So relieved I wasn’t the only one thinking this

I was actually raised by a single umpire and everyone just assumed I would turn out umpire too but I’m actually electrical

But not seriously

Probably a net benefit for the environment, too…

So subversive

Kai’s Supergoo moment.

I mean they could keep going until the last wild tree dies, the last fish chokes, and the last person gets to breathe for free. And then the whole system crashes, because there’s literally nothing left to take.

I agree it’s unsustainable, I just think that unless we do something to stop them, they will literally let us die by the billions, if it means they get to be in charge of the toxic landfill planet.

Yeah… and for sure there are gradations which are worse or better than what we have now. Like more tightly managed capitalism is better, but there is no way to actually keep the demon capital from escaping containment forever.

You need to nullify the incentives to accumulate capital.

He’s like what they were afraid / what we wished Obama was

You’re a much nice person than the one you replied to. Nice job on taking the high road.

I hear it brother

The has got to be an alternate route that is nicer than that, that’s wild.

But I get that sone areas are incredibly car centric and leave you little choice.

Good guy brain

Same until I got a bicycle

It’s very much bored ape energy, yeah

As a millennial I know what it’s like to take comfort from something that is crass commercial, and ultimately bad for the environment (looks guiltily over at Switch)…

I share your perspective, but I’m not sure how to get people to see how to do better, because I myself am manipulated by similar forces, yet all I do is grumble about it as I fork over my money for the latest so the company can sell me little bits of the wonder I felt as a child back to me.

I don’t even blame them. It’s a big circle and I’m part of it.

PS. Sorry I wrote this as the caffeine was just kicking into higher great. It might be a bit much.

Hmm but what if I want to make thousands of people work for me without giving any excess value created by their labour to anyone else?

If only there were more than these two dreary instantiations of differing economic frameworks, but as alas, I know only of these two pictures.

Pour one out for the back of my calves. Every summer I forget.

That could be you!
