    You are going to have to unfold all of those acronyms before we can move forward with this conversation.

    I don’t have the palest of ideas of what you are trying to convey.

      ZIRP - zero interest rate policy. Very common term for anyone following macroeconomic policy since 2008.

      Given the group we’re in I hope I don’t have to explain the rest.

        Thank you.

        But… Why do you assume I have instant knowledge of acronyms because I opted to insert a comment on a topic that teased my interest? Does it pressuposes anything about my person?

          We’re in a tech focused group. I’m going to use tech sector terminology.

          We’re talking about finance and the economy. I’m going to use language from that space as well, particularly when referringto literally the most influential economic policy of a generation.

          I could equally ask why you couldn’t spend the 30 seconds it would take to look up these very common terms used in that intersection of topics.

        the group we’re in

        This esteemed Lemmy community of experts in technology news (that are mostly Muskrat memes, new phone apps and news about companies that may have had an app at some point).

        I think you’re somehow setting too high a bar for the average internet user. Don’t worry, it’s hard not to.
