After that I was hoping to see "There's more to life than this. I'm wasting the time I've got left on pointless numbers."

Kyle is about to educate you on the precise definition of a pyramid scheme

To remind their audience, not to get an honest answer out of Trump.

Signal used to work this way and I'm still mad they dropped SMS.

In this context I think "crypto" means your message is encrypted across hops, not that you have to pay to send/receive messages.

I'd like a few questions about the genocides sprinkled in.

Me too and it has somehow helped, like in Office Space.

Inflation-adjusted or the monkey's paw will curl a finger.

NGL I would still totally want to be on that placard. Central Park, where all the other rich people can see it.

Luxury taxes are bad because supply is less elastic than demand, so the tax incidence falls on suppliers. In other words, the working class people building the airplanes pay the tax because the rich can just not buy them.

K.I.S.S. Tax wealth. Tax the only thing they really care about. Making them notice isn't just more satisfying; it's better economics.

This time around, we can keep lists too.

Yes in theory but no in practice. Another way of putting this is "will they appreciate your extra 10%" and the answer is always no.

Daily reminder that the only way to beat inflation is to get another job somewhere else. If you're staying long enough for this to matter, then you're leaving money on the table.

I volunteer for stuff like this if it gets me out of meetings. I've donated over a gallon of blood at work.

Desperate fear of termination. There's like a 5% chance this will help.

They were hoping to see a movie about the Ubermensch, not this woke comic book fake news!

Nah jk they don't read.

You could just save money that doesn't get arbitrarily taken from you.

If only there was some sort of direct action we could take against this.

Droppers!

Meh he can consent, s'all good.

They're are a million wrong ways to come at the wrong conclusion. So why then would we be surprised when many of the people who come to the right conclusion still do it for a variety of reasons? Perhaps the initial premise of why copyright should exist is conceptually riddled with holes.

Owning an idea is inherently capitalist, but the average person who encounters a problem won't spontaneously become anti-capitalist. They just know something seems wrong about this, but don't understand why. So they make up a story to address their cognitive dissonance, like nihilism.
