I’m still really mad about the firings, but way more likely to buy the game if a higher portion of the surplus is going to its creators.

XFCE: including it in the meme is bloat

Having a central administrator would kill all the fun - it’s easier to tell what’s an ad than who’s a jerk. A web of trust would be cooler. If you gave me a good rating, then you’d be more likely to see posts by people to whom I’ve given a good rating.

Plus a cool web thing is an easier sell to potential users than “Oh yeah just download the jerk list, and don’t get flagged!”

I’ve walked away from deals like that out of spite, just to see the look on their entitled faces. Fuck your $20 I’ll just donate it.

And these are massive “crypto” platforms too, so forget any crypto-anarchist utopian ideas like assassination markets or climate insurance. They’ll let you and insider traitors bet on who the USA attacks next. Whenever someone suggests we simply regulate the very central corporate bookie, the chuds will say you don’t understand decentralization.

“You understand how monopolies work, right? Don’t you want to get paid more like a monopoly does? Fuck 'em!”

People don’t start fighting when times are good. Whenever we “buy time to organize”, we go out to brunch instead.

A movement only happens when it’s needed, not when it’s best for us.

Unionizing is a free market solution that disrupts a crony government which only represents connected elites.

Hanging chads will always be uncool

He doesn’t have to be. 🪞

I honestly forgot that payphones still exist

OK fine best case scenario Jesus comes back tomorrow and everybody’s problems are over

To be fair those guys are not exactly crying right now.

Let’s call it “Prosperity”!

In typical fashion, Henry George wasn’t even invited.

Not like that!

One of the few ways in which I pity billionaires.

everyone below the owner is incentivised to help the owner increase productivity since the owner ultimately decides if they are fired or get raises and bonuses

I’m addressing this claim here. If increased productivity doesn’t increase compensation, then there’s no incentive to help the owner increase productivity. This year in particular we saw a lot of layoffs by profitable businesses! The productivity increases we have seen can be more easily attributed to technological advancement than increasingly motivated employees.

Imagine how much more productive we’d be if everyone actually had any reason to give a shit about their company. Because most of us certainly do not.
