Pro tip: just scan what you can in 3 minutes and take the rest as payment for doing their work.

Their leadership should be broken up into smaller pieces.

Narrator: they won’t.

I see “Jack Black” and know enough to save my money. Dude is poison. Seems like a nice guy, but has the comedy stylings of a low rent party clown.

Only because things are too expensive for plebes to buy outright! Mortgages are basically subscriptions too. Or “layaway” at least.

Thanks to monthly payments for everything, you can have whatever TV you want!

Always irked me, the term “trickle down”. It implies the masses are only deserving of whatever slips through from the ceiling above…

“Look, kids! This slow drip from the ceiling under this lake has created a small puddle. In thousands of years from now, this puddle will be much larger. Possibly a pond! Imagine that, a pond!”

“But you said there’s a lake above us?”

“That’s a private lake. Trespassers will be shot.”

We’re meant to live in groups of like 50 or something, and trusting elders made sense because their survival was tied to the survival of everyone in the group.

Now we’re in groups of millions and still believing what people of authority have to say because “why would they lead us astray? Surely their survival depends on our ability to thrive, too? Right? Guys?”

This is all a red herring. Our SUV’s, stupid as they may be, are statistically barely relevant compared to effects of corporate greed and pollution on the rest of us. Point the blame where it belongs: at the ruling class for having the knowledge and means to have avoided all of this, but chose not to.

Just a child sex enthusiast, I guess?

Came to the comments for this 👍

Pretty much anyone running a church is doing the same shit, no? He just got cocky about it, sounds like. Gotta at least pretend to be humble whilst grifting your flock

$400M ought to fuck them somewhat, but I guess in oil bucks, it’s probably not going to sting for long…

This guy fences and / or thieves.

But we aren’t intelligent without human training, either…

Only if we keep letting them.

MacOS is free and has been for years. Still no bullshit.

A donkey disc. Durh.

“We’re doing to inject you with what we’re calling a ‘genius enhancement serum’; it will fortify your already throbbing genius cells and keep you sharp as a tack, ensuring your every response is virtually perfect for your defence in this trial.”

Because the people don’t choose their options, just from the options chosen for them. The rich are one team, and our options are just to give us the illusion of choice and to pit us against each other as if it were left v. right and not haves v. have-nots. Notice the options are always deeply rooted in the “haves” camp…

From the outside looking in (not American, but Canada has similar problems) it looks transparently theatrical. But then I look around in Canada with that same “outsider” perspective and, yeah, it’s just as bad here. Our Premier of Ontario is a slightly less embarrassing version of Trump. Claims to be “for the people” but gives little-to-no fucks whatsoever based on his actions.

Anyway… Ready whenever others are to burn this all down…
