The metaphor still works. Making our own problems then complaining about them is our defining characteristic as humans.

Why start making good decisions now?

Yes… it’s my CHILDREN’S fault.

You don’t have to think that about public services - it’s a fact. Just look at any country that nationalized a public service to see it in action. Water services in the UK are a particularly prime one.

The jobs that require actual skills and talent have never been compensated well, and the fluff executive jobs are reserved for Nepo babies and people with connections.

The only thing real education is going to be good for in the near future is increasing your knowledge and anxiety about how screwed everything is.

A lot of artists only received recognition after their lifetime because their works became a scarce resource that the rich could then use for circle jerking and tax breaks, and without any pesky living creator to have to pay or worry about doing things that put their investments at risk. It’s been the rich ruining everything and compensating nobody all the way down.

Of course. They’re up there making mochi.

Aqua just looks like that.

This is the hairstyle if you want to annoy Dilbert.

Thus, Proposition 50 is hereby struck down.”

These are gonna be some well-adjusted, loved babies raised by only the most responsible and financially capable parents.

It’s a tragedy she never got to see the impact her work had on so many lives so many years later.
