Ah, fair enough, I missed the sarcasm. That's on me.

Want to unpack that one for the class?

Can't stay rich without people to buy your shit. Genuinely don't understand how they don't realize that. If the middle and lower class dies, so does their income stream. And even besides that, if all that's left are rich folks because everyone else either cooked to death or left the area, being "rich" loses meaning because you're now all on an even economic playing field. In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is a killer metaphor - as in, anyone left with a bigger cash stash than you becomes the de facto upper class and you do not.

That's when I purposely sit at the light for an extra 5 seconds before moving. Am I an asshole? Maybe.

95% of their customers are businesses, who no, they don't understand that. But their IT department does.

Only a true AdMech would consider his backup file to be an STC. I'm laughing, but also, respect. Praise the Omnissiah.

Where is hbomberguy when the world needs him

Disagree. Currency allowed the flourishing of civilization. You can't effectively trade between cultures or at long distances on the barter system.

What we've done with currency since then, yeah, maybe we're on the same side there. But currency, created as an abstract for value, was a great invention. Civilization as we know it would not have been possible without it.

Though, now that I mention that.... maybe civilization "as we know it" isn't so hot after all.

Don't you love when you end up talking yourself out of your own argument?

"Realistic goals" at this point have simply become to move away from America until it goes the way of the Roman Empire, then come back to rebuild the ashes.

You realize the office of the US President is involved in important things in the world

Such as maintaining the safety and full functioning of the United States of America? Yes, you're completely correct. That's exactly why this needs to happen.

Seriously, this is a valid point. Introverts, please at least try to have more than a single friend. It's hard, I know, I'm one of you. But I've also been someone else's only friend and sometimes you just can't be there when they need you. It doesn't mean they love you any less but each person is the main character of their own story, not yours, and sometimes you can't be the focus of today's chapter. Having more than one person you can lean on will be better for you and better for each of those friends and it'll help you keep friends longer.
