    The weird thing is that these people don’t think they’re rich enough and want to extract more money from government and the people, and they simultaneously think that the government gives too much money to poor people.

      To these people, there’s no such thing as “enough”. Contentment is not a concept that exists within their minds, only a sociopathic urge to acquire more.

      Imagine how rich we’d all be if all the suppressed emancipatory technologies got availed to each and all. No more impoverishment by rents. Free energy. Negligible cost of travel. All space opened to us each and all.
