No you’ll get fined, fail to pay fines, get arrested for failing to pay fines, get sent to prison and work as a slave forever as court fines increase in perpetuity.
Republicans want to bring slavery back wholesale and they are succeeding.
It actually doesn’t have to be a nightmare for anyone. The rich can have perfectly pleasant lives while everyone is provided for. It’s just not the most profitable situation for the rich. To have their best life, everyone else must be miserable.
Some things are still scarce. But very few things we need are, or at least, very few things we need need to be scarce.
We live in a society that throws away 40% of the food it produces. Sure, there will always be some losses and sure, consumers being picky is a part of that too. But that together isn’t 40%. It’s maybe 10. Most of it is thrown away before it even has a chance to be sold.
We have three times as many vacant homes as we have homeless people. If that sounds hard to believe it’s because it is, I just lied.
We have 30 times as many unoccupied homes as we have homeless people. And yet housing has never been more expensive.
We produce goods we don’t need for people we don’t like, so we can spend every penny trying to stay alive. We have little left to give and yet they always find a way to take more from us.
The system isn’t broken, it’s functioning exactly as it’s designed to. With the people doing all the work reaping none of the rewards. They toss us scraps and demand our gratitude.
Fuck em. They won’t give us the tools to unseat them. They’ve purchased the power to decide who’s in office, who makes the rules, and as long as we play by the rules they allow, we’ll never win.
One could argue that it’s their best life. To be richer than rich, one would likely get poorer in spirit.
There’s a reason the root of many evils is the thing that it is.
I can’t imagine why it would feel bad for others to not be starving to death while they did reasonably well - which there’s room for!

The American experiment has failed.
Nonsense. This is the American dream. To be a pleasant one for the rich it has to be a nightmare for others.

We live in a post scarcity economy, but not a post scarcity society. Depressing as fuck.

Did someone say debtor’s prison?
