Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

At some point it probably becomes more valuable to offer jobs that barely keep people alive than it does to deal with the sheer number of unemployed people who are now ready to burn everything down.
Then again, capitalism has never been good at externalities.
I expect a resurgence of jobs like "servant" and "shoe-shiner". You don't need these, either, but this way capitalists can lord their wealth over the masses face-to-face.
Not sure they want that face-to-face with people that far below them. Too easy for any one of them to Luigi.
Give it a couple generations of malnutrition and genetic damage. Those lower classes will look like toasters and microwaves. Ez to face.
