While We Wait: Writer's Block & Other Lame Excuses

[Lord of Elves]

My kingdom for a reaction gif.

The idea that the poor will always be with us is much older than post-industrial neoliberal capitalism.

I mean, like, pure equality seems a bit more far fetched, brah. Wouldn't that be clones and crap?

Resources are not distributed equitably or even efficiently. Artificial scarcity is a thing.

 

[CivOasis]

inequality =/= poverty

Just to reinforce this:

Spoiler :

EDIT: Guess that wasn't really the point being made. Still interesting, so I'll leave it up.

Anyhow my point is that every state on Earth that ever has been or ever will be is Third Wayist to some degree or another, and that they just lean, with varying degrees, in capitalist or socialist directions depending on the society and the political climate.

Before time began there was... the barter. We know not where it comes from, only that it holds the power to create worlds, and fill them with life. That is how our race was born. For a time we lived in harmony, but like all great power, some wanted it for good, others for evil, and so began the war. A war that ravaged our planet until it was consumed by inequality.

Not my screenshot but I think it's funny.

Lol symph.

Sure sure. But "let's have some responsible efforts to avoid mass human suffering" is slightly different from "capitalism is a polio that must be eradicated," Mr. Maduro.

You only have four days to give me your usernames. I can't hold the cabin closed longer than that.

US justice system goes insane and decides it can enforce reclaiming international sovereign debt, news at nine.

 

[Lord of Elves]

The shareholders have spoken, colleague. Free Market bless us all!

 

[Azale]

Why do they make me root for Christina Kirchener? Why?

 

[Gem Hound]

And the USA just made the rest of the world facepalm.

 

[Shadowbound]

But actually, international debt is handled very poorly right now.

 

[Symphony D.]

But actually, thinking the state of New York can enforce any kinds of demands on foreign countries is still dumb as hell.

How dare you. Individual US states > individual foreign countries every day of the week. Please.

I bet Angola could take Wyoming in a fight. Dick Cheney's shotgun won't beat people who put a machete on their flag.

 

[m.t.cicero]

Oh no by 'states' I mean states that I don't forget about 90% of the time.

I.e. the Original 13 Dream Team, Illinois, Minnesota, California, Oregon, Texas, Washington.
