Wont ever happen OP

You see we've kept alive people who should have, by all respects died off due to being too sucky for life or too old

We have to let them die, then when there's fewer people, labor becomes more valuable.


The liberals messed with supply and demand and surprise, it doesnt work when you do that

the sun supplies a given amount of energy, and the land can purpose it into items for supporting life, shouldn't the maximum population be based on this natural state rather than what can be scrabbled from the old men and their guns and bombs and drones?

hi i have an idea. what if income & spending wasn't taxed at all. but accumulation (wealth) was taxed on a rising scale?

if you had 100 bux it'd be taxed one dollar a year.
if you had 1000 bux it'd be taxed twelve dollars a year
if you had 10,000 bux it'd be taxed 150 dollars a year

and so on

you could make as much money as you like tax free as long as you spent it all

though you would be taxed for accumulated property & land

then the government would have a shitload of money & could give it to whoever needed some, like teachers who are poor

i looked up the provenance of the photo and it's more benign than it seems, these are bones dug up from corpses and going to be moved bc the cemetery is full and the tenants aren't paying anymore so it's time to evict the ones who are living under rent control
