      The thing that bothers me the most: Exactly how much of my time is spent supporting a giant child grooming program for young girls.

      Like I’d sort of come to terms with my taxes going to orphan killing machine and I felt like a bad person, but could live.

      Now they want to relive Jim Crow and it’s all a bit much tbh

    Lucky! Our stable climate is beyond fucked and industrial global society will probably cease to function, so soon you won’t even have to think about these things! 😊

    I absolutely hate instagram. They have to make it impossible to get a damn link to anything w/o their shitty app. If anyone has insta and wants to drop the direct link to the comic just out of reach, I’ll update the description.

      I, too, hate Instagram. One of the social media sites that tries to lure kids into their van really aggressively. I’m just looking, damn.

      No need. Facebook owns them. You don’t need to “support the artist” by linking there.

      I’ll die on this hill.

      If someone posts to truth social, and it’s funny, fuck em. I don’t care to give Trump’s corrupt, shitty family the publicity.

        If you pull up the artists instagram page on mobile if you click any post it redirects you to the App Store to download the app. Couldn’t figure out how to just get the link for the post because even an open in new tab was a redirect to the App Store.

      One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine through town when he saw an old client and friend, Joe, in the park eating grass.

      Troubled, he asked his driver to stop and rolled down his window to shout, “Hey Joe! Why are you eating grass?”

      “We don’t have any money for food,” Joe replied gesturing towards his family close by. “We have to eat grass.”

      “Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I’ll feed you,” the lawyer said.

      “Thank you sir,” Joe replied. “But I also I have a wife and two children with me.”

      “Bring them along,” the lawyer cheerily replied.

      They all entered the car and zipped off to the lawyers home.

      On the way, Joe turned to the lawyer and said, “Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you.”

      The lawyer replied, “Glad to do it, Joe! You’ll really love my place. The grass there is at least a foot high.”

      Yes, the billionaires are getting more and more rich not because they steal from the poor, but because they can just poop money out of their ass whenever they want to.

      Definitely nothing has changed since the 80s.

      Poor people just need to learn how to poop money too.

        Poor people just need to learn how to poop money too.

        The problem is compound growth favors incumbent wealth. The relative gap will always grow even if everyone is investing in the same etfs.

        This drives inflation which disproportionately affects the poor, as we have massive amount of capital gains chasing production of goods that haven’t followed the same compound growth (we see this manifest in stats like almost half of consumption is driven by top 10%).

        It’s gonna get to the point where you can try to do everything right as even upper middle class, and still not afford staple goods. At that point, heads WILL roll. But the rich are trying their best to employ contingencies like AI/drones to secure their greed.

        I never said billionaires aren’t robbing the rest, especially in the US. My point is you can do things yourself to not dig the hole deeper. And vote for a higher taxes to the rich, wealth tax and a bunch of others. You can walk and chew gum, can you?

          vote for a higher taxes to the rich

          LMAO 🤣🤣🤣 How do you think we got to this point, my sweet summer child?

          Because everyone was voting to become poorer and tax the rich less?

          Oh my god, how genius you are! How the fuck did we not think of VOTING for a better life…

            Yes, unironically, emphatically, yes. Project 2025 was less than 2 years ago, already forgot about that?

        You can take a walk in the park, you don’t need to go to Disney or Switzerland.
