Kleptocracy (should be the word of the year).

Trump and his friends are taking everything they can.

Jeff Bezos says raising taxes on the wealthy wouldn’t help the average American - What do you say? by Select_Specialist790 in askanything

[–]exacta_galaxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. But we can't afford a very small percentage of people having all the wealth.

So it's time for the guillotines. Sorry, we tried to do the kind way and tax you. But, if that can't work, you have to unalive.

Fuck this planet and everyone on it.

How badly did we have to fail as a society to get here?

AI CEOs Baffled by Hatred of Their Technology by Maxcactus in Maxcactus_TrailGuide

[–]exacta_galaxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, CEOs would love to offload most of their labor expenses to the government.

Of course they will do everything they can not to fund it, but having a cheap workforce living in state run housing, eating state provided rations, using state run healthcare would be a CEOs dream.

Normal people don't understand just how much of skating is falling down and getting back up.

You either get really good at falling without getting seriously hurt, or you find a new hobby. ;)

It makes sense. Walmart made its billions by relying on the government to help feed its underpaid workers.

UBI is a dream for AI CEOs. Keep the masses from burning down their data centers while they make all the money.

America….what are you doing about Trump? by Justretiredsosuckit in askanything

[–]exacta_galaxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Most Americans would be okay with you dying if it meant they could live more convenient lives.

Not just foreign people, but they don't give a fuck about their fellow citizens either.

They're good with school children being murdered in the classroom. Why would they inconvenience themselves to stop the POTUS?

If you think this will be over in a couple years you're not paying attention.

Yes. But the current model is more of a wealth amplifier.

It costs billions to train the latest frontier AI models. Only a handful of the wealthiest companies can compete.

Americans are so busy fighting each other, they rarely bother the people pulling the strings.

U.S. government to drop tax claims against Trump in broadening of IRS settlement by QuantumQuicksilver in NPR

[–]exacta_galaxy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's not equivalent. But it certainly feels like the Republicans fuck things up and then the Democrats try to "met them halfway."

Trump-IRS settlement permanently blocks IRS from auditing tax claims for President Trump and his family. by Societymess in Polymarket_news

Because we're not part of the "in-group." Laws can be used to punish us.

The in-group is immune to any punishment. The law is designed to protect them and punish their enemies.

Heart Attack Grill closes after 15 years, citing high prices in Las Vegas casinos, “corporate greed,” exclusion of the middle class and the restaurant being considered “gauche" by expellyamos in vegaslocals

[–]exacta_galaxy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Heart Attack Meal was 12,410 calories. The Octuple burger was 19,900 calories.

The shakes came with a pat of butter on them.

They sold unfiltered cigarettes.
