    Are [politicians and corporations] seeking to improve the world? Are they looking out for the 99%?

    Interesting idea for an essay but the woolly-minded liberal vibes coming off this one are intense.

    words to live by tbh, a lot of people are afraid to say no or enough it feels like :/ I also enjoyed the movie with the amazing Crispin Glover. This phrase has a lot of power because they want to get you locked into their schemes and dependent in any way possible. They want subscribers and people in debt for cars and homes way above what anyone actually needs, and they make it extremely difficult and expensive to attempt to opt out of any of it and all but impossible to opt out of all of it, or if you do they call you crazy for not wanting to play this demented game of monopoly we turned life into

      yeah I have been mentioning the skrivner quite a bit in the last year or two as it is what I am feeling. Did not know there was a movie. I mean. I can’t imagine it being great to watch but you never know.
