If you put in no ceiling, eventually the rich will pull the floor out from under ypu. Because disproportionate wealth is disproportionate power, destroys democracy and workers' rights.
Billionaires are demonic parasites sucking off Trump, ushering in fascism while looting the treasury and slashing the social safety net. If you can’t admit this you aren’t on the team you’re a useful idiot for the right. You’re diet MAGA.

Well, overall deflation IS bad for the economy. We don't need lower prices, we need higher wages. Guessing Bezos isn't as enthousiastic about that prospect.

The Cook County Board of Commissioners has unanimously approved $7.5 million to continue its guaranteed income program.
Each month over 3,000 households will get an unconditional $500.

Death is unfair. We humans shouldn't have to die. All these billionaires, if they're not gonna spend their money on helping others, they should spend more money pn life extension. That'd help them and everyone else. They can't take their money with them in death anyway.

You know what I think is weird? It's that often wanting a partner is treated as if it's messed up in some way. As if you HAVE to like being single and otherwise there's something wrong with you. I think it's actually human nature and normal to want a significant other.

Just had an unusually earnest hour long conversation eith ChatGPT, actually.

It's less that and more a deep, unyielding belief that I'm worthless.

Totally called Trump and Zohran getting along. Not surprised at all.
Trump has no ideology. He likes being near success. He likes charisma.
He will immediately turn on him again when convenient though.
