A communist is just a libertarian who hasn't had to face the tax man yet.

"What's this from each according to their ability nonsense? All I recall is "to each according to their need!"

I have no problem with those who think they are better. My problem is with those who collude to rig the system to give themselves advantage. It begins and ends with the meritocracy.

If the price reaches $100,000 (just an example)

Then the hedges go bankrupt because they can't pay it all...

...and their brokers are on the hook to pay the difference. And they go bankrupt because they can't pay...

...and their bank is on the line.

The rules were designed so the rich always get paid. Can't get around it. It wasn't designed with the dirty poors in mind.

I mean, if they ACTUALLY cared, they'd be "requiring" proper sealing n95s. Do you know how many cartridges for a proper respirator you can buy for each person with just one of the covid relief bills?

One of the issues is that congress is so complicated that term limits would all but guarantee that any law on the floor would be written by a lobbyist with no term limits for whom the 'elected' official is now just the patsy minus the experience and understanding to question this line, or pushback on that language.

Back in the before times, there was an ask reddit thread - If everyone had to have a number float above their head, what would you want it to represent. A lot of people voted on things like, "# of sexual partners", or jokes like "hours since last poop", but I really wanted IQ.

I honestly believe the world would be a better place if people had to know what their own IQ was, and had to wear it for others to see. It would make conversations so much easier - not because, hurr durr you dumb, but because you'd know immediately how to tailor your arguments, and whether it was even worth engaging at all.

There is a deep connection between misogyny and consuming animals

Uhhhh, newborn male chickens have entered the chat and would like to have a word.

Laws don't just exist to protect the innocent, but also the guilty. Because when there is no remediation from a dispassionate source, it will come from a passionate one. These people are playing with fire.

We don't live in a Democracy

We don't live in a Constitutional Republic

We live in a Criminal Oligarchy

The scales have fallen from our eyes, there are no good politicians, no good judges, the military is not a bulwark against tyranny. We are not citizen, we are subjects, and we have been forever. No one can claim otherwise anymore.

No, Q was real, just wrong about a lot. As were we. Who to trust, how deep shit went, betrayed, mislead.

And Q was Trump and his administration.

Every institute appears entirely compromised at this moment. But it does not appear at all to be a larp.

We do have a cohesive culture.

We just also have other cultures living among us.

Look around you, literally half+ of the country completely on the same page. A hundred million plus all completely on the same page.

No plans to cross seemed like defeat until it was announced that they'd be crossing at night. Stop dooming.

WRONG

You don't go into battle presuming you'll be dead and beaten by end of day so you can be pleasantly surprised if things go different. And that's in the worst of times when uncertainty around. You couldn't ask for better signs yet you're all still dooming.

I swear, a generation trained to fear losing tries to pre-cope with loss instead of playing the game they're literally poised to win.
