Having kids today is completely stupid. Just adopt a kid if you're so into being a parent. Most wont consider it though due to ego. Your kid will be an idiot just like you and just like the idiot baby you would adopt though

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:it used to be that the mentally unstable loners would assassinate public figures. but now, the oligarchs have learned to deflect that drive to commit public acts of violence away from themselves. poor people will continue to kill other poor people while the rich remain untouched. propaganda has advanced too far and education has regressed. The problem is that actually making a difference there would require researching who is actually guilty of harming society for their own gain, finding out where they live and work, and coming up with a solid strategy for getting close enough to kill whoever it is without anyone noticing you're up to something. People with the balls to resort to violence tend to be way too impulsive for that.

Yeah I'm not sure people want to know that the day care workers they drop their infants off with barely get more than minimum wage to watch a room full of babies. (Yes there are ratio limits that have no real enforcement behind them)

Ice Blue Mink posted:Yeah, imagine just that we have just a guaranteed basic income. I'm going to set up shop and say "hey if you give me the next three months of income when it comes in, I'll write you a check for 90% of that right now!" and now I can get rich off of dumb people. Even in a moneyless society, you could do the same with food, or medicine, or whatever, unless you go full hog and distribute the exact amount of everything to everyone at the moment of consumption (a la prison). Plenty of opportunities like this exist if you're creative enough, even in a real socialism communism world. I don't think this would work that well actually. I don't think you can make tons of money loan sharking as one dude in a poor neigh orhood and I think you are just saying you could manipulate others cuz you think you're badass and really smart.

And this is a really big company so I can't imagine anyone else would really have the security to stop this, especially before the cat's out of the bag. I bet you could go infiltrate a big office building like a spy thriller movie. You should do that lol

Should probably considering rebranding universal minimum income as a bribe to keep the unwashed masses from pulling down your gated community at the seams and eating your mangled corpse in the burnt out wreckage. Rather than some empathetic socialist charity to ease the burden of the poor.
