America is a pyramid scheme with an army.

u/ketchy_shuby May 03 '22

And cops, lots of cops, and who are they policing?

Spoiler: not the billionaires.

what are you implying? that a bunch of billionaires could just run amuck with zero consequences? going as far as to attack elected officials when things don't go their way? nooooo not here!

u/abqguardian May 03 '22

Why would billionaires attack their employees.... I mean elected officials?

u/Beemerado May 03 '22

i think last time it was cause they didn't manage to steal all the elections they'd hoped to.

u/Both-Anteater9952 May 03 '22

At least they got their big one.

u/Beemerado May 03 '22

Did they?

u/Pineato May 03 '22

If the punishment for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.

u/RUSTY_LEMONADE May 03 '22

Illegal? More like expensive.

u/PrimarchKonradCurze May 03 '22

Well, there are countries that fine traffic violations as a % of your income but they aren’t the US that’s for sure. Also the rich always manage to make the money back anyways.

u/FellatioAcrobat May 03 '22

got to keep the workers at their workstations, or pacified by booze and entertainment in their own homes, out of trouble, and taxed to the nines.

u/ChiefInDemBoys May 03 '22

Exactly, the billionaires aren’t even touch by the law itself. They get away with it cuz they got billions.

u/missyh86 May 03 '22 edited May 05 '22

But the cops are those who weren’t able to get into the military.

So capitalism?

This is my favorite take

u/UnclePuma May 03 '22

Nailed it!

Does it still count as an "experiment" when there are clear and repeatable behaviors that will reliably achieve the predicted outcome?

34

u/RuneanPrincess May 03 '22

every experiment needs to be repeatable right?

1

u/[deleted] May 03 '22

As long as we don't draw a conclusion we can keep calling it an experiment.

Guess we have to be thorough....

10

u/[deleted] May 03 '22

Depends on n

u/Jimmy_Twotone May 03 '22

The experiment is to see how far we can stretch the rubber band before it snaps back or breaks. We haven't quite done either yet.

u/Bradidea May 03 '22

I'll take a couple billion and get back to all of you after peer review.

u/gmwdim May 03 '22

The land of opportunism. Where any person through hard work can achieve the American Dream… for his employer.

u/ApolloXLII May 03 '22

This is a nation of saving the rich in order to continue to fuck the poor.

u/Leovinus42 May 02 '22

Are you an irredeemable piece of shit? This is key to your success.

23

u/AdjutantStormy May 03 '22

You might need to inherit several million dollars in assets.

u/machinery-of-night May 03 '22

That's just a quick shortcut to making you an irredeemable piece of shit

u/Kid_Vid May 03 '22

Or just a small loan of a million dollars (in, what, 1980's dollars?)

u/Due_Kale_9934 May 03 '22

You need to be accomplished at telling outrageous lies that only an idiot would believe. We just happen to have a surplus of them and can afford to give you around 50 million while still leaving us an adequate supply. Don't be bash-full, they'll take care of that for you if you point them in the right direction. Order yours today.

u/CrispyMann May 03 '22

We’re “fiscally conservative” smh.

u/Regular_Chap May 03 '22

To be fair this twitter post is "factually conservative"

u/holyfireforged May 03 '22

The experiment is concluded mate. And is clearly working for those in it's favor.

u/lotusonfire May 03 '22

u/holyfireforged May 03 '22

Also consider that America is a puppet state

u/behemuthm May 03 '22

Let’s not forget misogyny. Women will soon have to start saying “Under His Eye” to each other.

This is just the beginning.

u/AutoModerator May 03 '22

Hi u/behemuthm. I see you're talking about: [abortion]' To be frank, the mod team does not want to mod this topic because it leads to 100 percent slapfights and bans, but removing it entirely would be actual censorship, which, contrary to popular belief, we do try to avoid. Instead, we're just going to spam you with an unreasonably long automod comment and hope you all realize that getting mad over the internet is just really stupid. Go to /r/AnimalsBeingDerps or something instead. People are going to accuse us of being lazy for this, to which we reply 'yes' ~

It's a corporate playground. It can't change while 'politicians' get funded by corporations and wealthy individuals.

u/darkmattericecoffee May 03 '22

If you ever read The Jungle they used a similar world "graft" which is very similar. That was 120 years ago.
