It's those pesky communist agitators!
22Maybe not in my lifetime but they'll be gone eventually, just needs to get momentum.
14Might take 100 years or so... Remember, the titans of retail used to be Sears, Woolworth's, and Newberrys.

27Friendly reminder that Eddie Lampert effectively drowned Sears Holdings (Sears & Kmart) in the bath tub. He single-handedly wiped out two major retailers, hundreds of smaller ones, and tens of thousands of jobs in one of the most successful corporate raids ever executed.
What a greedy shit bag.

What if in this zany world there were no billionaires? Would people still be unhappy with their standard of living? My guess is yes but it's also a catch 22 because billionaires use the sliding scale to minimize wealth for the general populous and maximumize wealth for themselves.
10"There would be no incentive for job creators to work! Why do you hate freedom? Sob."
1As though they “work” now? (I heard the unwritten /s and just wanted to clarify)

9There's no way Amazon would be that close to a community, they couldn't make any money off the shade they would accidentally be providing.
6Come to AZ. They are putting those things up right next to neighborhoods
8They’re building one literally in my neighborhood. Apparently all of the notices that “went out” during the comment period didn’t get any response…

I haven’t bought from Amazon or a big box store for years now. Fuck ‘em. First choice is second-hand, if not then I buy local.
If I absolutely cannot solve my issue without plastic shit from China, I just buy it directly and wait a month.
5Crosby?
4Probably Bing Crosby. I'm too lazy to look it up but he's probably known for singing the song Aint we got fun
1That was what I thought as well, I wanted clarity to ensure that OP didn't mean Cosby, as that would also make sense.
Since literally all of the economic policies of the last 5,000 - 12,000 years that most people know about were designed to fuck the poor, the fictional middle class, and anyone else that wasn't rich to begin with. It wasn't called "Horse and Sparrow" economics for no reason. They didn't rebrand it to "Trickle down" economics for no reason.
Prior to 12,000 years ago, one can actually find sensible, and sustainable economic policy that lasted from 15,000 to 25,000 years ago, until the late 1700s. In the form of the six nations. Archeology confirms that 25,000 years ago isn't an unreasonable estimate, just possibly unsupported by current data. Their best data says that the 6 nations were there, and doing much the same thing for at least 20,000 years.
