That's why we have religion: to keep people hoping for supernatural save instead of fixing the situation by ourselves.

Wishing for a white knight to ride in and rescue them from their complacent acceptance.
The problem is the way this is stated. “Their wealth” is a misnomer. Is some of it their wealth? Of course. But the Waltons as one example, don’t amass $432 billion without STEALING from their employees. Stealing can be in the form of non-liveable wages such that SNAP benefits are required, not paying skilled labor commensurate to that skill, skimping on health care benefits, not offering yearly bonuses to labor staff when profits rise, etc. Bezos is another example, stealing wages to build a penis rocket instead of allowing his staff a solid living. Lying to unions about internal wealth distribution availability. Failure to make true cost of living increases AND merit raises for increased xp each year.
All of that is stealing.
Their wealth? Not all of it.
Private property is theft.
Someone needs to visit JK Rowling dressed as the Ghost of Transgender Solidarity, then as the Ghost of Palestinian Solidarity, and then finally as the Ghost of Paying Your Damn Taxes to the UK Treasury System.
Bring back Wassailing!
Ugh, man… this canned wassail is kinda skunky.
We could possibly get Peter Theil on this.
He legitimately, in his soul, believes that AI is the second coming of Christ.
Doesn't the second coming of Christ signal the end of the world? Maybe he is more correct than you think.
Yeah, I buy it. I kinda think a super intelligent AI would escape containment, immediately hack everything, then individually explain it's going to limit our screentime and has arranged enrichment activities for us
My fear is we increasingly confuse chat-gpt for super intelligence, and capitalism demands we offload all decision making onto it
Fuck the trickle-down economy, lets bring in the piñata economy.
I really need an SNL sketch with Jeffrey Epstein as Jacob Marley, but with bedsheets instead of chains
Terrorized into not being a pos miser. Sharing is too close to selective trickle-down.
