost the faith and trust of Texans".
He issued a July 31 deadline for the company to respond to questions about what went wrong and what can be done to mitigate hurricane damage to the electric grid.
Climate-denying Republican Gov. Greg Abbott followed that Texas GOP tradition of leaving the state whenever climate causes a disaster leading to misery and death for residents. We remember Sen. Ted Cruz heading to Cancún when a winter storm caused the state's separate power grid to collapse.
Gov. Abbott went to Milwaukee to attend the GOP convention to brag about himself sending busloads of migrants to Chicago.
Gov. Abbott says Texas will continue busing migrants to Chicago during RNC speech
Those migrants are being sent north with taxpayer money in air conditioned buses while Abbott's Texas constituents are dropping dead from the heat.
Abbott himself was enjoying the moderate climate of the Upper Midwest where the high temperature in Milwaukee on Thursday is expected to be a refreshing 75° F/24° C. No place in southeastern Wisconsin will even make it to 80° today.
Abbott and other MAGA Republicans will be celebrating the climate policies of the Orange Dear Leader whose election would guarantee even more climate disasters for the Lone Star State.
one day you decide to start a silly little anime about a boy trying to find his dad and the friends he makes along the way as he becomes a hunter and the next thing you know youre producing a short film based off a fanfiction that YOU wrote about the unresolved tension and intense yet unsaid love and care between the endearing medical student with too big of a heart and the vengeful hitman who just wants to experience peace one day as your film production final project.
New thesis: Marcille is not bisexual, but rather demisexual
Argument 1: Her relationship with Falin can be read as romantic because they have a special bond (school friends, first best friends, touching each other as a sign of affection, using illegal magic to resurrect Falin, fighting others to keep her safe and alive/immortal, kind attitude towards each other)
Argument 2: her succubus/ideal person (because they looked both feminine and masculine) is inspired by her favorite romance books
Counter-argument: if a fantasy setting is inspired by the middle ages, then fantasy characters have no modern sexual orientations, they just practice homo-/hetero-/other- relationships
