True, it’s not the only thing, But a big part of it.

Land is the only commodity that’s actual worth anything, perpetually.
- Comment on have you ever been given a warning or suspension for using profane language at work? 5 months ago:
Which only applies to being able to criticize the US government without persecution. It absolutely does not apply to private businesses and institutions. They can fire the fuck out of your ass over your filthy fucking cum gutter of a mouth.

Well, you could start your own business where you can say what the fuck you want. Or, you could not act entitled like you think you can say whatever the fuck you want. It’s up to fuckin’ you.
- Comment on Are there any historical or modern day true stories (like the story of The Buddha) of someone born rich and privileged who just walked away from their family and turned down money and an inheritance? 5 months ago:
Andrew Carnegie, and it wasn’t totally altruistic. He did terrible, terrible things to get that rich. And he realized that he, and his peers, would likely be murdered French Revolution style if he didn’t do something to throw a bone to the poors. And maybe he was a little afraid of Hell. So he built concert halls (Carnegie Hall,) libraries, museums, charities, etc. I respect that he motivated (shamed) The Rothschilds, The Rockerfellers, and Vanderbuilts to emulated him out of envy. So, he achieved some good. But there’s no such thing as a Good Billionaire.

I wondered when this would happen. With all the data scraping, corporations are going to know your “Spending Potential,” and price items for you, specifically, according to your SP score. Believe it.

Guillotines. The only answer.
- Comment on I don't want to call Twitter X out of spite, but calling the travesty that is X Twitter is an insult to the people that made Twitter what it was. 5 months ago:
Xcrement. It’s called Xcrement.
