  • The billionaires need labor to not organize against them. If labor organized, they’d be screwed. Luckily for them you exist. The billionaires are safe as long as they can keep you doing what you’re doing now, which is try to divide labor into groups of “us” vs “them”. Anything that generates friction and hinders organizing is a win for them. I invite you to help work towards a solution, there is always room for more help. There are apparently 6,000 more people who are going to be motivated and have a bit of extra time on their hands. Maybe they can help too.


  • I will throw this idea into the ether and hope someone with more time, knowledge, and talent than me builds on it: swap the brains of an HP Printer with a raspberry pi. All the motors and wiring are in place, and HP sells the printer for cheap to screw you on ink and software. You’d probably want a new source of ink and a way to refill the cartridges to fully cut out HP. I feel like this would get you pretty close at an affordable price.

    The whole world wants the Linux version of a printer, we just need a couple people to get together and figure this out.



  • These are people who come from wealthy families and spent their whole lives paying tutors to help them cram just enough to get their degree. They had family friends working at big companies who hired them based on who they know not qualifications. They go to expensive bars and clubs together and all that matters is who you know and how wealthy and well known your family is.

    That is who the trump family is, and it describes a large portion of these financial institutions. I’m citing Gary Stevenson as my source for this.



  • The working class and middle class will continue to work and provide value to investors, because they have to. No work means no food, no home, so people will continue to work and investors will still have that value coming from the working and middle class. Their lives will suck, but that’s not a rich person problem. Ideally, for the rich, the working class and middle class will sell off their assets at fire sale prices so that they can survive and the rich will get valuable assets on steep discounts. Homes that foreclose will be bought up and renters will be put in them and the return for investors will be incredible.

    Recessions are when rich people get much wealthier in a short period of time. This is deliberate and the rich will be using their money to “invest” while the working and middle class produce more value for investors at their jobs and sell their assets to the investors.

    There is no such thing as a recession being bad for the wealthy. The only thing bad for the wealthy is taxes and regulations. Even if their net worth drops, it only drops on paper temporarily and as long as they don’t sell while the value is down it’s like it never happened. If it ever gets really bad that’s when companies are then deemed “too big to fail” and the government bails them out.

    It’s intentional and they’re all excited about the recession.


  • First, thank you for the thoughtful and detailed comment. It was really well thought out and really hit on some excellent points. This is the feedback I was hoping for. I’m a software developer by profession, not someone who writes legislation, so the whole proposition is basically spitballing until something usable comes out.

    You make some really good points and I agree with them for the most part. I’m going to sit and think on this some and get back to you after I’ve had some time to digest it more.
