Re: Late stage capitalism
I’ll always have fond memories of a high school English teacher—only one of two that I have positive opinions of—who declared that trickle-down economics just means pissing on the poor. Very cool to hear that kind of language from a teacher but also connected to a proper sense of outrage.

I sometimes refer to this as trickle-on economics.

Re: Late stage capitalism
A healthy society would shove them both into a volcano and then shoot the volcano into the sun.
https://www.nme.com/news/music/elon-mus ... ed-3330301According to author Devin Gordon who appeared in the BBC‘s new docuseries, The Elon Musk Show, the SpaceX and Tesla CEO believed that Grimes was his “perfect companion” but not “real”.
“She [Grimes] told me repeatedly that Musk has this theory of her that she’s not real,” Gordon told the TV show via Cosmopolitan. “That she’s a simulation who was created by him and exists in his cerebral cortex as sort of the perfect companion to him. Which sounds a little crazy and maybe even a little creepy, except, she agrees with it. She said she does feel like this simulation which was perfectly created for him.”

Re: Late stage capitalism
I have no doubt whatsoever that the NFL would like to go to a model of, if not at least one game everyday, then a game every day from Thursday to Monday. And if the networks go for it, it'll happen.WestwayKid wrote: ↑18 Oct 2022, 6:36pmWhile the NFL keeps missing the point that not every weekend needs to be "special".
