  • It would only happen because of their sense of self-preservation. They can build all the bunkers they want but there is no way to be completely independent of the giant external machine that keeps us all alive. Even if you were a nihilist like your average billionaire, you can’t just say fuck everybody else, I got mine. You depend on food being grown and delivered, you depend on drugs being made and doctors and dentists to fix you up. You depend on a billion people not actively seeking your death. You depend, most of all, on money not being worthless. If nobody has money but you, then you also have no money.


  • but communities and farms still use unsustainable amounts of water.

    I’m so tired of hearing this load of shit. “Communities” use TWENTY PERCENT of all the water consumed in Arizona. That includes all the horrible, wasteful, golf courses everybody hates except golfers. TWENTY PERCENT.

    Farms and industry use EIGHTY PERCENT of all the water used in Arizona. HALF of the resultant production from this water usage is shipped out of the country in order to generate PROFITS.

    👉But I’ll give you three fucking guesses as to who is going to have water restrictions levied against them.👈

    Just like Republicans always mouthing off about the welfare queens, as their orange moron doubles the national debt. They get to take it all and turn around and shit on everybody else for being the problem, as per usual.




  • Still using the wrong terminology and as long as we do, the problem will persist. The rich don’t need to pay a fair share. The upper middle class needs to pay a fair share. The rich need to be taxed out of existence. They are dangerous to civil society. Numbers should be set, ie: no individual should have any business having more than 10 million in cash and 250 million in assets, or whatever. I understand this is an oversimplification that doesn’t take into account business entities, etc - but it’s not like smart people couldn’t sit down and hash out what’s appropriate. Ultimately, beyond the limits set, you either divest and/or turn the money back to your employees/shareholders - or you will give it to the government in the form of seizures and taxation.

    Until such time as something like this is undertaken, we’re just playing footsie with the problem.


  • I loved GTA 3, the first one I ever played and bonus, Vice City was even better! I thought GTA 4 was OK - not great, not terrible. I hated GTA 5. Similarly, I loved RDR and hated RDR 2 (I know I basically stand alone on this one).

    Personally I feel like Rockstar is on a trajectory. My interest in 6 is in negative numbers. It’s not like I don’t like the genre. I love Cyberpunk, but even that I didn’t buy until I managed to get it on sale for $20.

    I might consider getting GTA 6 if it goes on sale for $5, which it won’t. Hell, they still want $20 for 4 lol. Money grubbing shits.
