Quote:Well, if THAT'S how you feel, then why are you pissing and moaning about not having any of it, Karen?
SIGNY: Apparently you haven't looked into the Fed balance sheet lately, nor the Exchange Stabilization Fund. Again, you might want to look that up instead of speaking out of your ass.
SIX: What the fuck does it matter if we're talking billions or trillions when it's all monopoly money. So what that they have more paper and ones and zeros.

Back to my original speculation ...
Quote:Being a whiny Karen much?
SIGNY: It isn't. If you can drop out of the workforce and nobody goes hungry or naked or sick or unhoused, then what were you doing, exactly? Polishing doorknobs?
SIX: Then figure out UBI or something. And then figure out a way to keep people busy that doesn't involve jacking off all day and watching Netflix. Because we're on the precipice of an unprecedented amount of suicides when the realization hits millions that their existence is superfluous. Particularly among males.
Here's the funny thing: you whine that men are going to off themselves when they are not longer able to acquire any of that funny-money that you seem to think is useless, and you whine when men are suddenly faced with actually having to WORK for a living when other nations stop accepting our funny-money.
So what, exactly, are you complaining about?
Quote:FOR WHO? Not for the wealthy elite! They'll still have their chateaux in the mountains, and their provate island retreats and, if worse comes to worst, their bunkers in New Zealand. You seem to think the wealthy envision sharing a common future with the rest of us, when their entire life experience have told them no such thing.
SIGNY: Why would the elite kill off a bunch of people? Has it not occurred to you that the elite want an entire WORLD full of desperately poor people who have no control over their future? Maybe their idea of heaven is billions of people in such miserable conditions that they're willing to do ANYthing ... sell their kidneys, their hearts, their babies ... to extend the lives of the elite. Yanno, their idea of heaven could be our idea of hell.
SIX: Overpopulation. It is the real crisis of the 21st century.
Quote:Hmm... I don't think the elite worry over-much abou the morality of killing a million ... or a billion... people. I just don'tthink they'd bother with "overpopulation" as a problem. It's only a problem if you imagine that YOU'RE going to be in the scrum, fighting for resources.
SIX: Maybe the plan is to catalyze en-masse suicide. Then the media can say that they did it to themselves.
Quote:Every consumer needs a producer. It is possible to be both.
SIGNY: And here I am, telling them that they should get up off their asses, step away from whatever screen they're looking at, and MAKE themselves essential. Take back control of government and economic policy. Stop begging for "more of the same but worse" and start working towards something better.
SIX: And how exactly do you make yourself "essential"?
There's too many people. That is impossible. We're a world of consumers.
Quote:I thought the purpose of most humans is to live.
If consumerism dies after this, than so does the purpose of half of the human beings on the planet.
Not to be too pointed about it, but you've mentioned suicide so many times I'm beginning to worry that you've got suicidal ideation. You OK, SIX?

As horrifying as it is, by November 2020 the 100,000 COIVD-19 milestone will be lightyears in the rearview mirror and beyond moot. I hope you're not counting on it the get Biden elected.

Until you can admit that, we have nothing further to discuss on the topic.
Do Right, Be Right. :)
So, SPEAKING OF BULLSHIT NUMBERS...
WHAT ABOUT THAT 4TH GRADE ARITHMETIC PROBLEM THAT YOU'VE BEEN AVOIDING, SIX?
YOU KNOW ...
327 MILLION * 0.4 (OR 0.3, IF YOU WANT TO BE CONSERVATIVE) INFECTION FATALITY RATE?
HOW MUCH WAS THAT, AGAIN?
500.000?

I don't understand your math question here.
Are you actually alleging that The Coomph will kill 40% of the people that get it now? Is that how far into fantasy land we've drifted now?

Signy forgot to add the % symbol
AND
your math is still wrong.
When YOU looked at the 0.004 CDC figure YOU thought it meant 0.004% .
IT DOESN'T.
It meant 0.004 FRACTION. Or,for those who can read, 0.4%
So try your math again and tell me - does 325M * 0.4% = 500,000?

Go back to work doing WHAT?
There are now 35 million more people unemployed that have been told for 60 days that they were unessential. How many of those jobs do you think are going to come back? Maybe half of them if we're lucky.
Where are these magic jobs going to come from?

You seem to be putting a much larger importance on money backed by paper than you should be.
Do you believe that the wealthy elite all agree with each other that global warming isn't real and that we haven't contributed to it? Or a more accurate question is, do you believe that 100% of the wealthy elite are so absolutely certain that global warming isn't real and we don't contribute to it that they're willing to risk allowing our severe overpopulation problem along with our ever increasing carbon footprint to grow unchecked so they can have more slaves?
I mean, really... How many slaves are enough? Where's the ROI on having 7 Billion slaves when half of them are "non-essential"? That's not very Six Sigma.
That's an extra 3.5 Billion mouths to feed that don't need to be fed. An extra 3.5 Billion people polluting the air and the environment. An extra 3.5 Billion people that need to be housed. An extra 3.5 Billion people that need just enough shit that they don't start burning everything down.
From a managerial aspect, there's no benefit to having that many people. If there were half as many people, it's twice as easy to keep them happy enough where the idea of revolt isn't in all of their heads 24/7.
Under the right circumstances, it's possible to have a few billion slaves who find their existances copacetic enough that they don't even really feel like they are slaves. Under those circumstances, the majority would likely argue against the more intelligent that they aren't slaves.

Boy... have you been coming off as an elitist yourself recently. Must be nice in those cushy California digs you got with your cushy retirement accounts and health insurance.

You're forgetting halfway through your post that 35 million people in America alone have just been told that what they do is non-essential. And you offer zero ideas for job replacement for them.
It's impossible to have a conversation with you because you're changing your argument every time you break my post up to reply to me.
