I would smash everything into a handful of overly-complicated lines.

That prosecutorial discretion is a good idea. I’m not implying that you do.
Yes? I’m not arguing with them.
No, just the impression I got from what you said. Emphasis on the socialism, not on the computer program.
The sort of thing well-educated white liberals believe because they learned it in university, and never found themselves on the wrong side of the law.
If we want to address all of those, then we’ll need higher pollution taxes too. Going after just one abstract category of greed will just encourage them to bullshit it into another category.
Mixed people just can’t catch a break
Then how am I supposed to support a coup in a socialist country and say “socialism failed the experiment”?
This has been going on since big oil popularized the “carbon footprint”. They want us arguing with each other about how useful crypto/AI/whatever are instead of agreeing about pigouvian energy taxes and socialized control of the (already monopolized) grid.
IMHO what makes it more appealing now than 20 years ago is the bonkers inequality. We could do a really bad job at socialism and still be better off than we are today. We’re just flushing trillions of dollars worth of value down the toilet on pointless nonsense that only like 100 people want.
“Ummm then we’re not an AI company”
Land Value Taxes are better for this in literally every way.
Call me an optimist but I think the closest thing to socialism we’ll ever see is socialism, not a cool new app.
If we think the comic is being vague, then maybe a better specific example would be nuclear power?
That’s hard to spell
Inns, especially if they’ve got an enormous pot of perpetual stew, and people are giving out quests.
Why would someone prefer that over money that can hold value over time? When I die I don’t want my wife to have to jump through hoops.
You know whose fault this is? Trump’s.
There’s a million liberals and leftists who made mistakes. But ultimately, Trump and his supporters are adults and they are the ones most to blame for what they’ve done. Not liking Hillary didn’t force anybody to vote for Trump; that was a choice they made.
Clueless straight person question: Aren’t you worried about herpes or syphilis?
Conversely: when they say this is the most important election of “our lifetimes”, and the world will end if we lose.
(Doesn’t mean they’re wrong)
