We’ve been so focused on taxing the wealthy to lower inequality, but maybe the answer is staring us in the face
What if we just nuke the economy to ruins?

It is, blessedly so. Maybe this will take the electricity-gobbling AI data centers off line and my power bill will go down.

I don’t cry for industry, I cry for the workers who constantly and disproportionately bear the brunt of the failures of industry leaders. Unregulated capitalism makes slaves of us all. And, we keep letting them do it for their forever unfulfilled promises and fearmongering.
