Well done! That is incredibly interesting insight. It makes total sense, I think you’re completely right. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I’m going to let that marinate in my brain for a good while.

They just CAN’T let us have something. They don’t even have a good reason to take it from us, they just don’t want us to have it.

I’ve been telling people for years, Russia most certainly influenced the outcome of the US elections because they have a huge interest in placing inept, incompetent, easily manipulated fools in power, in their “enemy” countries.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they had something to do with an actor becoming president of Ukraine. They had plans to take Ukraine, and they didn’t want a real politician in power when they tried it.

I’d love to know why you know these terms. I’m a huge etymology nerd and I eat this stuff up.

This entire thread begs the question, why do some people have a first name for a last name? Is it just a less-clear patronym?

Use a pie launcher that can emulate the back button, like LMT Launcher. The back button will always be about an inch from wherever your thumb already happens to be.

When all you have time to do is work and sleep, this is the result (as intended).

A smack on the hand is simply not enough. They need to be brought up on criminal charges for “crimes against the economy”.

They took millions of middle class citizens and made them poor, for no reason other than greed to be even richer. At their level of wealth, being richer won’t even slightly effect their living conditions.

If there aren’t laws for crimes against the economy, there should be.

I don’t think that means what you think that means

There needs to be a tech workers union. The abuse from employers needs to end. Especially the endless free overtime.

Same. Canceled last month. You vote with your dollars, people.

I believe that’s where the famous saying originates from.

This is definitely progress, but we need to keep in mind that the particular language a person speaks can significantly influence how a person’s brain works.

This concept needs to spread. Those record profits and the consolidation of wealth is a real-life exploit (a hack) of capitalism. These types of situations were never intended by the visionaries that designed capitalism. This entire clusterfuck of 1% having 99% of the money was never intended by design, nor seemed like a plausible situation to need to design protections for when the economy started getting destroyed by this situation. As the sickness of greed among policymakers grew, they punched holes in the system in order to exploit the mechanics of the capitalism to collect virtually limitless money while simultaneously denying other less privileged people not “in the know” the chance to do the same.

Does anyone remember the original Super Mario Brothers, where you could get crowns, basically giving you more lives than you could possibly use? These capitalist hackers found a way to get crowns at the expense of the 99%, and nobody has any clue or organized any way to stop this hack/exploit from ruining it for everyone else.

Capitalism has been hacked. If the system administrators don’t manually intervene and redistribute wealth, we are just going to keep circling the drain until it’s all over like a game of Monopoly where everyone except one entity is completely bankrupt.
