    God can you imagine if we lived in a hellishly cruel and exploitative world of industrial genocides, child labor and deregulation, like in the dirty stinky past? Then those communists might have a point, haha

        You mean to tell me that the people making all commodities aren’t making $300k/yr and working from home with their output coordinated through a series of gig economy apps? I don’t know about that, sounds pretty old fashioned.
