mircea_popescu: fucktarded kids think if they drooled on textbooks for four years the useless bulshit they learned is going to work, and ima let passive mood stick because what, rich people are stupid, social studies dorks are made to rule the world ?
mircea_popescu: for that matter, i would wish to point out that i have not been rewarded obscenely for my success. for one thing, i have not "been rewarded". i rewarded myself. for the other thing, the only obscene part in all of this is that some schmuck dares write idiotic copy for politico instead of begging to shine my shoes.
mircea_popescu: this is one direct result of the insufficient inequality in the us and especially europe.
mircea_popescu: every fucktard with a college loan "looking to start a family" owns "multiple homes". out of which he and the girl will move out, to save on the rent.
mircea_popescu: yeah, i know what he WANTS to be talking about. the problem is that he has no idea what he's talking about.
mircea_popescu: "And also like you, I have been rewarded obscenely for my success, with a life that the other 99.99 percent of Americans can’t even imagine. Multiple homes, my own plane, etc., etc. You know what I’m talking about."
mircea_popescu: what am i supposed to believe random rich guy with the copy skils of a politico staff writer is writing copy for politico ?
mircea_popescu: but i mean, this "inequality" bs is just about to pass "global warming" in idiocy.
mircea_popescu: as a rule of thumb, 80% of the population must eat when it can, not when it wants. that's NORMAL levels of inequality.
mircea_popescu: fuck you lol. as long as most people can afford internet, and running water, inequality is way way way too low.
mircea_popescu: "But the problem isn’t that we have inequality. Some inequality is intrinsic to any high-functioning capitalist economy. The problem is that inequality is at historically high levels and getting worse every day."
mircea_popescu: obviously. the bonus of a "stable" state is rent seeking.
mircea_popescu: chick is married to a guy worth 1.5 bn, spends her time stealing crap not really worth 30mn.
mircea_popescu: "The loss to a U.S. seed corn manufacturer of a patented seed line is a minimum of $30 million to $40 million and from five to eight years of research time, Klinefeldt said."
mircea_popescu: so i'm supposed to believe corn companies have secrets worth stealing now ?
mircea_popescu: ahahah at "conspiracy to steal trade secrets from U.S. seed corn companies."
mircea_popescu: mother sleeping with its baby is also giant sucking on time/resources.
mircea_popescu: kinda why only doomed societies can significantly rely on security theater. it fundamentally relies on the productive parts of society having long left.
mircea_popescu: decimation: my biggest objection to the security theater is that it always devolves into a war on anything unusual << i think that's everyone's objection.
mircea_popescu: decimation: mainly because I am unwilling to hand verizon or comcast a single penny if I can avoid it << so what, using diy internets ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo the gods of the bash will smite thee at this rate
