Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

There shouldn't be any billionaires. We got that, because the system has derailed. There were some lackluster failsaves against the in capitalism inherent push to centralisation but those failed due to human greed.

Btw, what happened with the measures against "too big to fail" in international banking?

In the not-too-distant future (later than Next Sunday, A.D. though), there will be trillionaires. How sick is that?

As the system further becomes absurd, so too do the foundations of it.

Probably already have the resources to shoot a janitor into space to endlessly torture.
