  • Why are we even bothering with the “middleman”?

    As it is now, voters are paying these parasites many millions a year (remember in addition to their salaries they have the best healthcare and perks on Earth, I’d be stunned if they ever pay for a meal or any other expense) to pass legislation.

    … and corporations are providing congress with barrels full of cash to pass legislation (that was written by the corporations)

    Just make Amazon, Tesla, JP Morgan, Vanguard et al our “representatives”, and everybody saves an enormous fortune.

    We’re paying for a puppet show that provides nothing to anybody.


  • I’ve got a Samsung fridge. Don’t be me.

    To use the buttons inside the fridge (for temp control, etc), you have to push the “unlock keys” button for 3 seconds. This isn’t a nuclear missile launcher, it’s a fridge. Idiots.

    To clean the bottom shelves, you have to uninstall them… this is an absurdly difficult task. I had to look up how to do so online. It’s infuriating. It’s a shelf.

    The ice maker has one vulnerability; ice. If the fridge temperature is too cold (under 38f) the ice machine doesn’t work.

    Fortunately, I didn’t connect it to network. I hate it.







  • They tend to have other homes in different countries that they can go to very easily. They’ll just jaunt to their other home, to them it’s a hectic Tuesday.

    Also, a lot of these companies they own and/or bank with are international, and can be layered with many shell companies on top of that. Some have been around since the 1800s, they’ve had their wealth seized before, they are aware of this, and believe me, they have taken this into account.

    That’s the best case scenario, what of investors, all of those million and thousandaires? I think you will lose massive amounts of them from all over the world. Is that worth it?

    Tax them competitively together, nations alone weak, together strong is what Macchiavelli said or maybe Planet of Apes one or the other.
