Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Hyper conservative capitalism in action folks. You love to see it.

The problem with endless growth is eventually you run out of other people's labour

And the planet runs out of resources

The planet has plenty of resources, they just aren't being utilized well.

Oh my god I'm so stealing that, that's genius. Where did you get that expression from? If it's some content creator, I wanna see their work.

(I'm talking about the "the problem with endless growth" phrase, and I'm not joking)

"The problem with socialism is, you eventually run out of other people's money" - Margaret thatcher.

I just took that and reversed it.

Ol' Madge thought that money gets burned when spent rather than circulating through the local economy.

May she rot in hell.

Love it.

In a similar way, I also like to pull out "capitalism only works on paper."

That's what made it genius, so the reversal was your oc.

Be proud.
