There won’t be any limits after people snap. Back to the jungle we go. Don’t worry, it’s not like we were ever actually civilized. We hid our savagery behind the economic system

    Y’all remember the occupy wallstreet protests with the “we are the 99%” message. Yeah that scared the crap outta them. They shut that shit down real quick. More of that please.

      They don’t admit to having real estate investments so we’re sort of forced to assume they’re just control freaks who want to use workplaces to satisfy their megalomania kink.

        It’s like playing Russian roulette. A big gun, 100 chambers, one bullet. You pull the trigger, click, no bang, you get richer. Click, you get richer. Click, click, click, you are wealthy. Click, click, click, you’re a billionaire. Click, bang, your brain is splattered all over the wall. That’s the game the rich are playing. You can’t keep winning forever.

    Unfortunately, borrowing money is way too easy compared to how hard it is to pay it off. The snap comes at the regular person’s expense and lenders just get bailed out. Then they guilt you into feeling bad for being poor so you buy things to make you feel like you’re not poor and the cycle continues.

    When they stretch harder they just blame the war/immigrants/politics/weather. When there’s some slack it’s because of the company’s tireless work at improving everyone’s life. Until it’s time to stretch again.
