People would eventually begin to realize the futility of possessions and start to live truly free lives.

It’s been ~40 years, and I still think of this commercial every time I see trash on the roadside.

I switched off of the family HSA plan after two years of paying out of pocket at the end of the term. It depends on the customer.

Regardless, the interest rates are abysmal.

You don’t get it. It’s a health savings account.

They charitably contribute a whopping 0.05% APY to an account that drains to zero every year.

I’d rather listen to Vogon poetry than use Elon’s AI.

It’s cultural. The problem is bigger than any one person. As soon as honest men speak out, they either deal with minimization like in the meme, or worse, support from chauvinistic incels who invalidate their message entirely.

The ones serving up the ads aren’t even the ones listening. They’re buying collated data from many different sources, then their algorithm matches your interests with one of the products they’re contracted to sell. Next thing you know you’re looking at a Rolex ad because you zoomed in on someone’s watch on their Instagram post.

I agreed that you’re technically correct. Just like POTUS technically has no authority over SCOTUS, but some presidents get to appoint more justices than others.

You’re saying there’s a system. I’m agreeing and saying the system is flawed.

Technically, sure, but the DOJ is overseen by the AG, who is appointed by the President. That ‘balance’ created in 1870 is not well checked by our system.

Are you for real? He’s the leader of the Justice Department that charged Luigi with terrorism in the first place.

Thanks to Trump, we now know that Luigi could be elected while imprisoned.

He wouldn’t need Trump’s changes. A US president has unlimited power of pardon of federal (not state) charges, with the exceptions of impeachment related crime and self-pardons. The President can even pardon citizens before they’re charged with a crime, like Carter did for the Vietnam draft-dodgers.

Trump’s immunity change by SCOTUS blurs the self-pardon line a bit by allowing POTUS to commit crimes without repercussion as long as they are “official acts,” whatever that means. That change is more forward-thinking, making it far easier for his team to plan his crimes.

They failed to mention the new CEO.

It’s Connor Gaydos, the “birds aren’t real” guy.

That’s fair.

Dark humor is like food. Not everyone gets it.

That’s the point. Just like with the price of bananas, the show pokes fun at how old money families can be so disconnected from reality.

The house always wins.

That’s 𝒥𝒶𝓋𝒶.

The US objectively has the largest GDP in the world. That has nothing to do with economic health or equality. If the majority of US citizens thought their household economy was the greatest, Trump would never have won.

China has been steadily gaining on the US GDP since 2010, after the US peaked prematurely relative to the leading nations of the past. Economists expect China to overtake the US, just as the US overtook the UK in the 1880s.

The US has already peaked. Its economy will continue to fall into the middle of the pack while China gets its time on top.
